TGIF | 5.21.21

Happy Friday, Gentle Readers...but honestly, I can't quite believe it's Friday! This week just raced by at a speed that is a bit frightening.  Summer arrived rather abruptly... it went from frosty mornings and the need for the furnace last week to some very warm...

It feels like I have not done one of these posts in ages and so I thought that it would be a wonderful way to end the week: (bookish) Thinking — I managed to print out not one, but two Summer Book Bingo cards. I know... what is wrong with me! But there is a method to...

Go outside. Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out, to the bus and back home and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep...
