Flowers for Tina and The Rifters
These are my flowers for Remembering Tina Downey. I couldn’t find any real sunflowers, so made this little arrangement for her. Tina was a really sweet person, full of spunk and life. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

Don’t Rely on Facebook and No-So-Accidental Hop
One trend I’ve noticed is relying on just one form of social media to carry news, namely Facebook. This past summer was my 30th high school reunion. For the 20th, they sent out emails and tried to contact everyone. This year, there were no emails, only a Facebook page. Which I never saw. Thus I didn’t find out about it until a week after it happened.
My husband’s classmates also set up a Facebook page. He’s not on Facebook, but the day the announcement went up, he got three emails about the r...

Total Boox - Pay-As-You-Read Ebooks
There is a new ebook distributor on the market, Total Boox. Only instead of charging you full price to download a book, you pay as you read. From Book Business Magazine:
“For example, if you'll read 5% of the book (from any part of the book), you'll be charged 5% of the price. Moreover, you'll own that 5%. So it is not merely a pay-as-you-read model, but an own-as-you-read one. You gradually own a larger portion of the book, and if you read the whole book you have paid the full price and you o...
