Reading relaxes me, too. Your reading plan sounds good to me. My lack of proper lenses kept me from reading more books.

I relax by reading- so far this year I've read 62 books. I journal title, author and a couple of sentences about the plot- I average 2 or 3 books a week and always have a hold list at the local library. During Covid closures, I re-read the 20 or so books I have kept in my personal library and what I borrowed from my daughter. Also, reading a few blogs is relaxing to me! I'm not interested in writing my own though. I still cook for myself but I eat leftovers a lot- yesterday I made a small three bean salad and today I'm cooking up a pot of lima beans.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542702981220531365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-55277892797652268302021-06-11T00:44:52.598-07:002021-06-11T00:44:52.598-07:00Anne,

I was telling Tommy that I have seen a woman with a strong light and a magnifying glass, all on a stand, that she used for close hand stitching. I forgot, maybe cross stitch. I think I need that!<br /><br />All three of my children got a dozen pair of underwear when I bought new ones. I was NOT going to be caught short with three children. I think husband (ex now) had lots, too.

I get a lot of thinking and problem solving done on a riding mower. BUT my most relaxing thing is counting cross stitch. Only problem now is my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be so I can’t stay at it as long as I used to. <br />Early in my married life (going on 54 years) I discovered that if I bought tons and tons of underwear and handkerchiefs for my husband he would never run out of clean ones therefore I would never be caught not having any washed up! <br />jpark22https://www.blogger.com/profile/05906968015528839570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221552491406434721.post-84639541747925363562021-06-10T18:40:31.736-07:002021-06-10T18:40:31.736-07:00Angie,
