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 sister and I,
after a 16-mile e-bike ride
around Waco
We came home from spending the week with my sister and her husband in Waco, and I got back to my at-home routine of swimming and doing nature volunteer work and reading and taking some classes. What am I taking this fall? I signed up for a four-week guitar class, an eight-week writing class, and a six-week happiness class.
What I Read Last Week:
An African History of Africa by Zeinab Badawi (Nonfiction)
Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (Children's Fantasy)
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Fiction)
What I'm Reading Now:
Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami
Katabasis by R. F. Kuang
A New New Me by Helen Oyeyemi
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:
I joined friends
at the beach in Galveston
for the sunrise.
Good Thing #2:
Burrowing Owl
that has (apparently) settled into
life near a Galveston restaurant.
Good Thing #3:
Action for Happiness
online class to practice
happiness habits.
You and your sister look like you had a great time! Lots of classes coming up for you this fall. I hope you enjoy them. I added An African History of Africans to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have the time to spend with your sister. A longer visit is always good. I'll be eager to hear about your happiness class.
ReplyDeleteBurrowing owls seem to have adapted amazingly to suburban life. We saw a lot of them in a town in Florida, where they burrow ritght in green lawns. What fun!
ReplyDeleteGood to see everyone at Sunday Salon.
best… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
What a cute photo of you & your sister. Sounds like a fun bike ride. I'm glad you liked Dream Count -- I still plan to get to it and I hope you enjoy the talk with the author. I'd love to see a burrowing owl ... but mostly what we have here are Great Horned Owls. Thx for the link up.
ReplyDeleteI could really use a happiness class! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a burrowing owl, that's a very cool photo. Glad you had such a good time iwth your sister on the visit. When I used to get together with my sis we could get laughing until tears came. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked in for a whole ad so fun to see you keeping at it! Biking!!!! I am so overdue to do that :)
ReplyDeleteI am shamed by the amount you do!! It is fall, I need to motivate myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of you and your sister, Deb. Who would have thought years ago that there would be electric bikes? Ha! We just returned from a vacation to Yellowstone Park and enjoyed it very much. I'll be sharing some pictures and getting back to blogging soon. I've missed it. Take care!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful week, indeed! You are now the second person today who has mentioned a bike ride! I have been toying with the idea of beginning that endeavor again so I will have to give this some more thought. It's probably been 35 years since I've sat on two wheels, but you know what they say about riding bikes ;-) Hope you have a glorious weekend and wonderful week ahead! Thanks for sharing this link up for us all!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great picture of you and your sister. I love owls.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I talked to my middle sister on the phone for 2 hours last weekend. She still lives in Ohio and I'm in Florida so we don't get to see each other as much as we use to. My favorite place to be is the beach and I collected owls for quite a few years, then I switched to lighthouses.
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive bike ride!! I will be curious to hear what you learn in your happiness class, I hope you will share with us!! Have a great weekend!
