Well, let’s see. What is going on in my fantastically active life?

The topsy turvey tomato is still barely hanging on. I don’t think it is going to survive. Next year I will put flowers in that contraption.
However, the Incredible Moving Tomato-in-the-pot has moved again into a place where it gets more sunshine and it doing VERY well. Photograph later, I think.
We are having company this weekend. Hence I am motivated to clean up a bit.
Having said that, I actually have been trying to keep up with the kitchen and bathroom anyway.
Amazon still sucks up my money and spits out books for my Kindle For me this device is worth every penny Fred paid for it.
I took the Kindle to the book club meeting on Tuesday {because Travels with a Donkey was on it} and it was greeted with much interest. We have one member, Therese, who can only read large-print books, and she found that she could read the largest font on the Kindle easily. However she said doubtfully that she didn’t think she could learn to use it…
Amazon doesn’t have a Kindle edition of Rebecca or Frenchman’s Creek both by by Daphne du Maurier so I will try one of the other ebook sites. A lot of them have Kindle formatted books. However, I prefer Amazon because the books go straight to my Kindle. If I buy from another site, I have to download the ebook files to my computer, hook up the Kindle to the computer and then transfer the files to the Kindle. It is doable but not as easy.
OK, I am off to drink my coffee outside and to read…
Oh, I found another quotation that jumped out at me and demanded my attention– the one by Shelley below…

QUOTATIONS:

"Step by step. I can’t think of any other way of accomplishing anything." Michael Jordan

"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English poet

However can we weep for the future, and fear the past? Just wondering…dan

” The Incredible Moving Tomato”. LOL Ours are doing great too and we have many, many green ones on them. Can’t wait until the first ripe one come is!! Mmmmm!!! Hugs, M

I love the Shelley quote! I’m sorry that your upside down tomato plant isn’t doing well, but I’m glad that you are telling about it on here. I don’t think I’ll get one. It seemed like such a neat idea though. I think that the Kindle is such a cool device and I hope the price drops on it. I’d love to have it, but I’m not willing to part with the funds to do it.

I haven’t succumbed to Amazon yet…as in ordering anything from it. A good thing I think.

Love that last quote. I think if I had a Kindle, I’d never get ANYTHING done. LOL

As far as I could find out on Google, The Virago Press of UK owns rights to Daphne du Maurier’s books, and being a very small company, it hasn’t entered the electronic age yet. Their URL is: http://www.virago.co.uk.

I kept seeing you write that you loved your Kindle in your OD (when I was catching up recently). I couldn’t figure out what a “Kindle” was for the life of me. Then I googled it and Wow..it’s a nifty little thing. I watched the video..that guy makes it look so easy. I don’t read as much as you, so it wouldn’t be a good investment for me just now..HOWEVER…I do see more reading in the future….and a Kindle is definitely the way to go. No clutter, keeps your place, etc. It just looks FUN.

My Mom has two Topsy Turvy tomatoes that are growing like CRAZY – and she just ordered one more!! I wonder what the difference is?

I can certainly sympathize with your comment about Amazon regularly sucking up money. You would think that they had du Maurier’s books on Kindle, it isn’t exactly as if they were unknown…

Now that you have pointed out to me that I, too, have a kindle (of kittens)….I’ve been wondering if my kindle would like to have some books read to it too? :o) !! I rather enjoy reading about your leisurely summer and the saga of your tomato plants! hugs, Weesprite

All Cats Rule

I like that quote. Its very true. And I noticed that I’m finally able to comprehend and remember things I read. Its wonderful to read again. 🙂

Love the quote!! The kindle sounds so neat! I bet Therese could figure it out. It’s like anything else… SO HARD at first, but then when you get the swing of it it’s nothing. 🙂
