Daily Notes- September 11th

Reminds me for some reason...of Parcheesi.  A board game my brothers and I played when we were children.  I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with that board game but the name came to mind as I was drawing and painting this.

Law and Order is back.  It goes away on Tuesday.  Makes for a long day for Riley.  I just turned the tv on and he went right to sleep.

Read Thayer's Surfside Sisters.  A Nantucket Romance.  But not really.  More of a coming of age book.  Figuring out how to be an adult.  I found this author quite by accident when I had read thru Devereau and another author who shall remain nameless as I can't remember the name.  I know where her books are located.  She wrote the Shoe Addict books plus about 10 more.  I really liked reading them.  And after that I just walked the library stacks until I got to T.  And found Thayer.

There are quite a few really bad romance authors.

I found my library List Book and I need to update it and keep lists of the books I have been reading. I had been writing on slips of paper and on index cards.  Those are in the wind as they say.  But if I find any I am tucking them into the book.   I have to get more organized. Write things down in one place and not on little scraps of paper that get lost.

Next book up is Scrubland.  Author is Chris Hammer.  No idea what it's about but something on the book jacket got me to take the book home.

It's cold and dark here in Maine this morning.  And still.  I hope the big church in Town will ring the bells today.  I remember them ringing on 9/11.  I remember crying.  I remember the total absence of any sounds that day.  I worked my shift at the library that day.

It seems like Fall is coming too soon.  I feel like it's time to wear socks again and a sweater.
