What can I say? It was a very quiet and uneventful week. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?
Today we celebrate not only Columbus Day, but also Indigenous People’s Day. I’m a Wisconsin native where several Native American tribes/nations covered close to 100% of the state at one time. It is the same here in Oklahoma, the place I now call home. Whichever you celebrate, give thanks and remember the trails that were blazed before you came to be.
The Friends of the Chickasha Public Library is in the midst of their fall used book sale. I grabbed a few children’s books for my great-granddaughter last week while I took my turn in monitoring the event on Thursday. The “suggested” price for books is hardcover $1 and paperback $0.50, although books can be purchased with a donation, which a number of people opted for. During my 2-hour stent, I witnessed several people dropping their donation into the box and leaving with a box or two filled to the top. Sharing the gift of reading is so important for our young people, so if your local library has a used book sale, please go and pick up a few books. AND if your area is involved with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, be sure to sign up your little ones up to 5 years old. It’s free!
Fall is taking its time to arrive here. We have only had a handful of days where the temps were either at or below the average. Usually by this time the a/c has been off for a while, and I am looking forward to happening again.
That is about it for now. Have a wonderful week! Open those windows and let the Fall fresh air in!
I can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life as an author. I hope I have not bored you too much with them. 😊 After all, other people's lives are never as glamorous as we may think.
May your ereader or bookshelf overflow with delightful
books to read!
