Delinquent...again
Well here it is July 10th and I have not posted since May. Wow. Where has the time gone? I have been reading, playing a little golf (although sometimes I give new definition to the game of golf), hanging out in Little Rhody with family and friends, visiting my mom (and we visited the CT DMV one morning- now that was a good time!) and even done a bit of sewing. What have I read? Well, A Man Called Ove (loved this one even though it was a bit sad), Dead to the Last Drop (Coffee house mystery this time set in DC), Heat and Light (fiction based on the current fracking dilemma, also a bit depressing), The Summer Before the War (historical fiction), The Japanese Lover, Murder at the 42nd Street Library and Career of Evil (JK Rowling aka Robert Galbraith) to mention most of them. Phew. Currently reading The Dig which my cousin gave a really good review - enough to pique my curiosity. Our local library is having an adult summer reading program, bingo style, which I enrolled in. And guess what? I won a raffle basket which includes a backstage tour of the Schubert Theater in New Haven. I rarely win so this is a bit exciting. And I have seen quite a few shows at the Schubert so it will be interesting.
Fourth of July was a busy weekend family-wise. My daughter, her partner,their two dogs (Maddy and James)and two friends. My son also was with us with his dog (Nellie) and two of his friends. Wild and crazy times but fun. The weather was beautiful and the dogs loved running around chasing the chipmunks. We couldn't see any fireworks but could hear them which drove Nellie crazy. She was pretty scared. Maddy and James didn't seem to mind. . This is Nellie basking in the sun. Here is a not so great picture of the three dogs waiting for food..
So I am almost caught up with news. Wednesday my book club meets for a summer potluck. We couldn't find a date in June that was convenient for most of us so this is technically our June meeting. Will be fun to see everyone and get caught up on the latest news.
