Good morning ~ welcome to my blog. Here are 5 randoms from my corner of the world.
1 ) Colors ~ High winds, driving rain and the first snow have snatched color from our sky. My photos of Autumn’s glory sustain me.
2 ) Thanksgiving is upon us. We plan to gather with our kids & grands ~ which is ALL I want. Last year, mid-pandemic, I cooked and packed up the food, Hubbs and I dropped off home-made goodness to our boys and their girls, but we couldn’t visit b/c of state rules. We cried all the way home. It was awful, terrible, the worst. This year we will gather the Saturday AFTER the Holiday because that’s a day that works best for all. We are saying YES to a gathering on ANY day ending in Y. My family – that’s all I want for Thanksgiving AND Christmas and any other holiday, too. 
3 ) Sundays are my favorite day of the week. Why? Quiet. Peace. A cozy home. Supper simmering in the crockpot. Laundry tumbling, a walk and then back to my book. Ahhhh
4 ) Amazon Prime benefits ~ did you know that Amazon Music is INCLUDED with Amazon Prime? So many great songs to listen to! You can make a playlist of favorites or sort/find by type. Great for driving, cooking, walking, cleaning the house, relaxing, etc. This morning, while prepping stew, I found the Stamps Quartet Gospel Album. If you’re an Elvis fan like me, you may remember the Stamps provided backup. I recall reading that Elvis relaxed by singing the Gospel songs from the tent revivals of his childhood. Here’s a favorite of mine:
5 ) Speaking of Amazon Prime, another benefit I love is that I can buy a book, read it, and return {free returns} for a credit which, you guessed it, is used for MORE BOOKS. I am a book fiend, with several on the shelf waiting to be read. (see pic below). My job is more than full time and reading is truly a passion, I’m on book #79 for 2021, passing the 65 I read in 2020. Reading brings me so much joy ~ I read every evening and most weekends – with the TV off. Ahhh.
How about you?
- Any plans for Thanksgiving?
- Were you aware of these PRIME benefits?
