Since we were going through my daughter's books, I thought I might as well go through mine. I am terrible about letting go of books, and so when I'm in the mood to do so, it's best to act fast. I already have put two books back on my to read shelf that I had set in the donation pile. I'm so bad.

I was surprised my daughter was willing to part with so many of hers. She has a pretty big library of her own, and it is nice to actually have them all fit on the shelves again. Haha. At least until Christmas. <br /><br />Thank you for your kind thoughts. The month did not get off to a good start unfortunately.

I admit I pulled a couple out and put them back on my shelf a couple days later. Haha. I need to get them out of my house. I am waiting though for my mom's visit as she wants to go through them and see if she wants any . . . <br /><br />I just got word my brother will not be able to make it to see the Nutcracker. Mouse is disappointed, but the timing is hard for he and his wife as they are both teachers. My mom will be there, at least. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting, Kay!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-14984719922764301232018-11-16T16:02:56.256-08:002018-11-16T16:02:56.256-08:00Kathy - It was a rough one.

I really feel for everyone impacted. <br /><br />That is so neat that your daughter was in the Nutcracker all those years! My daughter dreams of playing Clara someday when she's older. I am not sure it will actually happen, but right now it's her dream. :-) Being the Sugar Plum Fairy is a big deal though--so kudos to your daughter!<br /><br />Thank you for visiting, Lark.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-67912774658336842452018-11-12T22:17:27.943-08:002018-11-12T22:17:27.943-08:00I'm glad you and your family are safe, Wendy....I'm glad you and your family are safe, Wendy.

But you have to enjoy the little things. Great job on going through things - that is my job for the next 6-8 months. Sorting/throwing/donating etc. I need to get rid of the things I won't need or use. And reading, I escape into my reading when the world gets too bleak.

The fires sound truly dreadful. So devastating for all the people who have lost family, friends, pets, and homes. My heart goes out to them.<br /><br />I'll probably wait for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms to come on DVD or streaming, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I wish I could see Mouse in her production. My (now adult) child was in the Nutcracker from age 5 right up through 17, Bonbon through Sugar Plum Fairy (though never Clara, to her disappointment.)<br /><br />I hope this week treats you more kindly.
