Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon and The Sunday Post 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.

Another easy-going week slipped by, and we saw the last of March! April is symbolic of spring, of course, and we have had some lovely days. I stayed home all week, and even though I only read and reviewed two books and wrote six blog posts, I did enjoy some viewing. I watched an old series from back in the day: October Road, which I enjoyed again. I caught up on The Drop Out and Big Sky, and started a new series: The Girl from Plainville.
I rearranged a few things in my space, and I enjoyed picturing how my new hall tree will look once it is assembled: on Monday!
I hope to go out today…just because it is a weekend and the weather is lovely. I already finished the laundry!
Let’s grab some coffee and take a closer peek at my week.

AN INTERIOR JOURNEY 
It is nice to get out! I revisited a favorite restaurant this weekend and that was good. And waiting for Amazon packages is always great, love the anticipation of knowing they’re soon to arrive. 🙂
Hope your weekend is amazing!

Thanks, Greg, I like waiting for packages more than actually going out to shop! Although it is good to do that once in a while, too.
Have a great week.

I hope you were able to get out this weekend and enjoy the weather! This is our rest weekend before we go into several busy ones with various dance and Girl Scout activities. And Easter. I keep forgetting about Easter. The Detective’s Daughter sounds good. I don’t know if I have read a book by Spindler. If I did, it was years ago. I hope you are enjoying Moment in Time. Have a great week.

Thanks, Wendy; in the end, I stayed in to read and watch movies. Lazy me! Today I’ll do some cleaning. Tomorrow will be my hall tree assembly….and hopefully it comes off without a hitch!
I finished Moment in Time and really enjoyed it. I’m now immersed in The Detective’s Daughter.
Have a great week!

The weather was wonderful here in So Cal part of the week, too. Opened my windows to enjoy while I was working. We got lots of rain on Monday, but we haven’t gotten much rain since December, so I’m not complaining about that either.

I read Moment in Time and the book that came before that one. I didn’t realize this was a follow-up one but I enjoyed them both.
I’ve read Erica Spindler and Anne Tyler before but not those specific titles.

Thanks, Erin, I am excited about the hall tree, too, although a little anxious. I have arranged for the assembly for tomorrow, but last time I scheduled one (for the Baker’s Rack), they didn’t show up and my son-in-law had to do the job. But…I have had successful technician assemblies for other items. So hopefully that “miss” was a fluke.
It is scheduled for first thing in the morning, so I won’t have to wait around all day!
Enjoy your week.

I know I read “Back when we were grownups” but it’s completely gone out of my memory. I guess that happens when one reads too much. I need to get out more but it’s another totally grey and ugly day.
