Wordless | Marcia’s Wordless Blog

For the longest time I’ve wanted to participate in Wordless Wednesday (which is now Wordless every day of the week) but I didn’t want to use The Printed Page which is my dedicated book blog. Then the Ah ha moment. Months ago I set up a separate blog at WordPress.com thinking I might use it as a personal journal. That never happened and the blog languished. So I’ve decided to put it to good use – Marcia’s Wordless Blog. No words, just beautiful artwork that has caught my eye. There will be link to Marcia’s Wordless Blog on TPP sidebar.

Scene of the blog


Today, at Kittling Books, I’m the featured blogger for Cathy’s Scene of the Blog series. So go on over and learn more about me.

If you’re visiting from Kittling Books welcome to The Printed Page. My name is Marcia. The Printed Page is my personal reading journal where its books 24/7. OK so every once in a while I toss in a little somethin’ about the feline lords and ladies of the Larsen manor and the occasional vacation post but mostly it’s about the books!

In loving memory of DD Larsen (9/8/00 to 12/24/09)

L to R: DD with momma Callie

It is with deep sadness that we say to goodbye to a beloved family member. I never imagined I’d be writing my second post like this in as many months. DD started exhibiting the same symptoms as Daisy. While we were uncertain, but had some educated ideas, of what Daisy might have passed from we now know that both contracted Feline Leukemia. We will be testing the rest of the feline family next Tuesday.

DD was the treat & tuna lover in the family. Constantly begging dad to feed him. He is survived by his human parents, his mother Callie and several other feline family members. Sweet boy rest in peace.
