Last week was crazy. My dad fell and broke the top of his femur, which started a whirlwind of events for him and my stepmom. He had to have some screws and pins put in but he is home and working on healing. Then Billy had to have an oral surgery Thursday, on a tooth that needed a bone graft. He is also starting to feel a bit better as well.
I did get to finally visit with my dad yesterday! It was so good to see him and my stepmom – and I even got to see my nephew and stepsister as a bonus. They live a good distance away but I am hoping to get back there again soon. My dad was doing great!
Read Last Week:
I loved both of these books/stories, both were so good even though they both left me a little sad. I hope to review them both this week – although The Tiger Came to the Mountains is a short story, so the review will be short too. I think it took me 15 minutes or so to read? I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the collection!
Reading This Week:
I plan on reading a few more short stories in the Trespass Collection this week; I may even read them all as they are so short!
Posted Last Week:
Watching:
We are still watching Murdoch Mysteries. I am going to be honest, it’s not a *great* show. It is sort of cheesy, in both story-line and just the way it looks, but it is easy and entertaining, and was perfect for our stressful week.
And that’s it from around here this week. Stay safe and well everyone!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
How great to see family members again!
The books are so colorful, and I love looking at them. Enjoy!

I’d like to say that I can’t relate to crazy weeks, but alas, I can. Hope your week this coming week is a little less crazy.

Ugh. Your poor dad. That must have been very painful. My husband fell and broke his shoulder and wound up having to have shoulder replacement surgery. Getting older is not for sissies! And your poor husband. Dental work makes me cringe. Hope everyone has a much better week. Take care!

My husband loves mysteries, but I’m not sure he’s seen the Murdoch Mysteries. I’ll talk to him about looking into them.
The Trespass Collection sounds like a perfect series for decompressing.
Your poor husband and dad!
