Mark Your Calendars

Books and friends have gone hand in hand for me since being a founding member of a bookclub back in 1987 which, by the way, is still thriving in Washington, D.C.

Given my love for books and friends, I want to pass the word that the first week of October is "Buy A Friend A Book Week." This event is cool because, as best I can tell, it’s the brainchild of a Mom who started the movement herself online and has taken off via virtual word-of-mouth. So share a book and pass the word.

The second upcoming calendar note is the first Sunday in October – “World Make Your Own Card Day." I’m planning to set aside time that day to create my own cards (a hobby I inherited from my Mother) with South Florida nature photos (see Jim’s blog for samples) to use as hostess gifts during the upcoming holiday season. (Hint: Invite me to your parties!)

As a thank you for following my blog, I’ll send anyone who posts a comment on this blog either a book or a home-made card in October. Just name your choice!
