LOOKING FORWARD TO JANUARY
Its been an interesting week. A friend of mine got back from Pakistan and told me about their travels and gave me some gifts including some unique tasting chocolate and dried fruit and a sugar tin shaped like a snowman. I had an hour long conversation with another friend about life in general. It felt great. I love talking on the phone vs text. I was so adverse to texting when it started a while back and I'm still getting used to it being the norm.
A friend of mine, Mark Knutson, who is a comedian in a wheel chair told me how he submitted his taped audition to 'America's Got Talent'. He got this idea after one of the executive producers came to his comedy festival in Sioux Falls a while back. I thought it was encouraging and a brave step.

Missing Mississippi Moons
Inspired by his grandfather’s story, local actor/playwright Antonio Duke (Tears of Moons) embodies a mosaic of characters who struggle to find their power in the Jim Crow era. Framed by the epic flood of 1927 in Greenville, Mississippi, Edward Ash comes home to bury his father and finds himself at the intersection of grief, racial violence and hope.

CURRENTLY
Reading:
An online book club is reading this and I'm liking it a little more than Kate Quinn's, 'The Alice Network', although after reading this I may give that one a second chance.
Love Jan Karon's whole novel series. One of my favorite was one that dealt with Father Tim visiting Ireland
Reading:
i'm just keeping on. hope your friend has good luck and you have a good week
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Thanks. Traveling can be fun and interesting. Its always great to receive a gift as well.
DeleteGood selection of books for me to check out.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy texting for the ease of quick messages, but there's nothing like hearing the voice of a loved one.
ReplyDeleteIts true Karen. There is so much emotion in a person's voice and shared connections when its verbal.
DeleteSending good thoughts and wishes to your friend!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are lovely. I especially like the dark clouds.
I haven't read Jan Karon in such a long time. Very comforting reads.
Yes, lots of comfort reads. I've been trying to do book clubs so motivate myself to read and it helps.
DeleteLove your giphy and your quote. True words that! I loved The Alice Network and I'm looking forward to reading The Huntress. The Mystery of Mrs Christie seems so enticing and I really want to read that one too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Thanks Elza, This website https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VIII/VIII_1_17.htm sends me emails daily and I try to meditate on all of the quotes. It opens your eyes and keeps you open minded.
DeleteI am curious about The Mystery of Mrs. Christie.
ReplyDeleteI am also a fan of talking on the phone...a lost art these days. Sigh.
Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
The only person I talk to on the phone is my brother.
ReplyDeleteI have five brothers and only one enjoys talking to me on the phone, sighs.
DeleteYou always do such interesting things. I talked on the phone constantly for work so I don't talk on it much nowadays. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
Thanks Anne, its a huge compliment for sure.
DeleteI am glad you were able to talk to your friends via phone. I confess I hate talking on the phone, and video chatting anymore. I am glad to see you are enjoying The Huntress. I want to read that one. I still need to read Alice Network was well. It's been years since I last read Jan Karon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
lol, I hear ya. There are a few individuals that I prefer texting lol and its great to have that option.
DeleteYou are the second person to mention DoorDash this week so I just had to Google to see what it is.
ReplyDeleteOther than my mother, charity coldcallers and phone scammers it’s pretty rare that my phone rings these days.
Wishing you a great reading week, I’d like to read The Huntress
Funny shelley. Yeah, I've received four scam calls to my cell phone which I personally blocked, lol. Charity cold calling is a new one for me.
DeleteDriving for DoorDash sounds like an adventure and it is sure to keep you busy these days! I'm not a big phone person but I have been enjoying it more lately with all the quarantining. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd recommend having a phone conversation during this time. Reaching out to someone and just talking about anything, anything at all, even if its something silly can help a lot.
DeleteThat’s lovely your friend brought you a gift, it just have been great hearing about their travels!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your photos from the week. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying The Huntress too. I'm planning to read that one this year too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Japanese restaurant photos are my fav. (not only cause Tokyo buffet has the greatest PHo ever) but also because the fish are so beautiful and one is even in breed mode.
DeleteI spent 45mn on the phone with my sister yesterday, we haven't seen each other in almost a year... The Agatha Christie book is interesting and I'm hoping everything turns out right for your friend. Enjoy your week !
ReplyDeleteYeah, I spent like an hour long talk with this friend and then we ended up texting each other later in the week as well.
