LeeAnna and the gang are discussing


do you like amusement parks? which one is your favorite? Do you like
rides or shows better?

I have enjoyed amusement parks over the years.  It has been more than 20 years since I last went to one!  I guess that means that I have outgrown them.  I no longer care for rides but do enjoy the shows.  It makes more sense to just go to a show!  I guess I would go to one if my grandkids were going.  The closest one is Wonderland and that is about an hour's drive.  

I like that my ideas for a book for my grandson are finally starting to come together.  I have been playing with a number of different ideas that just weren't working.  Finally, I have landed on something!  That feels good.  This book will be done with mixed media rather than textile art.  Textile art is a slow process which I enjoy but I have three more grandchildren to write books for after this one!  I gotta keep this moving.

I like that all my sons and their families came for a barbecue on Sunday!  One son lives 2 hours away and another lives 1 hour away.  It makes it a challenge to get together regularly.  I am so grateful that I have one son who lives in town!

    That's so great to have a get together with all of the family! I hope you'll share the book you're writing for your grandson, too. I'm like you about amusement parks - enjoyed them when I was younger, but not really interested anymore!

    In Japan, amusement parks are VERY popular and usually well-run and maintained. Tokyo Disneyland soon became a great hit and is still attracting record crowds. Now the various Harry Potter-related attractions are drawing crowds like bees to honey.
    I haven't been recently, but wouldn't mind going - if the parks were less crowded!

  LeeAnna  has asked Did you take your lunch and did you use a little brown bag or have a lunch box?  From kindergarten to grade six, I went home every day for lunch.  My school was about a block away and Mom was a stay-at-home mom.  Most kids went home for lunch back then.  I am grateful for that privilege.  In grades 7 and ,8 I had to take the school bus and bring my lunch.  The school closest to home was too full.  When I went to high school, I walked but it was too far away to go home at lunch.  I brought my lunch.  I don't remember what I used but it certainly wasn't a lunch box.  I was way too cool for that by age! It feels good to be getting into the swing of the fall season.  Life was busy over the summer with watching my two granddaughters.  I am finding the time to get some projects finished up.  That feels good.  I am also back to yoga classes more often.  I love that my body is getting stron...

 I love moving something from the unfinished pile to the finished pile.  It feels great.  I saw a quote last week.  It said, "I need to give myself credit for how hard I am trying".  What a terrific idea!  I regularly show up for my creativity and that is a good thing!  I regularly complete projects.  That is also a good thing!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...
