Weekly Update for February 23, 2025

Welcome to my weekly update for February 23, 2025!

This was a pretty quiet week so I started sorting through tax paperwork. *sigh* My husband and I did go to Old Town San Diego for a couple of hours one afternoon. We hadn’t been there before so we had a good time looking around all the shops and restaurants. It was a little touristy but it was so colorful and the food smelled so good that we didn’t care. We did not plan well and ate lunch before we left our camper, so we intend to go back when we have room for a meal.

I’ve wanted to know more about John Wesley Powell, who led the first official expedition down the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon, ever since we visited that national park ten years ago. I finally remembered to look for a book about him and settled on Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell’s 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon by Edward Dolnick. My hold just became available so I’ll start it when I finish I Know Who You Are. I also need a new audiobook but I don’t know what I’m in the mood for.

What did your week look like?
