Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My
posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if
you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.
I don't know if you have ever heard of Wilhelm Busch. Busch was a influential German humorist, painter, poet, and illustrator. You might have heard of "Max and Moritz" for example who inspired "The Katzenjammer Kids".
One of my favorite quotes by Busch is this one.

| I found this rhymed translation for it somewhere years ago, but the source is gone. "One-two-three, in hasty race, time is running, we keep pace." |
It's certainly true, don't you think? Can you believe February is almost over as well?
Ready for the weekend now everyone?
As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.
This week our spotlight is on Reviews From the Stacks.
Jana from Reviews From the Stacks says: "Hello there! I'm Jana, and Reviews From the Stacks is my blog. I started Reviews From the Stacks in 2018 as a place to share reviews of high quality books, especially lesser-known and potentially indie published ones, and to be a place for discussing all kinds of bookishness. I work in a library and have a BA and MLIS, so bookishness seems to follow me everywhere I go!"
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household - The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat's Wire has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.
Rena from Fine Whatever Blog writes about style, midlife, and the "fine whatever" moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she's been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.
Do you need a quick medal? Laura and Laurie have got you covered, not just for the Olympics!
Do you have a book journal? Erin is giving us a glimpse at hers.
Read "The Blue Castle" along with Lisa. Here's the introduction.
Lydia is talking about mirrors.
Let's link up!

ReplyDeletehttps://marshainthemiddle.com/
I totally agree!
DeleteThat's a beautiful quote! The German language can be beautiful. I always love this one: 'Was ich noch zu sagen hätte, dauert eine Zigarette.'
ReplyDelete"... und ein letztes Glas im Steh'n". I always loved Reinhard Mey!
DeleteI am really happy that February is almost over. I have had enough of cold winds and snow! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI really hope spring will be here soon!
DeleteHappy Friday, Cat! I love that quote from Busch. I appreciated the translation but was also excited that my four years of high school German came back to me! LOL! Thank you so much for featuring our "Winter Olympics" post this week. What a treat! We always appreciate the encouragement and support you offer here. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, now you said it, I'll have to add more German quotes for you, hehe!
DeleteYou are welcome. Have a lovely weekend!
Cat,

You are welcome, Deb, have a great weekend!
DeleteErin's book journaling looks so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI think if you are a person enjoying reading, journaling and scrapbooking, book journaling must be the perfect mix!
DeleteLove the inspiration from the links above, thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, thanks for linking up with us!
DeleteI can not believe February is almost over, no! It's flown by. I know it's a short month, but still!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mention!
Yes, the February went by extremely fast. On the other hand that means spring soon, also for you, I hope!
DeleteYes, that quote is certainly true, but I for one am happy February is almost over.
ReplyDeleteReady for spring?
DeleteIt's so nice to learn more about the women behind this link-up. I always enjoy meeting new bloggers, even in a different time zone. And yes, it's unbelievable that February is almost over already. How time flies.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, we have the way to get posts translated now even if the translation is quite horrible. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to read most posts linked up at Huisvlijt. Being German, I keep thinking I should understand more of the originals. I'm trying!
DeleteThank you for stopping by!
For some reason, February typically drags for me. I think it’s because there’s still a lot of cold, gloomy weather when I’m ready for Spring. Fortunately, we have now had several sunny days in row and have been able to catch up laundry and get out and walk on the beach.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that the sun is back for you! It's back here today as well, but it got a little too warm too quickly for me.
