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 an opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
It was (hopefully!) my last hyper-busy week, with a family reunion, a birding outing, a library luncheon, a breakfast get-together for a friend's birthday, a pollinator bioblitz, volunteering in the butterfly tent at an event in Houston, and a book club meeting.
I'm off to East Texas again this weekend for granddaughter Annie's 10th birthday party. We shall go skating.
What I Read Last Week:
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman (Fantasy)
Heart the Lover by Lily King (Fiction)
Yellowface by R. F. Kuang (Fiction)
What I'm Reading Now:
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah (Fiction; Book Club)
Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Children's Historical Fiction)
Butterflies of Houston & Southeast Texas by John & Gloria Tveten (Nonfiction)
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:
My family reunion. My dad with his last living first cousin, Irene---he had almost 100.
Good Thing #2:
A birding outing in Galveston.
Good Thing #3:
Birthday breakfast with friends of nearly thirty years.

What a great week you had! I always love the photos of your father.
ReplyDeleteI liked “Yellowface” a lot. I’ve been very disillusioned to read recently revealed information about Laura Ingalls Wilder and the extreme right-wing political activism of her daughter (who may have written or extremely edited the Little House books). I enjoyed them a lot when I read them to my daughter.
Thanks for hosting Sunday Salon … mae
