Never will I claim to be the most observant of humans. In fact, my husband of nearly 44 years, Studly Doright, is fond of telling me that I have “awareness issues.” I’d disagree with him if he weren’t so right.
Yesterday I wrote about a woman who, while visiting in my home, thought that when I said that I’d just finished my first novel that I meant I’d just finished reading my first novel.

Okay, I get it. I don’t look all that scholarly, but she was in my home, where literally the first thing one sees upon entering Doright Manor is this:
And this:
Look around a bit and you’d see this:
And this:
And even this:
Oh, and then there are my Star Wars books:
And
Most of my books are on kindle nowadays, but the evidence that I’m a reader is pretty clear. So perhaps I’m not the only one with awareness issues. Maybe we can start a club.
Peace, people.

Listen. You don’t understand chaos until you’ve been in my house locked in for 3 months with the crafty kid. 😂

Haha! Normally our is all placid, but with the water leak fallout we’ve got furniture moved all over the place. The dry wall guy is coming today and tomorrow and then the carpet layers will follow in a week or two. Crafty kid might be a pleasant change for us.

I’d be in it if you allow those of us with selective observational deficiencies. There are some things that I notice and pick up on right way that most of my family doesn’t, but on some of the more common things, and things that it seems every one notices immediately, I’m absolutely oblivious. I blame being behind the camera or with my nose in a book.

I definitely blame having my nose in a book.

That is awesome! Doesn’t it make you feel very observant now? Love your built in booksshelves. We have a built-in but it was built in 1963. Full of books and books and books! 🙂

Before our last move I gave away a whole bunch of books never dreaming I’d have a house with so much space for storing them. But I do have my kindle.

I have my kindle too and I haven’t purchased a touchy feely book in a long time. I can’t get rid of my books. I got rid of hundreds of books over the years. Mostly donated but some I sold in a yard sale for 25 cents. 50 cents if you tried to pay a dime. hehehe!

I love that…”NEED” vs. “WANT”. I’m sure Studley looks at it that way too. 🙂 LOL!

Studly’s wants are much more expensive than mine, and he always considers them needs.
