For our prompts today we have Favorite Hobby and Family. I have a lot of hobbies that I enjoy. Reading is one. The new Pop Sugar Reading Challenge just came out and I am excited to do that. I failed this year, reading only 17 books out of the 40 that I had set for my goal. You’d think I’d have been able to read more with the pandemic but no. I did cross off some of my poster pieces though. Pride and Prejudice, The Scarlet Letter, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Lord of the Flies and Great Expectations. I have the intention of reading Anna Karenina, Gone With the Wind and The Great Gatsby next year.
I’d have to say coloring is another hobby. I did do a lot of that because I can watch TV with the hubs while I’m doing it. Can’t really read and watch a movie. Here are some of my latest for the Escapist Coloring Club.
I think blogging might be a hobby. I might have wanted to be a writer and this is a way to do that on my own terms. I also like the interaction with the friendly people I meet (yes, that’s you if you’re reading this).
Participating in challenges might be a hobby too, to be honest. I’ve been doing the One Second Everyday video thing this year and am looking forward to the end result when I can see the whole year flash before my eyes. I have to start thinking about what to do for the A to Z this year too! Do you have your theme yet?
And for the other prompt, Family, well, I have to say that I am grateful that my family puts up with all my hobbies!
How about you? Favorite hobbies? Special family? Share!

Hi, Janet!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading and then studying and discussing The Scarlet Letter, Huck Finn, Lord of the Flies and Great Expectations in my high school English literature classes. For years I have wanted to read The Great Gatsby but haven't gotten around to it.
I admire the latest examples of your coloring. Exotic animals, butterflies and lush foliage are elements that please my sensibilities.
My A to Z theme this year will be the same as every other year. While not taking part in it myself, I will do my best to support loyal friends in their challenges. For me, blogging evolved from years of scrapbooking. Blogging is a creative outlet. In my younger years I loved to host parties and entertain friends. Blogging allows me to do that in a different manner, and it affords me the opportunity to expand my reach to new friends like you who live clear across the country. Mrs. Shady and I are art lovers and visit galleries and exhibits several times in a normal year, this year being an exception.
I hope your week is going splendidly, dear friend Janet. I'll be seeing you again soon!
Hi Shady! I, too, read a lot of those books in high school but that was ever so long ago and, since i got the scratch off poster for Christmas last year I promised my daughter that I would re-read the books rather than just crossing them off. In truth, I kind of enjoyed them the second time around when I didn't feel the pressure of having to write a report about them - LOL. As one of your loyal friends, I appreciate your support in the A to Z and the rest of the year.
