T stands for Tote

-

 I love my Christmas book tote present. It’s already made several trips back and forth to the library.

Just returned 
Wintering by Katherine May

I haven’t used Goodreads in a few years and I have lost track of what books I have read. I may get back into keeping a list on good reads, but in the meantime Fiona gave me a little surprise.
Going old school with my reading log...
I love it!
My word of the year
Challenge

Reading won’t be a challenge, and I will keep track of it with the logbook. I have been thinking about what I read last year, and picking my 20 favorites of 2020.  I have concluded chick lit light needs a boost, because it’s definitely a mood boost! So that’s one of my challenges for 2021, and a fun one at that!
Cocoa bomb
A cocoa bomb tonight
...and a good book.

    I am old school keeping my reading lists. I like it as it is easy to go back to see what I read for the last few years. And nice tote. Hope it was a nice T day Nan. It was great to see the sun and have it a tad bit warmer too. Hugs-Erika

    I also record what I have read. I record my books in a little book I bought especially. It works a bit like an old fashioned address book, with an alphabetical order of Author. I write the date and the title and what the book is about. I also give it stars (one to five).
    Your cocoa bomb look very delicious. I wonder what's inside....
    Happy (belated) T-Day,
    Lisca

    I was by earlier yesterday evening, then got called away before I could leave a comment. I also had a ton of paperwork I was trying to get out yesterday, which sucked up my time. I was late getting my T post up and now, sadly, I'm even later playing host. I'm very sorry I'm late visiting.

    You are SO lucky. All the libraries in my city have been closed for months and months. A trip to the library would make my day. I think your tote is perfect for YOU, since you love to read so much.

    Your word of the year is perfect and so appropriate. Even more, I love how you displayed it with your signature calligraphy and beautiful wreath.

    Wow, a cocoa bomb looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing your new tote, your word of the year, and your cocoa bomb with us for T this Tuesday, which is now Wednesday.

    Love your tote. The thought of reading books and eating a cocoa bomb sounds like the best way to spend down time. Yum!
    Happy Belated Tea Day,
    Kate

    That is a perfect sentiment for a library tote! I am re-reading The Hiding Place right now. Wish I could have a cocoa bomb to go along with it. Happy T Day.

    Very cool book tote. Maybe you'd like to share your top 20 list with us. I like chick lit light too.

    Happy T-day! Stay safe and well. Hugs, Eileen

    I've been keeping track of what I read online for quite a few years. I started out with Shelfari, and when that folded, moved everything over to Goodreads. I love setting a challenge there, because they keep track of how I'm doing as the year goes along. I'd love to her what you think of Wintering. It's been on hold for me for quite awhile, and by the looks of things, I won't be seeing it anytime soon. Love the tote bag! I've been using curbside pickup for most of my library transactions since they reopened.

    I wish I had thought to keep a record of the books I have read. I have made a start though. Our library closed down two years ago but not to worry - I'm reading books I bought way back and didn't have time to read! Your Cocoa bomb looks tasty! A very belated Happy T day! Chrisx

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water featur...
