Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Well yes, there is something I keep putting off. Cleaning out my walk in closet’s closet. I know it’s going to take me hours to remove everything, sort into keep, giveaway . Fold,rehang, stack, sort. This closet is used as a catch-all for not just my clothes but extra blankets and pillows,purses, Christmas wrapping paper…….. Yeah you get the picture. I dread going through it all but really need to, eventually 🥱🤣

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I’ve recently started eating stir fry more often. I’ll usually cook pasta or brown rice separately then add my stir fry ingredients which are varied each time. These are some of the ingredients I add, being a vegetarian there is no meat added. Broccoli,sugar snap peas, fresh green beans, avocado, tofu this makes its way into all of my stir fries, tomato, mushrooms, colorful bell peppers, no hot pepper for me. After I stir fry the ingredients I’ll mix it with the rice or pasta or top a baked potato with it. Delicious! No meat added and nice and filling!

Write about your first computer.

My first computer was a Dell laptop. And boy was it a hassle getting through to customer service for AOL.

What do you complain about the most?

I really don’t like to complain as I’m so grateful for what I have and am able to do. When I do complain my biggest complaint is about not having enough time to read.

I am still raising kids and though some are still teenagers some are in their twenties and still living at home . It’s hard for adult children to leave home now because of the astronomical cost of housing, utilities groceries and everything else. This makes it unfair on the parents and children alike as you don’t really have the responsibility of adulthood until you’re gone and handling things out on your own.

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I’m just going to come out and say it. 😛I don’t care about sports. As far as I’m concerned they could dismantle the teams and it wouldn’t affect me.

My son played hockey when he was younger and I enjoyed watching him play but other than that, nah no interest.

Now as far as playing I played basketball, football, baseball, dodgeball and kickball with the kids. Great fun!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I were a lottery winner I would run a cat sanctuary. It would provide loving care (medical and general) for homeless ferals, abused and abandoned cats. They all deserve a chance. ❤️🐾😻

What books do you want to read?

The better question is what do I not want to read ❓❓❓❓❔❔❔

As a life long reader, my mother put books 📚📚📚 in my crib as a baby and I was hooked. From picture books and I remember how sad I was when my books no longer had pictures to worded books I devour books. I am whittling away at my netgalley books . My backlist goes back to 2021 and I joined in 2017. My goal last year was to read all my 2021 books but failed. Those newer books kind of caught my attention instead, sigh. I’ll attempt this year to do it. I read a lot of genres but have no interest in sci fi. I did say that about fantasy as well but did find a few of those I enjoyed. I also have physical books on my library shelf at home. I have a lovely library in my home but have too many netgalley books to properly utilize it. Sadly those books can just sit there but netgalley books, they kind of want you to read them.

I also do blog tours and work with multiple book tour groups. I’ve been cutting back on signing up for those recently as well this year. There’s a lot of pressure reading for blog tours and posting. I want to do more reading of books of my choosing , not having to read a certain book by a certain day and post on a certain dsy. I enjoy most of the blog tour books I read but it can be draining. For blog tours you usually sign up for them several months in advance but at times you don’t get the book right away and more than once I’ve found myself reading the book for it the day /night before I have to post. My resolution this year is more relaxation reading of my choice when I want to read it.

To sum it up, I want to read what I want when I want and I don’t think that’s too much to ask. And I want my cats right there with me while I’m reading.📚😻🐾❤️📚

Thanks for stopping in today 😃

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

I live in Fort Loudon, Pennsylvania which is in the United States. It’s an unincorporated village. Very small and very old. We have one of the oldest post offices in continuous use in Pennsylvania opening in 1814. This area used to be called Loudon but was changed to Fort Loudon in 1883.

And here is our post office. Notice the spelling of Fort Loudon on the building. The fort has it spelled the old way.

List five things you do for fun.

Your idea of fun and mine may vary.

Some of the things I enjoy doing for fun are

Going to yard sales

Visiting museums and historical houses

Reading, relaxing and drinking tea by myself or with my husband who enjoys reading as much as I do but he won’t touch tea.

Walking and exercising

Visiting and spending time with family

Doing a word puzzle, playing games on my phone and playing hidden objects on my computer

Having my mind challenged and learning something

Blogging

Enjoying nature and watching the birds at my feeders. I have a cardinal couple that lives in our tree and they are such a joy to watch. They really love the safflower seeds I put out. They won’t eat the regular seeds I put out.

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

If I could un-invent something I would choose to un-invent video games consoles.
