Welcome to another Weekly Updates post.  My week was quiet, but I did read and review two books.  I did some blogging…and continued viewing Sex and the City, finishing the series.  Then I started on the Crime series that included the O J Simpson trial.

I had lunch out with my youngest son, who was visiting from up north.

Now I am enjoying another cup of coffee, prepared to show some details from the week.

Welcome to another Weekly Update.  I enjoyed two books, read and reviewed; did some blogging; and continued viewing Sex and the City.  I started rewatching Little Fires Everywhere.  Enjoying it! This week, I had several outings as I completed errands via Lyft.  Then I treated myself to lunch at Marie Callender’s.

Today I plan to be lazy, reading and viewing…and possibly ordering dinner from Uber Eats.

Let’s take a peek at the details of my week.

Welcome to another Weekly Update. I read and reviewed two books, both excellent, and did some blogging as well.  I continued viewing Revenge on Hulu…and will probably finish it today.  

Last Friday I took a Lyft to my favorite restaurant to enjoy salmon and creme brulee…a perfect ending to the week.

Now let’s take a peek at the details of the week.

As I sit here with my coffee and oatmeal, I am pleased with how the past week unfolded.  I actually read and reviewed three books, for a change; wrote three blog posts; and enjoyed some outings.  One was another lunch at my favorite neighborhood restaurant, with salmon and Caesar salad.  Not to mention the creme brulee!

My eyeglasses arrived in the mail, and I’m delighted with them.  I may need to go in for a slight adjustment, but I’ll see how the days go.

I also changed up some of my blog headers, just for fun.

Let’s take a closer peek at the week:

Welcome to another Weekly Update.  This week, I read and reviewed two books.  One was a reread, and the other was a NetGalley ARC.  I also started reading a book that I am still reading and hope to finish today: Still See You Everywhere, by Lisa Gardner.

I wrote two blog posts that have become a regular again.

On Tuesday, I went out for a manicure, which I enjoyed, and on Wednesday, I had an appointment with the optometrist and ordered new eyeglasses.  I am looking forward to new frames and lenses!

I finally finished all seasons of The Resident.

Now let’s take a closer look at my week.

Welcome to another Weekly Update post.  This morning I started watching a new series on Peacock:  Apples Never Fall, with Annette Bening and Sam Neill, based on a novel by Liane Moriarty.  I have continued watching The Resident, now on Season 4.

  I’ve returned to a couple of my regular blogging memes, and read and reviewed two books, which I enjoyed.

What a great week!  After I returned from my road trip, I was exhausted…but then caught up on my sleep and started reading more.  I read and reviewed three books!  I did some blogging, too, and started viewing a new series:  The Resident.  Six seasons!  I’m on number three.  I even took a Lyft ride to a favorite restaurant for one of the special lunches I enjoy.

What a week!  The road trip was long, with lots of stormy weather…even some snow!  It was very cold, but the car was warm.  It was great to finally arrive at our destination, and despite the storms, we had good visiting, movie viewing, and food delivered to us.

I loved catching up with my youngest son and my daughter-in-law, and enjoyed being with my granddaughter and her boyfriend, too.

I brought my laptop along and did a little movie watching there, too.

I read and reviewed one book.

Welcome to another Weekly Updates post. I have been getting ready for the road trip for next week, which includes a lot of laundry, organizing, and packing (that will come tomorrow, probably). I also read and reviewed two books, did a little blogging, and continued watching an old favorite show, Parenthood.

On Wednesday, Fiona and I went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday!
