This past week was a flurry of activity! I am leaving this week for Texas, while my two guys are staying at home. I am anxious and excited all at the same time! I am trying to get everything ready for them before I go too, so I am super busy getting my own stuff together, cleaning everything, planning everything – so much to do!! We also had a few days of excessive heat, which didn’t help with running errands, but oh well – I still have a few more days before I take off!
Read Last Week:
I holed up for a few days with Wyatt, reading a bunch of books to him, but I haven’t gotten much reading of my own done. I did start a book by Mary Stewart, who I love, and I am enjoying it. I hope to finish it by Thursday as I am just packing my Kindle! If not, I will just buy the Kindle version I guess though..lol.
Loaded on my Kindle to read:
The whole purpose of this trip is a mom’s retreat, with lots of free time, so hopefully I get lots of reading in!
Have I mentioned that Mary Stewart is a comfort read author for me? Lol.
Watching:
The Tour de France. It’s pretty much all we watch for 21 days in July.

Paris in July: The Tour de France
How about you guys? What is happening in your neighborhood?
Longing to read Little Bookshop on the Seine. Paris. Seine. Books. What’s not to love?

When I was growing up, my mom shared all her favorite writers with me—Phyllis Whitney, Victoria Holt, Dorothy Eden—and the one I grew to love best was Mary Stewart. They were comfort reads for my mom, too. The novel I remember loving most as a young adult was This Rough Magic. I should find that one and reread it.
I hope you have a wonderful time on your moms retreat!

Aw I love that story!! I love her books – I can’t even really put my finger on what it is honestly. They are sort of old fashioned but I love that about them. I don’t know how I started reading her, but I wish I could remember. 🙂 I loved This Rough Magic too. 🙂
And thank you!

Sounds like you’re having a fun trip. Never been to Texas. Mary Stewart sounds familiar but I’ll have to look her up. Safe travels.

I haven’t either! I am looking forward to going but I am also feeling a bit nervous about leaving the boy! I’ve never been away from him overnight before. Lol. I love Mary Stewart. Such an old fashioned writer but I love her.
