Around the House

Regrouping. Rethinking. Pondering.

Did you notice that September is almost over?

I love to sit back and contemplate my latest discoveries. There’s nothing like having a good cup of coffee (or large glass of iced tea) while enjoying a moment or ten when I can think about whatever has caught my attention.

Lately such sessions have been about discovering a YouTube channel that has captivated me enough to not only subscribe but send a note telling the presenter that she’s inspired me. That doesn’t happen often!

Then there is the return of Harry Potter to my reading table. I started reading the books when the second was just in the stores, so that would be roughly 1998. When the audio versions were released I was ecstatic; Jim Dale did an amazing job bringing Harry & Company to life. Over the years I have found myself returning to Hogwarts often but not annually. As Stephen Fry’s audio version of the books is now available in the US, I have been enjoying them once again, with a slightly different tone. I think of it as if (with apologies to Mr. Dale & Fry) Grandpa started reading the same books as Dad. I love both versions.

Then there was the rediscovery of the collection of interviews of various people by the Television Academy (Foundation Interviews). As a person who enjoys learning more about television and film, these interviews have been not only interesting but fun. I know some folks would be bored silly but <shrug>.

Once again I am contemplating returning to quilting and doing more hand made cards. There is no lack of ideas or time, that’s for certain. LOL!

Heading into the cooler months tends to open up opportunities to do things we don’t have time, or inclination, for during the warmer months.

What are you contemplating?
