Why Read
Kindred Spirits,
My husband and I love to camp on the weekends and one particular weekend as we walked through the campground, I noticed that our neighbor was working on putting in patio blocks. I called over to Todd and said ” When you’re done with your patio, can you teach my husband?” He replied, “How about right now, I could use a hand.” Mark and I walked over and the patio lesson began.
As we watched, Todd’s wife Rhonda came over and said “Mary have you seen my fairy garden?” of course I said no and we walked over to her fairy garden and she proceeded totell me that whenever she has to go to Menard’s for a new tool, she gets to buy something for her fairy garden. It was beautiful and so I’ll let you in on a little secret. Everytime my husband makes me go shopping for tools, I seem to sneak in something for my garden. I’ve got years to go before my fairy garden looks anything like Rhonda’s.
She keeps her fairy garden in her gazebo. In her gazebo she has a couch and a coffee table. On her coffee table was a coloring book. She proceeded to show me her coloring book. It was such a weird experience. She was so excited to show me her book, and the pages she colored as if she were a little girl.
She went on to say that adult coloring is the big new thing. I didn’t know that they made coloring books just for adults. I thought huh? I’ve got to check this out. So the next time I was at Walmart I looked for adult coloring books and to my amazement what a selection. I bought one. I bought some markers and needless to say, I’ve become addicted and have spent a small fortune on coloring books.
The thing about coloring books, I do not like to color everything. There are things I really like to color and things I really do not like to color. I have a thing for flowers and mandella’s.
After spending a small fortune on coloring books, I’ve decided to learn to make my own pages
