Puzzles:
Doing a super hard one
we borrowed from a friend,
with VW Buses in all colors
and years. Just finished the
edges and am figuring out
how to go forward& prob-
ably finding similar colors and
putting together each bus to
eventually figure out where it
belongs. After that it9s a puzzle
from Paulina Springs with art-
work by Charley Harper that
I picked up a few weeks ago.
Books:
" <An Indigenous Peoples9
History of the United
States= by Roxanne Dunbar-
Ortiz: Incredibly interesting
insights into the <American
Experience,= by indigenous
people from the time of first-
contact by European explor-
ers and immigrants. This has
given me a new perspective on
our country9s story of growth
and how it impacted the peo-
ple who lived here first. Quite
a departure from the history
I was taught in school in the
1960s and 8709.
" < E v e r y o n e K n o w s
You Go Home= by Natalia
Sylvester: A beautiful story
about a young couple and the
wife9s ability to communicate
with her deceased father-in-
law. It9s a journey of under-
standing, acceptance and
overcoming childhood stories
that block movement towards
happiness and having a loving
relationship.
Music:
Pandora: I9ve created a
Gordon Lightfoot/Bob Seger
station that focuses on great
music and inspiring storytell-
ing. When I9m working I play
their Instrumental Folk station.

On the screen:
" Any of the Harry Potter
movies. Since I was young,
those movies always serve as
8comfort food.9 After being
forced to return from London,
the land of Harry Potter, I need
them now more than ever.
" <The Devil Wears Prada=
4 a fun, lighthearted movie
that was an inspiration for me
becoming a journalist. I never
tire of watching the film to
escape to the fashion world
and what it9s like to be an out-
sider entering that world.
" <Outlander=: A woman
falls through time in the
Highlands of Scotland&
and from there on, the story
contains mystical elements,
romance, beautiful scenery,
historical happenings and it is
truly one of those stories that
you can escape into entirely,
falling through time with
Claire.
Books:
" <Today We Go Home,=
by Kelli Estes: I discov-
ered this book at the Sisters
Festival of Books last year
and completely fell in love
with the story. The book fol-
lows two women characters,
one in modern times in Seattle,
Larkin Bennett, a returning
veteran from Afghanistan, and
Emily Wilson, a rebel soldier
in the Civil War era.
" The <Hunger Games=
series and the <Harry Potter=
series classic YA and beyond
fantastical book series that you
get ensconced in.
" < G o o d n i g h t f r o m
London= by Jennifer Robson:
This book follows a young
journalist, Ruby Sutton, as she
goes to London in the summer
of 1940 getting her big break:
the chance to report on the
European war as a staff writer
for Picture Weekly in London.
The book has romance, sus-
pense, and takes you back in
time to London in World War
II.
Podcasts: I only really
Wednesday, March 25, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon
listen to one 4 <The Health
Code Podcast.= It is produced
by <Sarah9s_day= and Sarah9s
fiancé, Kurt Tilse. They both
are health and fitness gurus and
tailor their podcast to be about
relationships, healthy eating,
and how to live a healthy and
fit lifestyle. I like this podcast
because I relate to Sarah, and
am passionate about health
and fitness myself. I also enjoy
watching Sarah9s YouTube
channel 4 sarah9s_day for
all things fitness, including
filmed workouts, as well as
healthy gluten free, dairy free
and soy free recipes that she
demonstrates.

On the screen:
" <The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe.= This 2005
movie based on a 1950 book
written by C.S. Lewis abounds
with Christian themes, but it
can also be simply enjoyed for
the great fantasy story that it is.
It pits the hero, Aslan the lion,
against the villain, the White
Witch Jadis, and sweeps up a
group of four British siblings
into the battle. By the time
you have met Mr. Tumnus the
faun, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, the
centaur and more fantastical
creatures, you may find your-
self crawling into the back of
a magical wooden wardrobe
to find your own passage to
Narnia.
" < G u a r d i a n s o f t h e
Galaxy.= The best of the
Marvel movies in my mind.
Note the PG-13 rating 4 there
is a bit of mature language here.
" <Inside Out=: The per-
fect family film. The Disney/
Pixar team has always had
a knack for producing mov-
ies that appeal to kids while
also engaging with parents
on a more intellectual or sen-
timental level. They hit this
one out of the park. Producers
consulted with psychologists
to assign animated characters
to emotions and depict some-
thing of human personality and
memory storage in the human
brain. I kid you not, you will
understand more of your own
behavior and emotions after
watching this movie and you
will be left contemplating
which cute little character
dominates the control panel in
your own brain. All this and
your kids will laugh, too.
Books:
" <The Holy Bible=: On
23
a worldwide scale, this is the
best-selling book of all time.
Closer to home, the Bible has
changed my life. When life
was spinning out of control, I
saturated myself in the Word
of God and it humbled me and
gave me a deeper understand-
ing of the God who reveals
Himself in its pages.
" <Oh, the Places You9ll
Go=: Because the author is
Dr. Seuss, you might assume
this is a children9s book, but
then adults would be depriv-
ing themselves of Seussian
wisdom. The book is marketed
as a gift for graduates, but it is
actually encouraging during all
of life9s challenges, even for
those of us that finished school
decades ago.
