Healthy Writer Day Again and Borders

1st Saturday in March and I'm blogging over at Healthy Writer about great recipes and reasons for eating cabbage!

In other news... I just visited the Borders at 100 Wall Street, probably for the last time since that store is closing. So sad. :(

Over break last week I was cleaning out a cabinet and came across an old writing journal. I had this entry -  "June 12, 2003 - Borders opened today."

The entry goes on to wonder about possibly seeing my books on the shelf there. That won't happen now, but that's a minor point. I love the diversity of books at this store; there's such a fabulous selection. I felt very sad shopping there today - such a different feeling from the last time I was there which was the day before the closing was announced.

  1. I just had cabbage last night as a side dish at dinner. I always enjoy it, but don't seem to have it enough!

    Very sad about Borders, I'll be sorry to see them go, too.

  2. I visited my Border's for the last time too! I was moved to tears. I'm such a geek.

  3. Love cabbage...my eastern European heritage.

    Also love the sea...particularly the Atlantic.

    Sad about Borders.

  4. These bookstore closings are sad, and I worry about what they will mean for us in the future.

    Cabbage, eh? Have you ever tried kale? We eat it once a week.

  6. We've seen signs for Borders in other locations closing too. It is a bit sad...

    Wanted to respond to your comment over at Life Lessons:Thanks for stopping by! What a great idea to have a cake delivered - I may have to borrow that idea next year!

    A definite blessing to see our girls growing in the things of the Lord! An answer to prayer! Have a beautiful week. Hugs and blessings!
