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 great week, with family activities and outings. I also finished reading and reviewing two books: one was excellent, the second one, not so much. Then I finished a third book today! I wrote five blog posts.
My eldest son stayed with me another two days on the Murphy bed, and we enjoyed some outings. We had dinner at a nearby Irish pub with my granddaughter Fiona and her friend. My son then spent time with one of his friends from back in the day. Hopefully we will end the weekend with more time with other family members.
Now let’s take a closer look at my week:
***
COFFEE CHAT: A GREAT WEEKEND, ETC.
Review: The Fall Girl, by Marcia Clark
Review: Babysitter, by Joyce Carol Oates
Review: Evil Woman, by Julie Mulhern
***
INCOMING BOOKS:
Evil Woman. Country Club Murders #14, by Julie Mulhern
Blowback, by James Patterson
***
That was my week. Another enjoyable one with family time, outings, and even some reading and viewing. At Grogg’s Irish Pub nearby, I enjoyed another dinner with my son, my granddaughter, and her friend. I had the fish and chips.

AN INTERIOR JOURNEY 
Great week, one to be relished and then remembered later as special.
