Owlish Occupations

I am not sure what "owlish"* means,
but I promise to look it up before I post this blog.

I found it in this neato book called 'Gregg Shorthand Dictionary'.

It was a gift from Brother Brian & Sister-in-law Susan.

I love it!

I've already copied out some words in shorthand in my other blog (also known as a journal).

It is a beautiful book, with brown leather, embossed lettering, a thicker uneven feeling paper.

It's one of those books that feels authentic, and smells old - in the best way possible.

Did you know about my obsession with smelling books?

I love the smells of smart, musty, papery, adventure.

So many things to take in, in one noisy breath.

*owlish: adjective meaning like an owl, solemn and wise in appearance
