It's All Random

1.  We're at the tail end of National Ice Cream Month.  And it's not too late for a small chocolate Blizzard with extra Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.  And no, Dairy Queen's not paying me to write this.

2.  I'm not on Facebook.  Never have been.  Probably never will.  Please tell me I'm not the only one.

3.  I've read 18 books so far this year.  Favorites?  Necessary EndingsMary Todd LincolnThe End of Your Life Book ClubWashed and Waiting

4.  Whoever invented the junk mail filter is a saint.  I'm just not interested in questionable investing schemes, starting a career as a mystery shopper, making my first million in 53 days, or purchasing medical supplies from far across the sea.  Don't call us.  We'll call you.

5.  It's never too late to be a newbie.  Like jumping into Nancy's Random 5 Friday for the first time.  'Cause sometimes you've just gotta shake your blogging up just a wee bit ...

  2. Welcome to the 5! It's a good thing it's National ice cream month ... I've eaten enough of it to celebrate! ;) It's also national hot dog month ... I admit to eating one on the 4th of July. I always enjoy seeing what other folks are reading.

  3. I'm a newbie with the Random 5 too! "The End of your life book club" is one of the next ones on my to-read list - hopefully I'll be able to get it from the library soon.

  4. Hi Linda...LOVE your sea glass collection...so pretty. I wonder how long it took you to amass all those pieces...

    YAY! We all scream for ice cream!! At Longings End we celebrated Ice Cream Month by presenting the first ever Top Banana Award for the Ultimate Banana Split 2013...to a place up in Gloucester, MA. The story ran on the blog Thursday.

    We had a lot of fun on our UBS Quest...and are starting up again. So, Linda, if you have any suggestions of really great ice cream places near or far, please leave a comment on my blog.

    Thanks and hope to see you all soon. xxoo

    1. Hey Friends - check out Sheila and Michael's blog ... one of the few I know of that are written by a husband/wife team! Click on her name to head right on over there!

      And the sea glass? Been collecting for years every time I walk an ocean shore ... the best things in life truly are free!

      And the ice cream? If you're ever near Red Hook, New York, you MUST go to HOLY COW for yummy frozen goodies.

  5. Wish I could respond on your blog, but there's no place to click. Anyway, wanted to say "join the club". I, too, am not on Facebook and do not plan to ever be. I've learned to never say never, though. And I've found out the hard way that plans can change.

    1. Looks like the blog was getting glitchy on you! So sorry that little red comment link wasn't showing up. Emailing comments works out well on this end, dear readers ... never hesitate!

  6. I am on FB but I'd started when my son was in Iraq...so that he could see plenty of baby pics and videos of his son, my first grandson. How people keep up ( Blog Wise ) with FB, Twitter, Google + and whatever else is out there is beyond me, though! :)

    1. Every hour we say 'yes' to our screens, we say 'no' to our real life peoples ... good food for thought. I love that you stopped in today, Debra!

  7. I'm on Facebook, but basically, it's to keep up with family and friends. I don't spend much time there any more. I said farewell to ice cream a couple years ago, when soft-serve frozen yogurt came to town. The scale is nicer to me now.

    1. mmm ... I wonder if I could make that switch from ice cream to frozen yogurt?! My scale would be delighted ...

  8. I have a love/hate relationship with FB. But it's kinda my blog's alter ego and I feel a bit more free-er to be silly or more serious on there. Don't spend much time on it though.

    Thanks so much for joining in @ R5F. xo

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...

Linda
