It has been a very eventful week around here! First we brought a new little dog into our home and she already has us spoiling her like crazy. Her name is Molly and is the sweetest little thing.
Then we were honored to watch our second born child graduate from college. It has been a rough and winding road for him, but he finally reached his goal and we are so proud of him! Now that gives us two college graduates and with two more to go!
Along with those two major events we have also had baseball games and school concerts and finals and end of the year projects and ....only 7 more days of school! We are ALL ready for a break.
Amazingly though, I have managed to have time to read! I finished Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith and plan to write my review in the next couple of days while I am off of work on a little medical leave. I have now been reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and am enjoying it---especially because it is set in the Seattle area and deals with a part of local history which I was not taught in school. It wasn't until reading Snow Falling on Cedars several years ago that I really realized what happened to the Japanese population here in my hometown!
I hope to finish this one tonight and hope to either read Keeper and Kid or If You Lived Here. I haven't finished any challenges recently feel like I am right on track for finishing them all on time!
Have a great week everyone!
You must be so proud of your son. Well done to him. I can't believe school finishes for you guys in seven days - in England we have another seven weeks!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I just read The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet last week - really glad I did.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly been a momentous week for your family. Congratulations to all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulaions and great photos! Hope your medical leave is nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son!
ReplyDeleteA big "welcome" for your new little friend, Molly!
And I do hope that your medical issue is not too serious. Time away from work is great but not when you are feeling lousy and can't enjoy it.
She is cute!! Congrats to your son..what a great accomplishment!!! I loved, loved Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and like you was really interested in learning what happened to the Japanese citizens that lived in the US during that time.
ReplyDeleteNew dog and college graduation! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteWe just got a second kitty. Thankfully, he's getting along with our current cat finally.
Congratulations on your son's graduation and on your adorable new puppy!
