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.
It was a lovely week in summer here, with lots of swimming and guitar-playing and reading.
I'm headed to downtown Houston today to the Alley Theater to see the play, The Mirror Crack'd, with a friend. We are also going to eat at a French (!) restaurant.
Next week we shall be in Paris!* More on this later.

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (my fourth read of this book)

What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
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:
Good Thing #1:
We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary.
Good Thing #2:
Our g-granddaughter Lucy will celebrate her 3rd birthday
at a children's museum near Dallas next weekend.
We will be staying nearby in Paris*---Paris, Texas.
Good Thing #3:
Ross Gay shows us
how we might develop our "delight muscle."
Congratulations on 47 years! I'm very impressed by the variety of reading you do, including poems and children's stories. Thanks for the link-up
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Anniversary! And Happy Birthday to your g-granddaughter! I need to read Lonesome Dove. I saw the mini series like 40 years ago. It’s past time.
