Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

In response to "Just games"

I've stacked hay bales when I lived in Maine, it wasn't easy. I escape into word searches too!

In response to "Think about it."

Some years back Dune by Frant Herbert struck me as an allegory of some Catholic church doctrines. I was not impressed with that story either. Game of Thrones reminded me of Dune. Both books had their own story. Also seemed to have something else going on inside the story.

Tell me about the Bible being used as a weapon? I read it as a look into passed historical reality.

Muslims, Jews, Christians, women's rights, ageing populations, health issues, insurance prices, and others, all must be the targets.

Nice to know you read what I wrote. Write On.

In response to "Think about it."

I agree with Kåre เลียม Enga

sadly, the Bible is being used as a weapon.

I've never read Game of Thrones or watched the series. I did play Gaby's game here on WDC but didn't know any of the background.

In response to "Think about it."

I never got swept up with GoT. Lord of the Rings? Read it in a weekend (I think) many years ago.

Do books reflect or influence culture? Of course. The Bible is still used as a weapon of war by many Americans.

You did just fine! They weren't easy word choices.

In response to "July Sales"

I love the craft fairs but not shopping in the bigger stores. When I was laid up after my back surgery I watched a few Christmas in July movies on Hallmark.

Clothing is definitely more expensive these days, sales matter.

In response to "Grandma is at home today."

My paternal uncle lived near my grandfather.

My maternal grandmother lived close to family in the hollow.

My father's family tended to live close, even moving together to Oklahoma and South Carolina.

My mother's family scattered.

I wish... but we both know about wishes without wings.

My experience in Thailand was mixed, but I don't doubt that families remain close as friends often do. In Costa Rica it can be multi-generations living in the same area.

And I'm spending a lot of time teaching my granddaughter sewing and crocheting, I love that.

In response to "Grandma is at home today."

I used to spend every summer with my grandfather and I loved it. During the school year I would spend weekends at my other grandparents and I enjoyed that time very much.

As a grandparent my older grandchildren would spend the summer with me. Then in 2021 when my daughter (my youngest) and her boyfriend split she asked for help, so we moved to Vegas. We share a house together, my husband, my daughter, my granddaughter and me. It works for all of us.

In response to "Fixing it."

Yes. I have a ton of things to fix this year and I don't move as fast as I use to. I do expect a very snowy or just cold winter so I wand to be ready.

Just games

Do you like to do word puzzles? What kind?

Hi.

Yes, I do. I worked on some different ones on my kindle for a couple years. I don't presently have any now. Now, I'm doing real puzzles. Both kinds take my mind off whatever I need to dump out of my mind for a few minutes or hours. Word connect, word search, word brain 1&2, word challenge. Also, like mahjong. Now there is something on my kindle called Brain Challenge which has different categories including math.

Really busy now trying to write more and getting things done for winter. I expect a cold heavy winter this year. Hope I'm wrong.

Hay is almost in for the year too. I only watched this year.

Keep on keepin on.
