Chicago!

I don't think I heard anything about Covid this week in the news or from friends. 

It's the first time in a long time that I am really starting to stop worrying constantly about it.

I liked both my books this week a lot, but they weren't perfect reads. Fellowship Point was a beautiful story of two elderly friends, but it is a long book and I thought it tended to drag. Crying in the Bathroom was a poignant memoir of the author's struggles with sexism, racism, and depression, but I think people shouldn't write memoirs when they are young.

We are visiting with our son and daughter-in-law in Chicago!

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:
