A quick post today as I’m currently wrestling with my photo software, trying to figure out if I need to upgrade or not.
We hung the plates on the side of the pantry. We used disc hangers, which worked really well! If you want more info about them, let me know.
A larger view, thought not the clearest photo. They’re just above the red and white checked chair. I’ll take a better picture soon.
We went to the bookstore yesterday as Don had to pick up some books that he’d ordered. I drove, as he’s still not feeling tip-top. Above, you see a photo of me eagerly entering a bookstore – one of my favorite places to be.
My stack. The book on top is a gift from Don. He read it a while back and is now a huge fan. He’s giving copies to a couple of his friends as well.
I just read about Elaine Sciolino’s new book, The Seine, the River that Made Paris yesterday. I read a brief excerpt. And there it was, at Oblong Books. In fact, we just missed hearing the author, as she did a reading for the bookstore on October 30th – our major jet lag day. Consequently, my copy is signed.
Two more books by Anthony Horowitz, as I really like his writing style. And the first volume of Karl Ove Knausgaard’s memoirs, which have been on my radar lately, Knausgaard somehow miraculously appearing everywhere I turn.
I have more books than I can count on my TBR pile already. So I’m going to blame this on Don for suggesting we go to Oblong to pick up his books.
Yes. That seems fair.
Honoring Veterans today, especially – for me – my father.
Happy Monday.
