Day Three Hundred and Nineteen
Does anyone but me ever make themselves sound a little better than they are? No? Just me then.
I go to a local coffeehouse Saturday mornings (because my husband is awesomely sweet and helpful) and there is an older (70-ish) gentleman that is there every Saturday at the same time I am. He has spoken to me a few times and finds my reading project interesting, and this week I claimed to have an international audience for my writing…so thanks to the three or four of you from around the world, I sounded super-cool. Thank you.
Of course, then he went on to ask me if I had a sister because he was looking for a woman. Umm…40 year age difference may not creep him out but it sure did me! I actually told him that none of my three sisters were that old! I’m not sure he was pleased. I don’t really care.
I started Tom Sawyer and was incredibly refreshed! The best books have an comfort to them. They challenge (well, not Tom) and soothe and satisfy. I’m happy. I love reading and only have 25 books left in my list! Yay for me!
