Current puzzle. Don gave me this House Plants puzzle recently. It was a little surprise because I was feeling down. It’s a lot of fun and rather difficult, to boot!
We’re supposed to get a lot of rain later today and tomorrow – the storm/hurricane that hit Florida is moving up the coast. So far, it’s dry out there, but the rain should arrive around noon. Don has been doing a lot lately and I’ve ordered him to take it easy today. That should be far easier to do if it’s raining.
Mid afternoon yesterday found me searching for a new outfit for Sophie to wear.
This fox sweater was one of the very first things I purchased when I got Sophie. I often forget that it’s there – but that color is perfect for Sophie. I was chatting with Sophie’s creator – CandyFlossRose, who lives in England – on IG yesterday. Turns out Sophie was the very first Blythe that she customized. She apparently had a large collection of original Blythes – too many, she says – so she decided to try customizing one of them to sell. Hence, Sophie. I loved hearing that story. It just makes my first girl even more special.
I’m reading Jussi Adler-Olsen’s newest – The Shadow Murders – and I’m really enjoying it. I got it via our local library system. I am on the waiting list for the newest Anthony Horowitz, which is coming out later this month. And, after writing a note to our neighboring town’s library, I’ve learned I can get a library card there, in addition to the one I already have. I always wondered why we weren’t eligible since we pay hefty school taxes there. It didn’t seem fair. The head of the library wrote me back and said she had brought that very issue up to the board last year and now it’s a done deal. Hurrah! Our neighbor to the north is a university town and has a lovely library.
Okay. Rain on the way. Second cup of coffee. Puzzle fun. Reading.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
