The Sunday Salon: In Which I Return Home After Roller Skating and Baking and Playing Guitar and Swimming, Etc. in East Texas

 

 




Welcome! 

I am 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. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 







Board games...basketball...nature walks...water park...
baking...the movies...roller skating...
playing guitar...

I think we did it all last week
while I was visiting the grandkids in 
East Texas.






What I Read Last Week:

Mark Twain by Ron Chernow (biography)




What I'm Reading Now:

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang (Fantasy)

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 had a blast at the water park.



Good Thing #2:

I roller skated with the grandkids
for the first time in thirty years.
Fun!



Good Thing #3:

We loved seeing the Fantastic Four movie
together.

    Roller skating - very brave. I don't think I've ever done it! Would be interested to learn a bit more about Mark Twain.

    Looks like you had a blast with the grandkids! Roller-skating grandma, there is nothing cooler than that! Your review of Mark Twain is intriguing. He sounds like a man who in many ways matured toward empathy. I have to admire that. So many don’t. This is going on the TBR list.

    It sounds like a fantastic (but tiring) week, LOL! I have not been on roller skates in years, but I loved them as a kid.

    What a fun-filled holiday you had! I need to go skating again (ice not roller). Have a great weekend Deb!

    You are indeed a fun grandmother. I could enjoy the waterpark and slides, but I think my roller skating days are over. Used to really enjoy it, but no, no, no. LOL

    That water park is hilarious / love the pics. Good job on the roller skates too! I just picked up the Twain book from the library -- ha it weighs quite a bit! But likely it will have to go back to the library before I can get to it. I think I'd need to buy that one in order to read the whole thing. It would take me awhile. Enjoy the grandkids!

    If they gave out an award for most fun Grandma, you would win in a heartbeat!

    I used to love skating. I don't do it anymore. I would probably fall and break something. The water park looks fun.
