Sleeping Positions

I don't think there is any sleeping position known to man... or rather, cat.... that Winky hasn't used at one time or another.  In fact, I think he may have created some new ones!

No More Flitting

Those of you who are familiar with this blog know that for a long time I was flitting from one Book in the Bible to another, in no particular order.  Well, that has changed.  I'm now reading my Bible from cover to cover.  This may not work for everyone, but it works for me.                                             Besides, I can always turn to a favorite passage when I feel like doing so.

 And yes, I still select a reading from one of the Gospels at bedtime.

The First Book I Ever Loved

This past week, I bought on amazon.com a copy of the first book I ever loved.  Of course, it's a picture book...''Baby Farm Animals'' by Garth Williams.   I can see myself now, sprawled on the living-room carpet, looking at the pictures. That's one of my earliest memories.

And I can't BEGIN to count the times I asked to have it read!

Even now, I could read it over and over.  Even now!

Computer Issues

I've been having problems with my computer, which is why I haven't posted lately.  Good thing I dropped my Currently Reading list!
