Happy Sunday and Happy Father's Day! Raise your hand if you sent the father in your life off with one or more of your kids so as that it feels as much like a treat for you as it does for them. ✋ The Big Guy and Mini-him headed downtown today with the goal of scoring some cheap College World Series tickets; if those couldn't be found, they would just hang out and soak up the atmosphere, which is a thing unto itself. They did manage to get great tickets for a good price so are busy watching the Virginia-Florida State game. BG even swung by to see my dad earlier and dropped off (as in hung outside his bedroom window) his Father's Day present.
Meanwhile, I have the house to myself. I'm waiting on banana bread to finish baking so I can take my dad a loaf, one of his faves. When I get home, I'm planning to whip up a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies with walnuts for BG. That's a cookie I don't care for so rarely make so it will be a great treat for him. Cooking/baking is my love language!
Last Week I:
Listened To: I finished
The Keeper of Hidden Books and am now about 2/3 of the way through Kerri Maher's
All You Have To Do Is Call, which was recommended to me and is exceedingly timely.
Watched: Once again, lots of college baseball.
Read: Kris Carr's I'm Not a Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart. Next up, Tea Obreht's The Morningside. Still buried in Netgalley and library books so I need to find more time (and attention) to read books in print.
Made: Some salads, some pasta, and the aforementioned baking.
Enjoyed: Miss H was in town briefly Friday/Saturday so we got some time with her and then I had a long-call with Mini-me today.

This Week I’m:
Planning: I've been putzing around, reorganizing and picking up some things to make that work better for us and that will continue this week.
Thinking About: Trips we'd like to take yet this summer.
Feeling: Like weekends are much too short. I need another day!
Looking forward to: Dinner with our Shep family tomorrow and book club Tuesday!
Question of the week: Do you have travel plans for this summer? If so, where are you headed?
Haha. My husband went to visit my son for Father's Day so I had the house to myself and the pup. The pup was pretty naughty though. Really acting out since the Hub was not there. He said she did the same thing when I was in the hospital. She seems good now though. She even enjoyed book club last night and was a nice little girl and not barking at everyone! They were amazed.
