Good Thing #1
All Creatures Great and Small is back for Season 2.
Good Thing #2
I may have gotten a little carried away with
baking homemade granola.
Good Thing #3
One of my favorite things we do each week is
to eat pizza and watch a movie
with my sister and her husband.
After we watched eleven Star Wars movies,
my sister chose Sense & Sensibility,
and I followed with Pride & Prejudice.
We seem to be moving into a Jane Austen movies phase.
I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. Sunday Salon is a place to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. It's 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?
- Read any good books? Tell us about them.

Favorite book of the year already? High praise indeed. I've never even gotten my hands on All the Light We Cannot See.
ReplyDeleteI see you're reading the Diary of Samuel Pepys. I've been a bit curious about it since high school. We had to read one book each month of our choosing from a long list and two girls read Pepys. I still remember how they laughed about his gossip and brutal honesty!
What a nice weekly double date you have! We re-watched all the Star Wars movies early in the pandemic. Since then we've very slowly been re-watching all the Marvel movies in order. I should have gotten in a palate cleanser like Jane Austen. My husband doesn't mind watching "chick flicks" so it would have been fine.
We're excited about season 2 of All Creatures as well.
Enjoy your week!
