Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves, for weekly updates.
**Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.
Good morning! Here I am again, finally, after missing last week’s updates. This week has been one of settling into my new space and visiting with my eldest son from Prague. Last Sunday, family members met at Yard House for lunch…and then I moved into my new little apartment.
Midweek, Craig and I enjoyed an outing to one of my old favorite places: California Pizza Kitchen.
BLOGGING:
No blogging this week. But I did read and review two books:
Those People, by Louise Candlisch – 
Mrs. Everything, by Jennifer Weiner
***
INCOMING BOOKS:
Empty mailbox. I purchased one new e-book…
I’ll Never Tell, by Catherine McKenzie
***
What’s next? More settling in…and adjusting to the new normal. Here is the dining room adjacent to our apartments. I like eating lunch in my apartment, but dinners in the dining room feel festive.
Here is my favorite section of the apartment….my office space:

AN INTERIOR JOURNEY 
Life moves on, and upwards! I’m sure you will settle in nicely very soon and be back to your books and blogging again!

I’m so glad your son from Prague was able to spend time with you. Love the family photo. And I would want my books with me so I hope someone can make that happen for you soon. Are you doing physical or occupational therapy? I’m sure your days are a bit busy with all the changes. I hope you have a good week and I’ll look forward to your thoughts on the new McKenzie book.

Thanks, Mary, and yes, lots of changes. I have physical therapy twice a week, and I’m hopeful that I will regain my strength. I still have surgery to get through in July.
Enjoy your week, and I have been very pleased to have my eldest son in town. He goes home tomorrow, though. Sigh.
