What Have I Been Doing?

There have been poetry events that I did and did not attended; I had breakfast with some of my high school classmates; went to a CAPA meeting and they have so much good stuff coming up for members I joined. Hadn’t planned on joining so soon, but it seemed beneficial to join now.

For Sale

My house is still for sale. It’s been on the market 2 ½ months now. I just had a showing after almost three weeks of no action. Right now the market is dead…it’s the holidays. The tax credit has been extended, so when January rolls around I expect things will pick up. The condo where I’m supposed to live probably hasn’t come on the market yet, otherwise I’d have had a solid offer by now. Once where I’m supposed to go is available, my house will sell.

Olde Mystic Village

AND the best day of all was this past Sunday when my friend Liz and I went to Olde Mystic Village to get psychic readings at Mystical Elements (Building 8J). Jess and Matt met us for lunch which we had at a great little place, Bleu Squid, (Building 12D) that’s a bakery, artisanal cheese shop and grilled cheese cafe, homemade soups and salads. After lunch we walked around and visited a few shops before Matt had to leave us. We took pictures posing with Hissy’s behind. Matt is responsible for getting Hissy's name pasted on her back side. Matt, you are a sweetie!

That left Liz, Jess and me on our own to walk a few more shops. Then it was off to Niantic to visit the Book Barn. I had never been there before and the experience was overwhelming! I found the little nook where the poetry books were located and had to walk away. There were too many books in too small a space.

Jess lit out for her idea of more interesting stuff, while Liz and I found the Arthurian section. Everything is relative. I bought 4 books I hadn’t planned on buying and Liz bought one.

My four books:
“Arthur’s Britain” and “Was this Camelot? Excavations at Cadbury Castle 1966-70” by Leslie Alcock.
“The Discovery of King Arthur” by Geoffrey Ashe
“Pendragon, the definitive account of the origins of Arthur” by Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd.

Before these latest purchases I’ve been reading six books…three of which are poetry. I don’t have time to read what I already have, so, of course, I bought four more! ☺☺

A day on the shore with a friend and a granddaughter. It doesn’t get any more special than that!

Tree Foam and Orbs

Look at these pictures. I took them on Nov. 15th because of the foam. We had a heavy rain and that’s when the foam appeared. I thought maybe maple sap. I’d never seen anything like it before. Today, after a heavy rain, I saw the same foam at the end of a down spout extender. Can’t be maple sap. What is it?

But the kicker is the orbs. Look at them! Click on each picture to enlarge. Talk about a bonus! I took five pictures and only one didn't have orbs.

Joe is Home

My grandson, Joe, is home for the month of November. He graduated from Parris Island on Nov. 5th. We are having Thanksgiving dinner at the local firehouse to accommodate all the family members. That’s going to be some Thanksgiving dinner!
