Yes, that’s what this week is doing–slipping into history. It went by so fast, probably because I was so busy with a couple of projects.
This morning we said goodbye to Shark. Her plans had slipped and she found it convenient to spend another overnight with us. She said that she would be, “latish.”
We were setting the table for supper when she arrived. (She had called ahead.) After the meal and clean-up we sat in the family room and talked well into the night.
This captures the feel of night
Since our friend left for her home, I’ve spent most of my day reading The Fellowship of the Ring. I love the books much better than the movies. That is especially true for the volume, The Hobbit. In print that volume is fairly thin. The tale is fairly simple, but it sets the stage for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I may turn on the TV before going to bed this evening. Or I may not. It’s very easy to get caught up in the story.
And I’m a week late in reading this. I find that my goofy schedule doesn’t lend itself to picking a time of day to read blogs, and so I get behind. I just bought two hiking books to review for my newspaper column. No dragons, but real life quests.
Fortunately, this isn’t an OSFA (one size fits all) world. Real life quests are more interesting than dragon chasing. At times it seems like our real life quests do involve battling dragons.
Do you read books or a Kindle? I love the kindle because when I finish a book, there is a new one a click away. I love that.
My cats like it because I can turn pages with one hand while I pet them with the other.
I read from my Nook HD+. I also use it for other purposes–like Web surfing. The back lighting and adjustable brightness allow me to read for hours each day. With a dead-tree book, I’m only good for a few pages before I have to quit.
I love stories you can get caught up in! I haven’t read those or seen that series either. Not unusual though, I’m usually decades behind on movies, lol #someday 🙂 Glad you had a good visit with your friend.
Those are, indeed, the best kind of stories. The silver screen is too limited for telling a good tale. Okay, it works well for some Sci-Fi, to which I am quite partial.
Slipping into history.
You are in a long memory lane.
Yes, it is long. It is also full of twists and turns, hills and valleys. It is a very interesting lane.
