Not Very Much of Anything

Man, today was a day of dreary semi-cloudy goodness.  The snow is gone and the sky isn’t providing a nice back drop today so what am I to do?  Time was moving on…I had to make a make a run to the store.  I have no pictures from outside at all this time.  I was glancing at my faith suit of armor where I let my solar powered watch rechargeand knew I had to get going.  What do you take pictures of when you’ve run out of subjects?  I was looking at some of my simple yet favorite things around the house.  I love this wicker Baobab tree I bought in Ghana, West Africa that holds my necklaces…the memories, that brings back every time I look at it.  It’s been nearly three years since we went there as a family.  I was able to show my family the place where I first entered the mission field as an eighteen year old…how I treasure that moment.  If I’m not reminiscing these days I’m doing a lot of reading.  Much of my reading is on my Kindle…the original model…it’s the perfect thing you know.  It doesn’t take up the space of all the books in a regular library and the books are cheaper…easily readable and easily held.  Now I’m reading “Agenda 21” to the kids and have several I look forward to that I’ve got to download.  “Killing Lincoln” and “Killing Kennedy”  I’ve heard are really good and I look forward to checking them out soon…I own them on there already but haven’t read them yet.  I also recommend the Michael Vey series…I finished the first and my daughter is lending me the second so I’m reading that too.  You heard right…two books at once…that should keep me busy!  Not to mention a new game I bought that I love:  http://www.ea.com/deadspace/.  Little things are keeping me occupied.  I also bought some music via i-Tunes…the only way to get music if you ask me.  Red is one of my favorite Christian bands now and their new album Release the Panic is really good.  I also bought a song from Josh Grogan’s new album called Brave which is really good.  I think I’ll not be bored for a while!  Lately when we go out our family has a new favorite store.  Have you ever heard of the World Market?  They have stuff from all over the world that’s so awesome…furniture…food…so many things.  They had a whole line of products from the movie “The Life of Pi”  We bought these for Lovely.  It looks so much like the little things I saw when I lived in India years ago.  These are little stuffed elephants and camels on a colorful string tipped with little bells.  Someday I’d love to bring my family to India…it’s one of the few places I haven’t brought them that I traveled and lived in…someday…someday.  Well, I’m about to make like my salamander who barely sticks his head out from underneath his water dish…see him?  I peeked in to say hello…now back under my rock…
