Yes Marsgal, tried to tell family about the loss I was feeling over loosing the site where for over 30 years we discussed books and they just did not get it - suggested I just find another group - tried to explain how most other reading groups are much younger participants who not only have a different outlook on life but they had not read the tons of books older readers have read that affect how we digest a book - sorta feel lonely when there is little to no understanding - result, a thought popped into my head - maybe I should start sort of a diary filled with my thoughts on whatever I'm reading and if I can recall an earlier read reference include it. Come to think of it I only recently read a book that the author did just that and as a result I became aware of a few more books. Hmm
Will be alone again this Christmas - as it should be Paul and Sally will drive up to Lubbock to be with their boys - however, Cooper will not be joining them this year in that his work schedule only gives him the one day off and to drive down to Lubbock is 8 hours from Denver - anyhow I am actually excited looking forward to Christmas - I've decided to read as many of the children's books from the series My Book House and maybe finally finish reading the entire 12 books. I'm not even going to attempt to fix any special meal - just sit back and relax with Cocoa or Tea and maybe I'll order a few pfeffernusse or Walker's mincemeat tarts from Amazon to snack on. I'm not even going to put up a lot of decoration - only makes me feel lonely - I've a few wreathes to hang and my collection of sheep - just have an embroidery I did years ago of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in that I gave my nativity to one of the boys - but all the do-dads, elves, and Santa bits I think I'm just going to pack up and have a clear slate for Christmas day and that weekend.

Barb, Good to see you posting here, as well as in Library~Bookshelf. Hoping that Ciaobella, will return as well? Messages have slowed down on all of our discussions, but we hope to keep this site going, as long as possible.

It is a big loss, if you ask me, both Ginny and Senior Net. Is our Jane here the same Jane on Senior Net?
Marilyne, I forgot you said you read the posts on Senior Learn on occasion.
Boxcar Librarian is interesting enough, but it follows three different women, not just one and the time periods of each chapter are different, at least at the beginning. I think the author may be trying to convey the history of how the women came together to support the Boxcar library. It took me a couple of chapters to notice that.
Today would be a very good day to just sit and read. The instructions for my molar extraction say to take a day or two and not get too rambunctious. However, I do have to drive over to the pharmacy and still need to add air to my front tires. I may put off the tires until tomorrow because the weather will be a hair warmer. I'd like to get both done at the same time, but I need the meds now and don't really want to be messing with the tire pump in the morning cold.

Glad you are back Barb. Now all we need is Bella. She hasn't posted here since the middle of October. I guess we three are the only ones left from Senior Learn. Oh, and Tombreader who mostly just "reads the mail" these days. And Callie? I think I remember you posting there too. And Jane!
Remembering long-time online friends no longer with us or no longer posting. Feeling bummed out.
Okay, the molar is out. I will have to make a trip to the pharmacy to pick up meds a little later today.

Good morning
We are at 7° this morning and no new snow...not until tomorrow. Cleaned up the snow yesterday and tidied up areas that I didn't do the day before.Got some baking done and that was enough for the day.
Today is work around home.
Welcome back Barb! Losing loved ones hurts especially if you were close to them. Last Sunday our neighbour passed making it 4 this year that have passed in the neighbourhood.
Jane is busy getting ready for company .
Better get my day started, seems there is not enough hours in the day to get all done that I would like. Or is it because I am slowing down???
Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Welcome back Barb! Good to see you, but sorry to hear about Ginny. I didn't know her personally, but I remember her from way back in Senior Net. I do look into SeniorLearn, although I've never posted there. I always enjoy reading your messages as well as everyone elses. I hope the SL site will be back up again soon?

BarbStAubrey - Welcome back. It's hard when we lose relatives and friends. I'm down to just my eldest son now, who lives here with me. Christmas decorations are now down to a small fiber optic tree inside, and a wreath outside. Also battery operated candles in the front windows.
The changes you see to this site are probably the "Christmas wallpaper". I assume some things moved to fit it in.
