Memory Garden

A Garden of Memories

My first play time since \”officially retiring\” has been to create a new Memory Game. I didn\’t actually \”create\” the game – I just bought the code and reworked it. So it\’s more design work I guess than anything but it did take me three days to do that!

The old Memory games that I had stopped working and since I rather am partial to memory games I decided I would treat myself and buy a new game code and see what I could do with it. So far I haven\’t figured out how to put a link back to the home page from the game – so that will take a little more brain work.

Here is the \”original\” game – which is fun to play – except I don\’t like the snarky rabbit! I\’m just more into cute but it gives a bit more variety till I get some more made.

Inside Cat

Well, that Buddy did it again. He found the rabbit I rescued and did him in. So we have decided his freedom days are over and he is back to being an inside cat. I am sure we will hear about it for the next few days . . . but he is just going to have to \”Shelter in Place,\” as well as the rest of us.

I Miss the Library

I can read books on my Kindle from the Library so it\’s not a total loss but I do like reading print books the best. I just tried reading a book that Jon liked but it\’s too much action for me. Placid Patty that\’s me.

What I\’m Reading

Well I have at least four books going on at once . . . I know this drives some people crazy but it works well for my distracted mental thinking.

Home by Harlen Coben – Mystery, thriller, lots of violence – but somehow I keep reading it . . . good writing.
Holes by Louis Sachar Children\’s book – love the movie, watched at least 3 times but never read book before. The book is fun! [Overdrive Kindle book]
Becoming by Michelle Obama – Just started. Sort of slow but nice. Not sure if I will get all the way through it before the due date. [Overdrive Kindle book]
Good Habits, Bad Habits by Wendy Wood. Loving it but only reading a few pages at a time. Lots of thinking and reflecting. I could buying this book. [Overdrive Kindle book]
Everybody Writes by Ann Handley – Library book but I still have it because the library is closed. I stopped reading it a couple weeks ago . . . but still might get into it.
How to write a book proposal by Jody Rein with Michael Larsen. Another library book that I stopped reading . . . was thinking about submitting a book to a major publisher but probably not . . . I mean I would have to actually finish a book, right?
The School at Thrush Creek by Miss Read. Book I borrowed from my sister, Barb. Was my mom\’s book so there is some nostalgia there in reading it. But I put it down after a chapter or two and there it sits . . .

Please add \”your\” three gratitude moments in the comments. It\’s a great way to pick up your day and it\’s fun for the rest of us to read!

  1. Finished new game! Zippety do Dah!
  2. Rainy day but we needed it so that is good.
  3. Made a new cookie recipe – yum, yum, yum.

  1. Read on your kindle from Amazon “The in-between years” . By Mary Zenchoff. A former nun’s story of life in a convent. I can see why my friend s left.

    1. I found this bit about the book on Goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36436112-the-in-between-years
      Interesting though I am not really wanting to read such a book right now – the comments about not getting more, “inside thoughts and emotions,” were similar to what my editor said I needed to “include” in my own memoir.

      Which I don’t want to work on now at all – if ever. Just not sure I want to share anymore about yesterdays. . .

  2. Will try the game in a little bit. Buddy will adjust. It is safer for cats to be inside, so many people are not nice to cats.
    I have read 3 books at a time, but that is it.
    Busy doing things in the house…I go to the store every 7 to 9 days and go for a ride every 4 days.

    Blue sky and pretty clouds today.

    1. Buddy is adjusting already, thank goodness. I am always so worried that he won’t be happy but he seems to just shrug it off and continue on. I need to be like that!

      A few minutes ago Jon chased Buddy off of the top of the couch where he likes to sit and sleep. My thought was, Poor Buddy. Buddy’s thought? Oh, well I will just go and sit on Jon’s lap then! Crazy kitty.
