The Sunday Salon: An Encounter with the Sheriff, a Flood, Two Wonderful Thanksgiving Gatherings, and the Thankfully Reading Weekend
Welcome! I am delighted that 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. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
My nephew Randal fried the turkey for us in East Texas.
We had two wonderful Thanksgiving get togethers, one up in East Texas and one down here close to home. We had an unexpected visit from a county sheriff (we accidentally set off the alarm; situation easily resolved) and a refrigerator ice maker that flooded the kitchen while we went out to eat (resolved, but with a lot of effort) while we were in East Texas, but otherwise everything went smoothly and we devoured fried turkey and stuffing and green bean casserole and pecan pie and homemade rolls and cranberry sauce and visited and laughed at both Thanksgivings. Truly a delight.

New to Thankfully Reading Weekend? Here are the details:
There are no rules to the weekend. We’re simply hoping to devote a good amount of time to reading, and perhaps meeting some of our reading challenges and goals for the year. We thought it’d be fun if we cheered each other on a bit.
If you think you can join in, grab the logo and add your sign up post to the link-up here. Include the link to where you’ll be posting your updates (Instagram, Threads, etc). Jenn personally will be updating most on Instagram.
The official hashtag we’ll be using is #thankfullyreading. Join in for the weekend or for only a single day. No rules, no pressure!
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
