I'll be posting 159 Love Books I Have Read on Tuesday. Some of the titles are rather odd. How many books with "love" in the title have you read? 









Who of you told me about this show? Thank you, thank you. I am enjoying it so much.




I'd love to hear about your week.




I'm very happy you found your way to the Sunday Salon. There are no real requirements to linking up at Sunday Salon. Sunday Salon is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

Some of the things we often talk about at the Sunday Salon:

  • What was your week like?

  1. We visited Paris often when we lived in France and I always felt like I could live there too. Maybe we could share an apartment? ;)

    1. Absolutely. My sister and I found a nice Paris apartment today. It's about 1700 square feet, with three bedrooms, and is selling for six million. Do you still want in, Kathy? Lol.

    1. That might be something we should all work on before we actually go in on a six million dollar apartment.

  11. Happy to hear you are enjoying Paris! Your post on love books sounds great! I have no idea how many I have read.

    Have a wonderful week!

  12. Like Molly, I was wondering how long you were staying and it sounds like from your comment on your blog, you're not there with your husband? I thought you were. I guess I need to read posts a little more carefully than I do. I think I might have ? maybe ? introduced you to Comedians In Car Getting Coffee, but I'm not sure. I'll be honest that I've only seen a few episodes but my wife really likes it.

      It might have been you, Bryan. Thank your wife for me.
