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 time to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
We had lots of company last week---our granddaughter and great-granddaughter plus my sister and her husband and my brother. It rained almost every day, but we still managed to make it to Galveston where we played on the beach, and we spent time with great-granddaughter, Lucy, exploring all the wonderful toys we keep at our house for just such visits.
My husband and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary by going out to eat and (yay!) visiting a bookstore.
I also squeezed in a couple of swims between rainstorms, and I made it to my writing group for the first time in several weeks.

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 showed considerable restraint and
just came home with one book
from the anniversary trip to the bookstore.
Good Thing #2:
I made progress in French
on Duolingo.
Good Thing #3:
Lucy took a surprise photo of us this week.
Sometimes it's nice to see things
from an almost-four-year-old's
point of view.
Hurrah for the anniversary (and associated bookstore trip) -- congrats. Sounds like a busy week, but you always do seem to make the most of it!
