It's Sunday Post time! This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.
What I Got:
Currently:
Reading: Many a Twist by Sheila Connolly, Dream Lake by Lisa Kleypas, and Dial M For Mousse by Laura Bradford.
Listening: I'm almost done with The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. I'm enjoying it but it does feel a bit too long.
Watching: Not a huge amount. I need to find another binge worthy Netflix show. We're kind of loose ends at the moment other than Top Chef.

| On the Right - 1943 with his brother |
I'm in Mississippi this weekend celebrating my Grandfather's 94th birthday. Last year at this time he was in a bad place health wise which makes this year very special. His health has tremendously and he's back to his old self. We'll be spending the week watching movies and relaxing. Last time I was there was the biggest snowfall in recorded history and I'm hoping there will not be a repeat!

Happy birthday to your grandfather!! Hope you have a fabulous week visiting.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Longmire on Netflix? That's a pretty good show, I've been watching it and am now hooked!
I really liked The Cuckoo's Calling, but agree, it did feel a bit long. I need to get to the second book in the series. I am glad to hear your grandfather is doing well. I remember how poorly he was doing last year. Happy Birthday to him! Enjoy your time in Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time celebrating your grandpa's birthday! I'm glad he's doing better. Treasure them while they're around... I still miss my grandparents, and it's been almost 25 years.
ReplyDeleteTV shows, hmm... have you tried the Father Brown mystery series?
Have a wonderful week!
Yay for an empty shelf this week. I liked he Cuckoo's Calling but yes was long. I liked the next books more. LOVE those pictures - Happy birthday to your grandfather! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are amazing, and congrats on actually not hauling anything :) have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your Grandfather. That's a great age, especially as his health is good again. Have fun celebrating!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grandfather. Have a fantastic week 😊
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration with your grandfather and many thanks for sharing such special photos:). I'll keep my fingers crossed that the snow stays away!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, wonderful pictures of your grandfather! He's about the same age as my Dad would have been. As others have said, treasure this time. Glad he's in a better place health-wise this year. THE CUCKOO'S CALLING was good and, yes, a bit long. I'll tell you now that all 3 of the books in the series are pretty long. Think she must have gotten the 'bug' for that after writing her final Harry Potter books. I loved all the Cormoran series though. Wish she would come out with another one.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your grandfather. Just knowing you are down in MS close to. My aunt and cousins now makes me smile. Seriously, the food at Mays restaurant is great but it’s inly 1 trip through the buffet so grab what you ant. Yes to the fried chicken.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Cormoran Strike series and have read them all. They are long. I’m excited about the TV series, I may need to get back on Netflix.
Right now I’m reading Finding Claire Fletcher. Moving back to Nicci French’s series next. Have a safe trip home!
Happy Birthday to your Grandfather! I hope you have a wonderful visit and no snow! :)
ReplyDeleteSafe trip home! Have a great week, Katherine! Happy reading! ox
Celebrating 94 years sounds pretty amazing, and those pics look awesome! Like you, I continue to go through withdrawal every time Top Chef ends, but I've found a few good cooking shows on Netflix that are not the same, but still interesting. I'm reading the latest from James Rollins and lots of cookbooks. Happy Sunday! RO
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Grandfather!!! Hope you a lovely visit.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!!
Aw, enjoy your time with your grandfather! My dad turned ninety-one at the beginning of the month and I love to spend time with him.
