Welcome to my weekly update for February 16, 2025! I mentioned last week that my husband and I were relocating for his job, as we do every three to six months.

Welcome to my weekly update for February 9, 2025! My husband finished his work assignment at a hospital near Phoenix at the end of January so we flew home to visit friends and family in Asheville, NC for a week and then flew to visit my in-laws in south Florida for a week. It was nice to see […]

Welcome to my weekly update for January 12, 2025! I hope any of you who are in the Los Angeles area (or your friends and families) are safe and well. Fires are so terrifying. My thoughts are with all those who’ve been affected. Despite my best intentions, I missed posting last week. I admire those […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten books of 2024 this week. As always, most of these were not published in 2024 but I did read them this year. I’ve organized them by my rating but they’re simply in alphabetical order beyond that. I’ve noted if links go to my review; if I […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 29, 2024!
I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful holiday week! My husband had to work too close to the holiday for us to fly out to visit any family so we had a nice, quiet day at home in our RV. He made a crème brûlée French toast casserole for breakfast that was delicious […]
