Saturday Centus - It Takes A Mighty Big Chair To

THIS IS A SATURDAY CENTUS POST

              ....and we are live from the chilly side of the lake, where diving is nearly impossible, without a severe headache! 
     If only!  Really this is being staged for Miss (had a horrible-tooth issue Jenny) at Saturday Centus, "Off on my tangent" blog (So sorry hope you're all better SOON) and in her distress, she offers a photo of a chair, "to use or not to use" but her prompt is a must, "The chair dominated the small room" and up to 100 words with it...and more photos if we desire.

Are you game?

From the Capital in St Paul, Minnesota......"The chair dominated the small room....."

At the end of the meeting there were sullen faces and no more coffee.



But who really cares what a silly chairperson has to say?

They can try to pass silly laws......

It's not size or who a person is that really matters.

It's about who we are, inside.

.....and how we make the most of what we've got that truly matters!

WE CAN DO ANYTHING

So how about playing along with us?  If you want to share your own Centus or just read more

Sepia Saturday # 112 Saturday 11 Feb 2012

THIS IS A SEPIA SATURDAY POST

   We had dolls, and dogs, and one might think, dairies this theme.....as I foresee lots of  BOOKS  going on in these posts.

    Thank - you  Linda from the blog, "The Paper Collector"  for her love of books! as her theme!

    Some of my best friends are books!  Really, and please don't ask "What's your favorite book, then?" Because it would be easier to ask what book I like least, or maybe not, I can't even think of a book I haven't liked.....
             

Of course some of you may not wish to spend a leisure day reading when...

Possibly, you'd rather be out on the ice catching fish..... so much time, so little fish catching?




   So if it's books, or just Sepia Saturday that boosts your day go here and view Alan's blog




      Shouldn't he have his eyes on the book?


     If you are anything like me, then you probably have the habit of buying books for more reasons than just a good read, right?

      Instead of a series of people and their books this theme, I 'm sharing a book that was handed down to me from my grandma.......

                                     - THE LADY OF THE LAKE -

                                        A POEM IN SIX CANTOS


                                                          BY



                                      SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART.



                                      with notes and an appendix




                     FROM THE LATEST EDINBURGH EDITION

The description above this photo is what is on the title page, and the photo in the book reads (exactly as printed)  "Come one, come all!  this rock shall fly From its firm base as soon as I."

Then this page follows.......



                                   TO THE MOST NOBLE
                                           JOHN JAMES

                                MARQUIS OF ABERCORN

                                         ETC., ETC., ETC.

                               THIS POEM IS INSCRIBED

                                                    BY

                                          THE AUTHOR



Then the contents page......

Followed by the Introduction page below.....

I find this page very interesting as it states it's the INTRODUCTION To THE LADY OF THE LAKE.  EDITION 1830.

AFTER the success of "Marmion,' I felt inclined to exclaim with Ulysses in the "Odyssey"

One favorite thing for me is to look inside the pages to see what keepsake or forget-me-not thing may hidden inside.  Inside I discovered a golden-reddish clipped lock of curled hair! Maybe a relatives, or ?

I found the  GLOSSARY TO "THE GHAIST'S WARNING."  Very interesting!

In fact the entire book is rewarding......a very good read indeed.
