The Sunday Salon: Little Women, Project Hail Mary, Shades of Gray, Spring Fling, Emily Dickinson, and Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon

 

I am happy that you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. Welcome! 

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. 

I saw a play, Little Women, at the college in my town. We heard our nephew play guitar and sing with his group, Shades of Gray. I went to see the movie, Project Hail Mary, with friends. A group of us enjoyed lunch together. I volunteered at Spring Fling, assisting visitors who came to see birds flying in for spring migration at the bird sanctuary at Quintana Beach. I went to my class on Emily Dickinson in Galveston. I went to Barre class and I went to swim class. I'm doing Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon this weekend. And I read five books and wrote five blog posts. Busy week!
