Sunday Post: Vacation Ahead.

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Thank you to The Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting Sunday Post.

Busy week, and I’ll be going on vacation Tuesday through the following Monday for July 4th.

The windows went in at the house last week, and it’s a sight to behold. Be sure and follow the link to check it out on Doug’s Instagram. He’s Rocks Rest on IG.

I want to thank my grandfather Ed Jenkins for buying that land in the 1930s. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren still live on it. We have a little piece of it. He was a farmer who also worked at a sawmill, and he worked hard to pay off that land. His legacy lives on. Ancestry tells me that not that many farmers in that area at that time owned their land. I’m proud of him.

Hermann, Harold, and I have been hanging out in Johnson City while Doug works on the house in Bryson. I am also still working, but only about six weeks left, some of which is leave! On the 3rd, we’ll all be down there together for a few days.

I’ve been using vacuum bags that I bought on Amazon to store some of the clothes I am keeping. They are handy! You just take the air out of them with your vacuum cleaner and they shrink down a lot.

Fourth of July is coming this week, and I want to thank all the veterans, on Earth and in Heaven, for their sacrifices.

NEXT WEEK ON THE BLOG

I’m doing mini reviews or even one-line reviews of all the books I fell behind on while I was in Germany.

No new books this week as I’m trying to get caught up!

Have a wonderful 4th of July! What are your plans?

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  1. Your grandfather sure worked hard, Bonnie. That’s a really good idea, storing clothes in a vacuum bag and shrinking it down. Enjoy your vacation! 😘

  5. How wonderful about your grandfather and how his legacy lives on! Have a super wonderful, well-deserved vacation! I’ll check out instagram!

      1. I love the window views, Bonnie! You’ve both worked hard and waited a long time for the move. When you’re all settled in, you’ll only regret you didn’t do it sooner:)
