Welcome to my weekly update for January 16, 2022! We were planning to head back home to Asheville for another visit this weekend but the 5-8″ of snow in the forecast for Sunday cancelled those plans. I know that’s nothing to some of you but that’s significant for us. If it happens, I expect officials Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for January 9, 2022! I hope everyone had happy holidays! I did not mean to disappear over the past month or so but life got busy. We spent several weekends at my parents’ house near Asheville, NC and my sister visited us here in Charleston, SC. That left little time Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for November 28, 2021! I hope that everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My husband was on call at the hospital and of course he got called in for the evening before we had dinner. So we had our delayed Thanksgiving meal on Friday evening. A couple of our Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for November 21, 2021! My husband is on call at the hospital over Thanksgiving weekend but he had three days off this weekend so we came home to Asheville to visit family for a few days.

Welcome to my weekly update for November 14, 2021! My little sister turns 40 today! I can’t believe it! She’s with her husband visiting an old friend at her home in St. Croix, USVI for two weeks.

Welcome to my weekly update for November 7, 2021! Last week I asked if you thought I should attend YALLfest, a young adult book festival, even as an adult reader, and you all agreed that I should. I’m looking at the festival schedule now and figuring out which panels I’d like to attend. But I Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for October 31, 2021! Are you and/or your kids dressing up? I love costumes but I’ll probably just stick with my “Boo!” shirt this year. My husband and I spent an afternoon on Folly Beach this week. It was so nice to soak up the sun and listen to the Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for October 24, 2021! The past few weeks have been such a whirlwind of packing, unpacking, packing again, and seeing all our friends and family that we’ve basically just relaxed around our camper as much as we could this past week. We took our bikes out for a 19-mile ride Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for October 17, 2021! We’ve moved on to my husband’s next work assignment. We’re in Charleston, SC! It’s nice to wear shorts and tees after spending the summer in Alaska in long sleeves and jeans. I don’t know how long the shorts weather will last but we’re soaking it up Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for October 10, 2021! We wrapped up our final week back home in Asheville, NC and had a wonderful time seeing our friends and family!

Welcome to my weekly update for October 3, 2021! Last week was Banned Books Week so I posted a review of a different banned/challenged book every day. I feel that it’s terribly important to bring awareness to this issue. Monitor what your kids and you yourself read, by all means. But no one has the Continue Reading…
