10 things that get in the way of reading.

So yesterday’s top ten Tuesday’s prompt was: Things that get in the way of reading. I never remember Top Ten Tuesday because it’s not something I follow religiously until I see another blog posting about it and if it’s an interesting prompt. Since I’ve been busy the last few weeks, obviously it wasn’t on my …

My Birthday Dog.

Birthday Boy. We adopted our dog three years ago today. Since we don’t know his real birthday, we decided that his adoption day would be his birthday. He was about two when we got him so now he’s five. He’s been the best boy that one could ever ask for in a dog. Yesterday I …

A Visit at the Beach.

Historic Waterfront in Georgetown, SC. Photo by Ashley French April 2023 At the end of April, we went down to the Carolinas for about a week.

Happy Easter…

May today be as warm and adventurous as ours has been today. I hope you spent time with family and ate food you enjoyed. Happy Easter to you.

Bath time.

I gave my dog a bath this morning. I’ve been bathing him once a month at the beginning of the month since December or January and I think I’ve finally gotten him to the point where he’s used to getting a bath. This morning I enticed him with his treat as usual and he went …

Books and Life 3/22/23

I'm currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I started reading it a few days ago and I'm already halfway through it. I didn't think I'd enjoy it but since I'm trying to read books that I already own, I decided I might as well read it and see what's going on …

My February 2023 in Books

I read five books in February. This is amazing considering I had a cold at the beginning of the month and didn’t feel like reading. Granted one was an unusual cookbook with blurbs in it and another one was super short but that’s okay. Plus one or two I was reading for forever and happened …

What I did and cooked on a rainy Monday.

Because it was a heavy rain and wind day yesterday, I stayed home all day. I did a little bit of laundry but mostly I just snuggled and read all day. Apparently there was a lot of tornado warnings around the state but nothing near my house. Even my husband had to sit in the …
