SUNDAY SUMMARY

This was my birthday week, and I have done something to celebrate every day. I ate out three times; My Better Half brought home take-out from the Olive Garden, which lasted two days; and the cards, gifts, flowers, and good wishes poured in. Thank all of you! Because I was treated as a lady of leisure, I had plenty of time to read.

It was pick up and put down, but these were finished.

A sometimes rather disturbing, but interesting book, this one, but one of my former students sent it to me (We had our own little “book exchange.”), and I was fascinated by life in the 60s and 70s in NYC as well as a look at an era (drugs and free love) I did not participate in.

Another audio book I finished and really enjoyed, thanks to the narrator, Tom Hanks, was The Dutch House.

My daily “devotional”/think time comes from this marvelous book.

Another inspiring book I am reading slowly, digesting a page or two a day

This is a book I’ve just begun, but am enjoying a great deal.

An audio book that is like listening to poetry and often brings tears to my eyes

Another former student came for lunch and brought a basket full of gifts, including this book, which I’ve heard of, but never read.

A children’s book I intend to order.

My birthday week brought me much goodness and many kindnesses. May the week ahead bring the same to you, dear reader.
