Connie's Corner

Love reading blogs...

One of my favorite things to do on this site is read blogs and comment. I love hearing about other people's lives, but then I guess all writers do. It gives me a warm feeling. Yes, there are certain blogs I follow religiously, but if the first lines on the popup interest me, I click on. And it's even more interesting when the bloggers turn out to be very different in age or background...yet there is still common ground. I love that.

My Jim's brother, who will be 88 in March, had some rather serious surgery this week, repair of an aortic aneurysm. Happily, he came through it fine and is doing well , but of course I was worried. His wife has Alzheimers and Parkinsons and recently went into a nursing home. They were the number one reason we moved to Florida, but now we live about four hours apart. Wish we were closer, but they moved to be near their kids, a good thing.

I finished watching the entire series of Covert Affairs, then I watched The Americans - 2 seasons, the 1st on Amazon Prime and the second on a great site, www.findtv.com. Their third season premieres on January 28th on Fox I think but I don't have tv. In between I watched all of the new Downton Abbey on findtv. Now, I have started watching Justified on Prime. I think I may be watching too much violence...or maybe just watching too much. But I am writing, too, and will post a new story in my memoirs today that I wrote for my critique pod next Tuesday. And I am working through a job description for my writers' group treasurer position. That one is taking some time...and effort .

It's sort of nice today, sunny at least, with a high supposedly near 70. I need to get out in the yard and start cleaning up...

until next time...c
