Sorry folks.




Nothing earth shattering in our inner world, re: to our home that has occurred.
Although, the news on the other hand was flourishing with many fake and true newsworthy information for our souls to see and hear and learn from with access from many modes.

Hubby and I for some odd reason sat in the same room and watched a Stephen King novella based movie, 1922. Mixed reviews.
We were not that frightened, some of King's stories are scary as any of your worst nightmares!
When I was a child I read all of Poe, i.e. Edgar Allan Poe.
To me Stephen King was/is a modern day macabre stylized Poe, so I read him.
In the 1970's he could not write fast enough for me!
My favorite to this day, is his, The Stand, that I must have read four times, yes several hundred pages and newer versions with additional pages!
As a child and into adulthood I read all of Agatha Christie, Erle Stanley Gardner, Arthur Conan Doyle, etc. those sorts of oldies, but goodies!
To be fair I also read Anne of Green Gables, Bobbsey Twins, and Nancy Drew series.
So many authors since then from Robin Cook to James W. Hall to Randy Wayne White and on and on ... many women authors too.
Reading does help with writing as any English teacher will tell you.
But forget about helping with grammar due to dialects, mannerisms of how real people speak in dialogue in most stories...see I do have an excuse, ha!

But really folks if you can give your children one gift, a cheapo one, it should be the joy of reading and the enjoyment of BOOKS!
Besides helping with mandatory studies in all levels of school, it is downright fun, and the original bargain basement escapism! 


On that note allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly share all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
