July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger...March 29/2017 Some people start making or buying Christmas presents in January and by October they're all wrapped and ready to go. Others hit the shops on Christmas Eve, frantically buying presents for everyone. Which are you? Tell us about the best Christmas present you ever gave anyone.   I like to buy presents all year long. I like to mix them in with buying birthday gifts. At the end of the year, I’m ready for any thing. Money and circumstances do not always allow me to accomplish my goals. Some years I am rushing right up to Christmas. If I get the family cared for early it gives us more cash at Christmas to give ourselves some extra gifts. Plus, buying one gift at a time through out the year I spend more per person. I enjoy giving more thoughtful gifts. Sometimes it takes me awhile to decide what to buy. Last year I gave K a desktop computer. He has wanted one for a couple years. One year the children all needed winter coats. I don’t like to give those kinds of gifts at Christmas but I bought each a feather down heavy coat. It was a really cold year. WE had been very poor all year so the coats were a blessing. I know they enjoyed them. Over the years I have been able to give someone something I thought they needed. Each year can be different.
