We just got back from dinner at David’s parents’ house. We took over baked rigatoni and hung out with them and his grandma for a while.
Week’s Highlights:
Yesterday we went to my brother’s to celebrate there of their kids’ birthdays. We had a fun afternoon. Their kids are adorable.
Reading:
I’ve been reading Murder on Pointe by C. S. McDonald. It’s set in Pittsburgh, with the murder happening after a performance at the Benedum. I always enjoy reading books set in places I know.
Playing:
We played Sagrada again this week and Lords of Waterdeep, which might be one of my favorites worker placement games.
Looking forward to:
We’re picking Amber up for Sping break on Saturday. It will be nice having her home for the week.
This is the project she just finished for her icon painting class:
What an amazing painting. She should be so proud. My daughter-in-law has painted a beautiful icon. It was a wonderful experience for her.
I love to read books set in places I know, too. I especially like to read about a place when I am in a place.
Have a lovely week!
Glad to see you were able to comment this week. I don’t know why things are wonky one week and not the next.
I’m thinking about picking up a couple of books that take place in Charleston and/or Asheville before our trip in the fall.
I like settings I’ve been to as well. That is a beautiful painting.
I should read more that are set locally.
Good weekend. Thanks!
Thanks for feeding us.
It’s always fun to spend time with family. Enjoy your time with Amber – her talent really shines in that painting.
We’ll have a nice week, I’m sure. I think she’s ready for a break.
I’ll have to mention the games you play to a friend of mine who’s into games, although knowing him, he probably already knows them.
That icon is very well done by your daughter. It definitely looks like it could be hung in a church or a home.
Is this a new theme on your blog? Whether it is or not, I like it. Very clear and minimalistic which I like. I often read your blog in the feed reader so don’t always see the theme here…or maybe don’t pay attention to it.
It’s not a new theme, but thanks!
I think the painting will definitely be a conversation piece. My brother is hoping she’ll sell it to him for his office.
