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.
What a wonderful 70th birthday I had! Surprises in the mail...cards...a bookstore visit...outings to restaurants...gifts from friends...I feel overwhelmed with happiness. Thank you for all your birthday wishes!
Update on my dad: He says he is much, much better! Thank you for all your good thoughts and prayers!
Update on our gas leak: The plumber has started to work. The work should be complete by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Week 1 November 2-8 - My Year in Nonfiction - Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
Hosted by Heather who blogs at Based on a True Story
Next week will be Week 2, Nonfiction Journeys. This week choose a book that reflects a journey for its author or for the reader or both. This can be a physical journey, an emotional, psychological or spiritual journey or a combination of these. Any nonfiction title that leaves its author/protagonist and/or reader in a different place at the end from the start point is good for this challenge. Week 2 will be hosted by Frances at volatilerune.blog.
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:
Did we, from our library friends group,
ever have fun on Halloween night!
We gave away 585 books to kids!
Good Thing #2:
Our son and daughter-in-law sent me
for my birthday
this amazing poster-sized photo of us
on our vacation together
in Traverse City, Michigan.
Good Thing #3:
Texas, you did good.
Love wins over hate.
