Celebrating today with Ruth Ayres and others who share.
Despite another tough news week, my personal week held nice things to celebrate, and many of them connect to learning and persistence. Here are a few that made me happy.
I spent a good deal of time this morning learning how to create and connect a second Facebook page. The bookstore has a new page and I am one of the people who can post on it. But, I could NOT figure it out, finally, finally after several forays on Google, I did! The above picture is one I took Thursday of a few "new" books in stock and I wanted to share it. If you'd like to see the page, search from your own FB page if you have one, Park Hill Community Bookstore. There have been some past issues, so search from your FB site. If you search on Google, you'll end up with the old page, which is no longer "up" but still can be found. (I can't figure why at all.)
I've been reading lots of non-fiction picture books and learning much about disparate topics, and I enjoy that immensely. It's rather like taking a mini-history or science class.
Imogene is learning to read! Every week she comes to visit, she's made progress. This week, we found this book during our library visit. She knows others by Laura Numeroff in the same format, but this was new. And with some support for 'big' words, she could read it! Guess how she celebrated? She read it again and again, then took it home to practice more!
Ingrid visited earlier in the week in addition to our time on Friday. She gave a short concert of some new things she's learning, including more chords that she says make the music "fancier".
Persisting, learning, trying again, keeping on. That's a good thing no matter what age, right?
Learning - words and music - beautiful. Learning to connect and create - exciting. I'm sure you'll find solutions to the new-old situation, with the help of google or someone who has more experience with web life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support, Terje. It can be daunting and frustrating, but I will carry on!
DeleteI also wrote today about learning...at any age! I remember those days of reading over and over again! since my son also plays the guitar, I have listened to him learn things over and over! What great celebrations.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that we have these connections, Leigh Anne. I'm going over to read your post! Thanks!
DeleteLinda, I cannot believe how mature Ingrid looks. She seems to be delighted with her music and it is thrilling to see Imogene enjoying her reading progress. Have a great week with the girls and at the store.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol, yes, both girls are growing up!
DeleteSmiling with this thought...
DeleteYou know that you have one who's already growing up, too! Each moment is precious!
DeleteYour bookstore has the best selection. I probably should read The Year of No Clutter. :) Love seeing the pics of the girls. Growing and learning and loving to be at Grandma's house!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to clean out some things, but it takes time from other things I'd rather be doing! Thanks, Ramona.
