Hello everyone! I am so happy that it is September, because that means hopefully autumn weather will be here to stay eventually. We just had a week of beautiful weather, and now are heading into that heat wave that much of the US is supposed to get. I am going to forge ahead with autumn vibes despite the weather, because who knows when we will get for real cool weather. I think Wyatt and I are going to decorate for fall this upcoming week – after school of course, because we start back on Tuesday! I have Billy hard at work hanging a few new things I got for school, and I have been organizing and straightening and gathering supplies for weeks now. I am pretty sure we are just about ready!

Reading:

I started this when we were on vacation in Northern Michigan, and while I was only able to read a tiny bit while vacationing, once we got back home I have been reading and listening to it every chance I get it. I am almost done, and will more than likely finish up today. I am reading it a bit, but once I started the audio version read by Meryl Streep I couldn’t stop with the audio. This book is beautiful and nostalgic and Streep just adds another layer of beauty with her skills as an actress. I started off not being super excited about this book, but as the story really started to get moving, I am obsessed.

Reading Next:

I absolutely loved The Firekeeper’s Daughter by Boulley, and I am looking forward to this one as well.

Watching and Listening:

We spent yesterday listening to some Jimmy Buffett, in honor of his passing. We also ate cheeseburgers as a cheeseburgers in Paradise tribute. I love Jimmy Buffett, and I have so many happy memories of his concerts. My dad and I went to one together, then Billy and my dad and I a few times. Just pure happiness, those concerts. We ate at Margaritaville in both the Keys and New Orleans, after driving alllll the way down there for vacations, more than likely singing along to Buffett at times during the drive. I shed a few tears for his passing yesterday, while we were eating our burgers and listening to his music. The song “He Went to Paris” always gets me a little teary, but even more so last night.

Wyatt and I have been listening to the new Okee Dokee Brothers album, Brambletown. It is super cute and Wyatt loves all music, and has loved the Okee Dokee Brothers for years and years. And I have to say, I have too.

As for watching, Billy and I have been finishing up the newest season of Murdoch Mysteries, which ended on quite the finale! We also are watching the newest season of When Calls the Heart, and started Over the Garden Wall, which is perfectly autumnal and I love it. It is super quirky and weird and sort of creepy. I love the music and the whole look of it and am really enjoying it. Oh, and we started season 2 of Hotel Portofino, which I love, it is so visually beautiful. We are also watching Newhart with Wyatt before bed. It is so cute, he asks to watch it every night. Lol.

Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I are also starting one of our movie watches again this week! We are starting with The Shop Around the Corner, which I believe Billy and I are watching tonight. I am looking forward to our fall picks!

And that is it from my corner of Michigan this morning! I hope all is well in your neighborhood.

  11. We went to Lake Michigan yesterday and the waves were rough but it was exhilarating to be out there. A lot cooler by the lake too. If you’re ever in Grand Haven and want good pizza we went to aplace called the Clover Bar. It’s a little hole in the wall place but good!

    Last week was so nice and then it turned quite warm. I think the coming week will be warm, too. The nice thing about this heat (if anything nice can be said about it) is it hasn’t been humid. That’s a weird thing for Indiana.

    My oldest son is a real Parrothead and has a parrot tattoo. He went to several concerts. I was so shocked to read about Jimmy Buffet’s death because he just seemed a little it immortal, you know? It seems we are losing so many of the good ones.

    I hope your first week of school goes well!

    This week has started off so mild weather wise, which is so unusual for this time of year. Summer weather usually hangs on until mid-October. I do hope this cooler weather will last, but I am skeptical. I hope the new school year has gotten off to a good start! I haven’t read much by Ann Patchett, but what I have read I loved. I am interested in Tom Lake and am glad you are enjoying it. I hope you have a great week!
