It's a two crane day.
I do love my new journal. The cranes are glued down so that I can open them up and have a 3-D journal. Too fun.
I didn't realize just how messy my handwriting has become since I type almost everything!
Sorry to bury you in posts.
I've been posting and the Internet hasn't been working.
I'm sorry if you get buried in posts.
The cable company is going to have to rewire our building so our Internet will work. In the meantime, I have to go to the library to get online. It's kind of a pain in the neck, but I'm just grateful that the library is so close to me and that it offers free Internet access.
With hope, my posts will be a bit more regular as I get in the habit of going to the library more often. The great thing about the situation is that I remember again just how much I love the library.
I'm starting a new vice today. I'll post about it when I can.
Hugs.

Reading; The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
I found an old friend while browsing at the Friends of the Library used bookstore.
The copy I found for $3.00 is an old book club version. Ray Bradbury (1920 - 2012) wrote it around 1949. Actually he wrote it for many, many years before that and finally pulled all the pieces together into one book.
The book has been printed continuously since 1950. The imagery is amazing. The sand ships still paint the same pictures in my mind they did when I first read this book in high school.
It is so much more than a science fiction book. Have you read it?
And book clubs. The Doubleday Book Club still exists. Wish books weren't quite so expensive. I about choked while wandering the Barnes and Noble bookstore. It's the last physical bookstore that sells new books here. There are only two used bookstores left on Maui. What made me choke? A paperback book for $18.00. I'm sure our Barnes and Noble will close soon. The company is doing horribly and it's just a bad time for bookstores everywhere. My son in Goleta (Santa Barbara, California) has to drive about 30 minutes to get to a bookstore. He's near the University of California. You'd think a "college" town could keep bookstores open, wouldn't you?
