  1. Every now and then, I love a good rainy day. It’s just what I need, to just slow down and relax at home. The forecast says we may get that day today, but I was hoping to get to the nursery to start my planting today. I smile every time you mention Ivy and those curtain toys!

  2. I am fond of some kinds of rainy days too…the other day a HUGE lightening struck somewhere near…and shook the bldg. That I am not fond of!! Even my son heard it at his house which is about 5 minutes from here. I really loved it when we had a wood burner or fireplace to sit near on those chilly rainy days!!

  3. I have a couple of suggestions for you. Have you listened to Kevin Kern? He is a wonderful pianist. Very soothing.

    I often buy from Better World Books. It’s not the best place for browsing, but if you know the title or author you’re looking for, they often have it at a much discounted rate. Their confirmation emails are hilarious. It’s worth buying from them just for the email.

  4. I love the sound of the rain. In our new house we have 3 skylights, one in the master bedroom( former artist studio) and the sound of the rain going pitter patter makes me smile
    I am happy to know that you are finding joy in your music, your new friends and books. Take care, Elizabeth

  5. I too lived at the library as a child and was thrilled when my parents surprised me with a BOM type club as a teen. I still have those books and treasure them as it was my introduction to having a book sent to me in the mail that was just mine and for me! My mom also did Doubleday book club for years and read so it’s a good childhood memory of bringing home stacks of books I would read as a child and become a book collector as I could afford ones I wanted to buy and pass on some too. I am old fashioned too and love my CD player. It’s another thing I can control that gives me happiness.

  6. I like to listen to the rain in bed at night. For some reason, I find that very soothing. Just a nice steady rain. Yesterday, I tried to reply to your post, but it wouldn’t upload. I don’t know why. You’d asked what we liked to watch on tv. I watched a movie on Netflix called Rescued by Ruby. It was based on a true story about a K-9 dog. I really enjoyed it! I think you will too, if you look it up. I love your stories about Ivy. I can just imagine her running around carrying that curtain in her mouth, lol. She’s too cute!

    1. Hm. I wonder why your comment load? I’m sorry about that. I too love to hear rain at night. Since now I have someone living above me, hard to hear the rain.

    2. I also watched Rescued by Ruby! I was very interested in watching it because it was based on a true story in RI and that is where I am from!

  7. I’m jealous of your rain. We desperately need it. Already have fires going in California. And it’s going to be a hot few days

    Have my eye appt Monday to see about my cataracts. Will be nice to enjoy reading again.

    1. I’ve already had cataract surgery. When I was 61. I haven’t had my eyes checked since and I think I need to do that. I’m straining to read some things.

  8. Favorite piano music – two songs: “Marriage d’Amour” by pianist George Davidson and “Moonlight Sonata” by any competent pianist. They both get me every time, straight to the heart. That photo of Ivy on the sofa – she looks like she is deep in thought, perhaps a little bit melancholy, pondering the weighty issues of the world.

  9. I love this radio when I saw you had it and searched for it! It’s in my Amazon cart, lol, until I can afford it. I too, prefer to listen to music this way.

    1. I think you’ll enjoy it. This is one of the very few products I have purchased that had 4 stars. I always go for four and a half or five. But I took a chance on this and I’ve been very pleased.

      1. Do you happen to have an Amazon credit card? I use that and just pay it off at the end of the month. There are also payment plans on certain items and amounts.

        1. I do! But I’ve had other expenses lately. They all come in waves! Right now, I’m waiting for a substantial amount of points earned first!!! 🙂

  10. Ahhh a rainy day – bliss! I find myself craving rain instead I deal with lots and lots of sunshine. Not complaining just wishing for some rain.
    I’m expecting a new chair for my bedroom today. I am lamenting about whether or not it’s the right chair. I hope I don’t experience buyer’s remorse. It’s a chair and a half because Cooper likes to have space, too. LOL
    We’ll see!
    I have finally learned that happiness is a choice and I am the only one who can make me happy. I live a very quiet and simple life while enjoying things that bring a smile to my face and a song in my heart. Took me a very long time to learn it’s all about me!
    Enjoy your day, Brenda. Do whatever it takes to put a song in your heart. 🙂

    1. My oldest daughter Kendra thrives on the sun, but I prefer rain. I don’t know why, but I love a rainy day!

      1. I find myself craving rain or just a cloudy day. Too much sun for this girl. Ugh!
