… These are – with the exception of Begin Again by Eddie Glaude – two of the books I bought last Saturday at Barnes & Noble; the other is Roller Skates which had to be ordered and has now arrived. I guess I’ll make a quick trip tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. Roller Skates is a children’s book- one of my childhood faves – set in NYC. I enjoyed fantasizing about skating up n’ down the streets of NYC… Just thought a little trio back in time might be a pleasant antidote during these times of Covid -19.
… I am slowly reviving two knitting projects : the second sock is on the needles and I decided to do both toes at the same time. The other, Diamonds are Forever afghan, is going to receive some TLC beginning next week.
… I think I need a new chair for my computer – one that allows me to adjust the height for sitting when I’m at the “stand-up” – counter height computer desk as well as the “sit down” positions. Counter intuitive? Does such exist? Google search in order…
… I’m not really happy with the new block editor Word Press launched …I resisted using during the trial period- guess it’s just my mind rebelling…perhaps in due time I’ll change my mind. Always hard to teach an old horse new tricks . <smile>
Joining Kat and friends. Gotta have a quick dinner…have a Zoom session at 7 PM, EST.
Cheers~
I’ve been looking forward to this photo! I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn years ago–probably time for a reread. The other two are already on my TBR list!

I have A Tree Grows in Brooklyn on my list too. And I have a chair that adjust for desk or sewing machine height but when I had my standing desk, it didn’t go that high.

Several people seem to be reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn lately. I read it as a kid, but it’s been years and I don’t remember much about it — perhaps it’s time for a reread!

I am on the wait list for A Tree… I hope it is not long! (and there is a plugin/widget that will fix the new editor… search Classic Editor and install and voila! Back to normal!!)

blogger switched up some stuff and they seem to have their hiccups ironed out. I do like the new format over all though. I loved Tree book and have read it many many times.

A stack of books is a treat. I have been pondering what to put on my fall reading list. I am off to look up Roller Skates. I have not heard of it but zooming around on the sidewalks of NYC sounds like fun. Good luck finding just the right chair. The right chair makes a big difference for backs and shoulders. (and probably some other body parts as well)
