TSS: Nothing

I didn't finish a single book this week.


I received a bookbox in the mail. Here it is. Unopened.


Here is my TBR stack on Monday.


Here is my TBR stack today. Nothing read.

I got notices that books were in at the library. The books are still sitting at the library.

So why such a book-less week? Have I been ill? Away on vacation? Caring for the sick?

No, it was happy news....My son got married!

His sweet bride-to-be and her s-mom have been working on this for months. Cake, flowers, reception hall, dj...slowly everything started to come together.

It's the scary parts you remember, I bet. H lost her engagement ring. J lost his driver's license and you have to have a dl to get a marriage license. Our preacher retired just before H&J were getting married and we couldn't find anyone else to marry them. And H&J wanted to get married outside, at the park, where they had their first date. Outside, mind you, in July, here on the Gulf Coast of Texas. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Temps run in the high nineties during July.

And H wanted her dog in the wedding.

Her mom was caring for H's grandpa. Would her mom be able to come to the wedding?

And at 2:30 yesterday, it was pouring down rain.

And where was the music?

The bride?

At five minutes till three, the rain stopped. We wiped down the chairs. There was suddenly a cool breeze and temp dropped ten degrees.

The music arrived.

The bride arrived.

Every chair was filled, and even the bride's mom was able to come.

I've never seen a more perfect wedding.

The bride walked down the path in the park, and she was radiant. J was glowing. J&H exchanged vows, exchanged rings (H's mom gave H a ring from H's g-ma), and a beautiful prayer was said. We all quietly thanked God for everything working out.

And that's why I read nothing this week.
