New post!
One would think I would be able to keep up with this little blog due to the pandemic and not going anywhere, or socializing. But for some reason it has been hard. My reading has been slow but steady. I try to exercise every day either by taking a Zoom class and or taking a long walk, even in the cold. Our book club zoomed in January to discuss Wild Horses in the Summer Sun, a memoir set in Iceland. We were able to have the author zoom with us. A local person who is also friends with three of the members. It was a really good discussion and interesting to learn how Tory wrote her story of riding Icelandic horses (who knew they had 5 gaits?) and her love of Iceland. Our next book is Heavy, another memoir. I started this yesterday and it is indeed heavy. It deals with growing up in a dysfuntional family unit and dealing with racism, drugs, violence, abuse. Not a long book. It will be interesting to see how many read it and how the discussion unfolds. January is my month for all things healthy- doctor appointments, medical tests (blood work, mammogram, colonscopy this year - ugh etc). Despite the pandemic we have continued to go to RI. As we go house to house we are in our own little bubble. It is cold and wintry and quite lovely this time of year. The sunsets have been spectacular. I have been baking although my doctor told me to not do quite so much. I enjoy the process. Sadly it is my husband and I that eat almost all that I bake. I have a couple of pictures to post but will need to figure how to do it as Google tells me it can't find that page (I have them on my desktop). Sigh. Technology. Not my friend.
