The Sunday Salon (TSS 3/6/11)

Life: Whew, I made it through the week, for which I am grateful.  This next week is proving daunting, but not as bad as last week, so things are looking up.  We have had nothing but rain for days now, the air is fresh, the crocuses and tulips have poked through the earth and it is all rather lovely.

Family Update: My oldest has decided on a University and I am thrilled with his decision.   We finalised graduation plans and the twins’ schedules for next year.  No one told me my life would be busier with near adult children then when they were little.  I do need to remember to place orders for our 20th wedding anniversary cake and a graduation cake, as I know she books well in advance.  I should make a note of it, I know I shall forget.

Saturday Night: Considering we had yet another four day weekend, the guys went out with friends Thursday and Friday so we cold have our family Saturday. :)   It was lovely.  We all slept in (delightful), played games, chose to have “Taco Dads” for dinner and then prepared for a DVD marathon.  All in all it was a perfect day.

Read and Reviewed: I managed to read and review 6 books totaling 2,464  pages, which turned out to be 4 books more than I thought I would be able to read last week so I am pleased.

If you do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list for the week, all my reviews are up and as usual I love comments.

Today I will be reading: (if I have time) Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.
