The Sunday Salon: Bonne Année! Joyeuse Année!

  

Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 



I am like a kid at Christmastime when it's New Year's Day.
I feel like it's a brand-new start.
I, of course, made several resolutions.
Fingers crossed!
Happy New Year!




I like to give myself a head start with a new reading year, so I close out my reading for the year in November and I start my reading for a new year in December. I'm happy with the variety of books I finished on January 1st this year. I read a science fiction book; two books on nature; two children's fantasies; a picture book; a cookbook; two books of poetry; a light romance; one classical children's book; a book of essays; a memoir; and four nonfiction books.

The Sunday Salon: The Last Few Days of 2023












I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:


Good Thing #1:

I volunteered at the Brazoria National Wildlife Center Open House last week.
It was fun talking to people about nature.



Good Thing #2:

My brother broke his leg on Christmas Eve (no, that's not the good thing),
so my husband flew up to Pennsylvania 
to help my brother and his wife drive back to Texas.

My husband is a saint.



Good Thing #3:

My dad celebrated his 97th birthday!
