It’s A Thing

36 Comments/ 3780/ 0

I pride myself on usually being on the cutting edge of things.  I love to be the one who has the handle on the latest trends and fashion.  NOT!   I like comfortable and that is not always the trend.

On my last trip to North Carolina around the time of my birthday my best friend in the whole wide world, Ann, gave me some presents.  Socks were one of the presents because that is a thing with us.  Not sure why but it is.  A cute little can of flowers that if I add the right amount of sun and water I will have a beautiful little can of love.  And a dancing flower.

Oh it is cute.  It is more than cute.  It is adorable.  The solar powered daisy dances in the light and makes me smile. Ann says they are a thing.  Not only are there dancing flowers there are dancing pigs and ladybugs and elephants and all kinds of solar powered dancing things.  I think the next one I need to have is the Lucky Cat that is shown on Amazon.  lucky cat

How did I not know about these?

People keep them on their desks and line them up.  I suspect it is a bit of a competition to see how many you can have.  I put mine in my car (thanks to a bit of velcro) and am totally loving it.  It makes me smile and think of my bestie at the same time.

Am I the last one to know about this latest “thing”?

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
