Welcome to my weekly update for June 5, 2022! Well, I thought I was getting back into the swing of blogging a couple of weeks ago but I was obviously wrong. Maybe this will be my week! We visited Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and were surprised by how beautiful it is! Seeveral wild horses […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 22, 2022! Whew! It’s been a busy six weeks. Since my last update on April 3, we had some repair work done on our RV (we stay in it while my husband is working at different hospitals around the country). We had to move into an Extended Stay […]
4 Stars. This is one of the most realistic commencement addresses I’ve ever read or heard. These things are usually full of high flown language about changing the world and chasing your dreams. That’s all very inspirational. But how do you actually get to that point? You work and you work some more. Sometimes you get lucky […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten authors I haven’t read yet, a topic suggested by Deanna at A Novel Glimpse. I’m slowly weeding out my GoodReads TBR so this topic is fresh in my mind. The problem is narrowing the list down to ten! I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s […]
4 Stars. I really enjoyed this book, especially as a woman with a degree in biology and a background in clinical research. Ignotofsky obviously made an effort to include women from many countries and across many races, which is lovely. Considering that the entry for Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space […]
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up for March 2022! My posting fell off a lot in March because we had several visitors and we fit in a long weekend out of town. But it was nice to see so many friends and family members! Travels/Exploration: If you’re new here, you should know that my husband is […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 3, 2022! We had a nice visit with my husband’s parents last weekend and then my sister came down to visit this weekend. As I write this on Friday afternoon, she’s working from our RV so we haven’t gone out to explore yet. I have some ideas for […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 27, 2022! I didn’t think I would read much this week since I was getting ready for my in-laws to visit but all that cleaning left me plenty of time to rip through audiobooks. Add in a couple of books that I was almost finished with last week, […]
4.5 Stars. Oh my goodness. Why do we pay less attention to Anne Brontë than the other sisters? I liked this book infinitely more than Wuthering Heights! I’ll still give Jane Eyre the edge as my favorite book by a Brontë, but it’s a closer thing than I expected. Anne wrote both a captivating story and a searing indictment of “bad boys” and [..
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with an adjective in the title this week. This one seems pretty easy, so let’s get to it! I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe in beautiful Asheville, NC. I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you if you purchase […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 20, 2022! We decided to spend last weekend in Columbia, SC. It’s the capital of the state, but–most appealing to me–it’s also next door to Congaree National Park. We’ve visited national parks in Alaska and Hawaii but we’ve never visited this park, located only about three hours away […]
