I am a day behind.....per usual!

Remember a while back when I was going through my books?  Well, things happened and I got diverted but yesterday I got back at it.  I dusted shelves and books and loaded up the book cases again.  I have a shelf of books to sell and there are more to go through but it's a start or should I say a 're-start"?
Why do I have such a hard time parting with things?  Especially books?  I'm  probably not going to do organic chemistry or calculus again nor will I utilize any of my horse books again although I would like to think I will.  But, I am letting go of some and I think the more I continue to go through them the more I will be able to say good bye to parts of  my life that will never be again.
Speaking of books.........I got some in the mail yesterday...I know....therefore I need to get rid of at least as many as came in the mail!  I got the sewing book I've been waiting for.....these are all from Thrift Books.............

and the next book in the Beatrix Potter mystery series............oh how I love these books...so soothing..just what I need right now............

and my own copy of Round Robin...the 2nd book in The Elm Creek Quilt series.......now I can take the library book back....I'm almost done with it..........it's even better than the first book

I started reading this which is a library book and it is very good.......
I found this book when I was cleaning and clearing.  I think I bought it after my folks passed away but I never got too far with it........maybe now would be a good time.......it's a classic

I went up town and got ingredients to make trail mix.........and I made some..........I used flaked coconut, popcorn, pretzels, peanut butter M&Ms, dried cherries and dry roasted peanuts......very good but I might skip the coconut simply because it makes it "sticky" and I do not like my hands "sticky"...weird  right?  It cost me about $10 for a big batch when I could have bought a bag for $2.50 but it was a small bag and not homemade.  This is just a small bowl of it..........

I also made the cauliflower"steaks" last night but I didn't think they were as good as my daughter's.  They're good though!  I used 2 heads of cauliflower so I will be eating it for awhile!  I forgot to take a picture.
Last but not least I was so "smitten" with Marsha's post yesterday of her crocheted Victorian squares that I had to give it a try..........love it but I have yet to finish an entire square.........thanks Marsha....I really needed a new project........NOT! LOL!  I love it though!
 Today, NEXT comes to connect my fiber to the inside of the house!  I'm so excited!  I will have t.v. again if everything goes right but I will have lost my email so I will need to set up another email.  I'll let you know what it is when I get it set up.  I hope you are having a good day so far.  Yesterday it was 94 but the bank said 104...when it gets that hot does it really matter?  But it rained about supper time so I didn't need to go out and water! PTL!
Happy Trails!!!

  1. I struggle with having too many books too, in particular novels that I won't read again. I have no place to sell them so I give them to the public library and to the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood. This past week has been a little cool here, about 65 to 70, and I like it.

    2. testimony of my life

      Good day everyone,my name is Jessica from USA i am here to testify about how i got a real and working blank ATM card from a good hacker on the internet, i was very poor before and i have been unemployed since 2015, i came across a post on the internet concerning the blank ATM card and i decided to give it a try,i agreed to the terms and conditions to receive the card.
      it worked like magic when i received this card and i was able to withdraw 5000$ daily with this card, i have a car of my own now and i have gotten a house too.
      if you need a real blank ATM card, contact this good hacker on his email mrfrankblankatmcard@gmail.com
      i post this here because i know you can also be favoured by this testimony.
      thanks

  2. I have so many books that I need to read and donate. Even have a big bag in the trunk of my car that's been there awhile. I'm still holding on to my teaching supplies and haven't taught in about 13 years so I probably could let go of most of that, too. Why is it so hard to just get rid of things we aren't using? I read Becoming and enjoyed it. I tried a new crochet square on Friday. I LOVE cauliflower. So good, so many ways. Have a good day! Tammy

  3. It's always hard to get rid of books. When one of my Aunts were still alive, we'd send each other books, so we simply made trades and I loved it. I sure do miss her too. We'd write hand written letters and often add a surprise to the box.

  4. I went through most of my books last year. I gave 70% of them to Mandy. That way if I really want to read it again I know where it is! She like a lot of the same books as I do.
    I love that pretty square start. I would like to make some new types of squares and have a few pattern books I should get out.
    Your granola looks wonderful and I love cauliflower but have ever had it as a steak before.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  5. I'm working on books, too. I think you hit the nail on the head when you say "... able to say good bye to parts of my life that will never be again." That's exactly what getting rid of books (and for me, craft supplies) feels like. The end of an era. The end of pursuing things I evidently thought sounded good at one point. But I do find that letting go of begets more letting go of, so day by day, I slip another book or three off a shelf and add it to my discard box.

    Hello everyone, i would like to share my experience on this platform. i have been hearing of Blank Atm for a while and i applied through a few people but i was scammed, not until i found Mr George who saved me from scammers, i got my blank ATM card in 5 days after application and tried the encrypted card in an ATM machine and pos cash store to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw $3000 and that was the daily rate i applied for. to be honest there is no risk involved the card is not traceable and has an infrared signal that blocks off CCTV during your withdrawals. i just payed my daughters tuition fee and cleared my mortgage debts, i am also richer and started a business that is doing fine. Mr George is really a life saver and he is very genuine. You can contact him with this email address: georgewilder402@gmail.com

    Best wishes

  9. I've been seeing posts and testimonies about BLANK ATM CARD but I never believed it, not until I tried it myself.
    It was on the 12th day of March. I was reading a post about places to visit in Slovakia when I saw this captivating post about how a Man described as Mr George changed his life with the help of a Blank Atm Card. I didn't believe it at first until I decided to reach him through the mail address attached to the post. To my greatest imagination, it was real. Right now am living up to a standard I never used to live before. Today might be your lucky day! Reach Mr George via email: georgebrodericktechnologies@gmail.com and contact number/Whatsapp: +1 210-460-7419.... see you on the brighter side of life

I'm here to testify about Mr John Blank ATM Cards which can withdraw money from any ATM machines around the world.. firstly I thought it was scam until I saw so many testimony about how Mr John sent them the ATM blank card and how it was used to withdraw money in any ATM machine and become rich so I decided to risk the opportunity I contacted him also and I applied for the Blank Card to my greatest surprise I have used it to get 10,000 dollars. maximum withdrawal daily $1,000, Mr John is giving out the card just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any ATM Machine Vault,If your interested kindly contact him directly on his email (johnlopez1945@gmail.com)
