Week 3 : I visit Flickr to explore. (But, there is so much there; I could be a while!).


I found an Eastern Bluebird there. (I have 2 building a nest in my bluebird house in my yard.) Yea, Spring.
****I had to remove the beautiful photo of the bluebird! I looked back at the Flickr "profile" of the photographer and there was a request not to use the photo w/out permission. sigh.
I see that I have to play with html in order to edit something previously posted! A bit challenging!

Week 2 Still Thing 3: Thinking about The 7 1/2 Life-Long Learning Habits

While I could convince myself I do pretty well on each item on the list, in fact, I think I could do better on just about all 7 1/2 ! But, to choose...I choose for "easiest"- being responsible for my own learning, because what other choice is there unless I want to stagnate! (No, thank you!)
And for "hardest", hmmm...well, I had to ask for help with setting up this blog, so I decide that the hardest is using technology! There's always something new to learn and never enough time to master it! As they say, the more you know, the more you know you don't know, right?



****Another good read for historical fiction fans:

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Week 2 Thing 3
Greetings friends! Welcome to my new blog!

If you haven't read the Bloody Jack series yet, you should! I recently read four books in the series, and I am now an enthusiastic fan of L.A. Meyer's seafaring Jacky Faber adventure stories.
