Welcome to my weekly blog update for February 7, 2016! We’ve had a good week here. The weeknights were pretty low-key and yesterday we went to a local RV show and spent tons of our imaginary money. 🙂 That’s the best kind to spend, right? We were just dreaming. Last night we went to see […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 1, 2016! Our snow from last week is mostly gone so life is back to normal. I know some of you have a big snow storm heading your way now, so stay safe and warm! My mom’s birthday was on Wednesday and my dad’s is coming up on […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 25, 2016! I hope those of you affected by winter storm Jonas made it through in good shape! We got about 6″ off of it, which is a pretty good amount for us. The office was closed on Friday so I was able to stay home and read […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 18, 2016! I’ve dropped off for a couple of weeks again, but there hasn’t been too much to report on the book front anyway. It was my turn to download a brick of an audiobook that I’ve been waiting for at the library just after I started reading […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 4, 2016! I hope everyone had a safe, fun New Year! We took it pretty easy and just went out to eat on New Year’s Eve, watched a movie (The Gay Divorcee, an old Astaire/Rogers musical), then watched the ball drop. The rest of the weekend we mostly […]
My top ten books read in 2015. I looked back at my top ten of 2014 and see that I wrote that it was just an average year. I’m happy to report that this year was better. These weren’t necessarily published in 2015 (and probably weren’t since I mostly read from my own library of older books) and I’ve tried to avoid listing […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 28, 2015! I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Christmas and everyone else had a great week! Did you get some goodies? I got quite a few bookish gifts. The Dictionary of Imaginary Places by Alberto Manguel; an adult coloring book; a puzzle featuring a bunch of […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 21, 2015! Merry early Christmas to those who celebrate! I hope you each receive a book or two off your wishlists! Last week was spent on final Christmas preparations. Last-minute shopping, a party, remaining decorations put up–it went by in a whirlwind! I love Christmastime but I’m also […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 14, 2015! I’ve had a busy couple of weeks. My husband and I took off one Friday to drive to a choose-and-cut farm to get our Christmas tree. We’ve been going to the same place for most of the 14 years we’ve been together. We always have a good time wandering around on the hillsides […]
Welcome to my weekly update for November 29, 2015! It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving/week! We ate too much and had a great time visiting with family. I avoided the Black Friday crowds […]

My husband and I volunteered to be balloon handlers in our local holiday parade yesterday through my job. It was a little windy so that […]
