I finally got a pretty good photo of the moon last night, looking out my bedroom window at 8:50 p.m. It is in it’s waxing crescent phase where just a sliver of silver is seen in the dark sky.

Author August Starts Grimm (new challenge)

For Bee’s Challenge:

Author August Starts Grimm 😎

Bee says:

This month I challenge you to share one of your favourite authors every day. As an additional challenge also share a song that connects in some way with that author.

***

I’m not real sure what we’re to do, but I’m doing it my way as the song at the end says. I’m featuring books, and not going into a bio of the authors of the books. They are most all books I have or have had and read at one time or another. Lots are my favorite authors and others I just read one of their books but enjoyed it. 🙂

***

Bee has this fun book/author challenge for the month of August. I have done several blog challenges that were a month long in the past about books. Maybe you’ve seen them? They were quite a few years ago, though so maybe some of you may not have seen them. Anyway, I wrote about the books and authors, and will be re posting these, sort of mix and match, and also try to add a song if I can, or a quote about books. The little mystery box toy chickens will be making an appearance sometimes, too. Hope you enjoy this melange of mixed up posts 🙂

This book is a fun read. It’s called, “All My Life For Sale”, and is by John D. Freyer.

It’s a true story of how the author decided to sell everything he owned, by going on line. He literally sold every item in his house at the time, from large items, down to the very smallest. After all was sold, he began to get invitations from some of the buyers to come visit the things he used to own, and to meet in person who bought them. There are lots of photos in here of his items that he had for sale, along with his funny commentary.

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. ~ George Sand

***

I do have a problem in that I tend to hesitate a lot for different reasons. I’m really bad at making a decision about things, even little things, so I hesitate before committing to anything, I suppose in case it’s the wrong decision. Sometimes I just want to prolong the situation in the hopes it will just go away if I wait long enough. That usually doesn’t happen, though.

And here’s just a little story – and it’s true!

🕮 🕮 🕮 🕮 🕮

I used to deal in skin & bones.

Sounds pretty ominous doesn’t it? But, no…let me explain.

A delivery truck would haul my supply of skin and bones to me, every week.

I’d take the bones, rubbing and creasing the skins to sharp, straight lines. Everyone said I was the best skin and bone wielder…the best at my job.

Well, it needed to be done. The skins needed to fit closely. The bone knife was just the tool for the job.

The skins were tough, and they could take all the handling in their future, too.

So, now I’ve told you a little about my job, I need to get back to work in the library.

***

Note … this is a true story! I used to work in different libraries, and one of my jobs was to take the see-through plastic covers (skins), crease them to fit the books with the bone knife. It was a fun job! 🙂

Now about those ghosts. I’m sure they’re here and I’m not half so alarmed at meeting up with any of them as I am at having to meet the live nuts I have to see every day. ~ Bess Truman …
