This is a picture of my Mom in 1947. She was 16. She died in 2020. Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven Mom! How I would love to chat with you just for a minute. My Mom was joined in Heaven by her sister yesterday, as my beloved Aunt Bonnie passed away. She was so full of life and will be missed so much. Those are two great mothers who set the standard for our family.
I haven’t had much time to post because I’ve been watching my three grandchildren, ages 8, 4, and 4 for three days. They go home tomorrow. I am exhausted. I haven’t even had time to read. I was trying to explain to my 4-year-old granddaughter that she can’t stay up til 10 because I go to bed at 9! She’s supposed to go to bed at 8:30 but was constantly getting up. The joys of grandmotherhood!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there!
LAST WEEK
It was a quiet week. I participated in Sunday Post and reviewed Blackjack by Gail Meath
NEXT WEEK
Thursday I am participating in a blog tour for Austenprose Book Tours for The Late Mrs. Willoughby. This is the second Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney mystery series. The son of the Darcys and the daughter of the Tilneys team up for another murder investigation in this wonderful cozy mystery series. I loved the first book, The Murder of Mr. Wickham.
BOOK HAUL
I didn’t pick up too many books last week. I was approved for the audiobook of Identity by Nora Roberts and St. Martin’s Press sent me a widget for The Porcelain Maker by Sarah Freethy. Click on the covers below to learn more about them.
How was your week?
