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 thought life would slow down in August, but it hasn't yet. I went to a Seed and Plant Exchange on Sunday, I had jury duty on Monday (the case was settled out of court, so yay!), we went to dinner at a Persian restaurant in Houston with old friends on Tuesday, we went with my dad to an appointment to see if he might be a candidate for an ultrasound procedure to reduce his hand tremors on Wednesday (he was!), I swam on Thursday, I went to a class on poet Wallace Stevens on Friday, and we did our butterfly count on Saturday.
I reread two wonderful books this week, one because a friend said it was her favorite book (Peace Like a River) and the other because I will be leading a book club discussion of it next week (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency).
What I Read Last Week:
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger (Fiction)
No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith (Fiction)
What I'm Reading Now:
The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook by Hampton Sides (Nonfiction)
The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor (Dark Fantasy)
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 bought a ukulele.
Good Thing #2:
Bastani (Persian ice cream).
We also tried koobideh kabobs and
tahdig (Persian crispy rice).
Good Thing #3:
I took a class on
taking photos for iNaturalist.
I'm thinking about getting a macro lens for my phone.
