  1. I just put Kristen Hannah’s The Women on hold at my library. I am number 1261 in line. 😮😂
  2. If you want to watch and don’t mind waiting a bit, I’ve found films like this often show up on disc at the library.
  3. That was one of my favorite reads last year! The movie with Cate Blanchett is pretty good but did not do justice to the ending of the book. This looks really interesting, putting it on my library request list. Another heavy topic though, I may have to add a couple of cozy mysteries (or even a bodice ripper ☺️) to my TBR pile to mix things up lol.
  4. Did a reread of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way because a friend wants to discuss it. An old standby for creative types. I also finished a YA novel called this is where it ends by Marieke Nijkamp. It’s the story of a high school shooting as it progresses. The action takes place over 54 minutes, told from four separate perspectives. I will put this in the category of books that some people probably need to read as a wake up call. But it definitely should come with a trigger warning. I would not recommend it to one of my kids I share a lot of books with who has experienced text exchanges with school friends during active shooter lockdowns, or another of my kids who has lost students to gun violence. I’d rather hand it to some acquaintances who don’t believe in common sense gun regulation (i stop there lest I get too political 🤐). I keep saying I’m going to do light reading but keep picking up these angsty and philosophical things instead. Off to look through all the stuff I’ve saved on kindle for some fluffy bedtime reading.
  5. Setting sprays really vary in price! One of my girls swears by one by Bobby Brown, but I buy inexpensive elf brand and it works fine for me. I think a small container is under $5. Agree. Just be sure to tell them how much color you want - more natural or a little more glam. They will use products and techniques that will help you show up better in pics.
  6. Thanks, yes, Hans and 5 sons. It was Organic Valley, not horizons. Glad to see Colleen’s sons appear to be doing well.
  7. Yes Colleen was the wife of the (German, I think?) dairy farmer who sold to Horizons. I forgot Julie may have also been married to a dairy farmer. Same She was the baker. I remember she baked fantastic desserts for restaurants. I don’t recall her opening her own but my memory isn’t exact.
  8. Looks like a Sheila to me. So cute. Take your vitamins and keep running shoes handy, she looks like a breed that wants to be very active. Adorable!
  9. Ok is this the gal who was eating poutine somewhere? And the whole thread about her rabbit trailed into what the heck is poutine anyway and how could anyone like the stuff?
  10. I imagine what she meant is that they waited until the kids were out of school before making a public statement so the kids wouldn’t be inundated by questions and comments from peers and school staff. Our kids were young when my dh got his cancer diagnosis. We waited to tell them until we had a clear picture of what he was dealing with and what a treatment plan would look like. After that we shared basic news with them. We were open to whatever questions they had and answered at levels commensurate with their ability to understand. Info was always shared with a desire to help comfort rather than give them info which led to greater worries, if that makes sense.
  11. Wow. That was not on my radar, I definitely wasn’t thinking cancer. God bless her. What an ordeal for this family. No wonder William appears stressed, a double whammy with both his father and wife getting simultaneous diagnoses.
  12. We also have year-round resident Canada geese here. It’s actually pretty common, many flocks do migrate, but not all.
  13. I see a lot of Canada geese, they are cool in flight but they fly right over honking at dawn (sometimes middle of the night!) either landing or taking off in the lake behind my house. I like to sleep with my bedroom window open so I can hear owls at night, but I do t like being awakened by the geese so I can’t say I love them lol. I am fascinated by snow geese, how high they fly and in such great numbers. @sheryl I bet you’d really love to see a squadron of pelicans. They fly in much more precise formation than geese, truly amazing.
