I suppose you could say that I have a mini-celebration any day that my children and/or grandchildren stop by for a chat. It happens often enough that it is not a shock to my system, and I like to make them aware that I appreciate their attentiveness to me.
Since I don't have any children and my sister's kids are pretty well grown, back to school for me means busy days at work. I manage a retail store and the sale days can be pretty hectic!
I am a re-reader, and have several books that I have read multiple times. But I am actively trying to decrease the number on my shelves because I am totally overwhelmed with books that I have never read. I keep telling myself that I can probably find them in the library or on used book sites if I find myself wanting one of them again, but keeping books is a really hard habit to break!
