Yesterday was a busy day. I accompanied Far Guy back to our home in the woods, I kinda rested there while he went to his Infusion appointment. My baby brother sprayed for ants outside for me. I got to pet Baxter and Smudge and then I relaxed in my recliner until Far Guy came back and then we drove the 2 1/2 hours back to East Grand Forks. I did well in the car but appreciated the rest at home…I also had a nap in the car on the way back.
We got back just in time for July Book Club the book was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
I give it a 4 out of 10 for subject matter and the writer an 8 out of 10 because it is well written. The gals mostly agreed.
We had a quick supper and then we played POOL with Sadie to tire her out after she had a quiet day sleeping at home! It was a hot day the high according to the car was 91 F.
After reading the book for book club we should all be doubly thankful that we live in the United States of America! Happy 4th of July!!

I read that book years ago and remember I cried a lot but not much else.
ReplyDeleteYes, despite our problems, there is no place else I'd rather call home. Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteAnother hot one today. Happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a book to skip.
Wearing Sadie out always sounds like a good idea--lol! :)
Happy 4th of July, Connie. I'm glad your car ride went well yesterday. Each time I broke my back, riding in the car was so hard for me to get back into. Even the slightest bump made my back go crazy. So I avoided it for months. I'm so happy that's not the case with you. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don’t enjoy books that make me sad anymore. I doubt I’d enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to check on your home base. Happy Independence Day.
I'm glad you tolerated the drive OK. That was probably worrisome. I do appreciate living where I do, but sure wish people were kinder and less "political" right now. I worry a lot for our future with so much hate in the world.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you returned home for a nap :) little steps are progress! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteI've read that book. I agree with you---we are blessed! Very! Happy 4th
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth! We are indeed blessed but freedom is not free and comes with a price! We continue to pray for healing for you both!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth of July to you and your family and the dogs!.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to you and your family. Yes, I am always thankful that I live here in the US.
ReplyDeleteResting is healing. Glad you got to visit home for a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that you did so well with the trip which, unless I misunderstood, meant 5 hours in the car ( 2 1/2 hours each way).
ReplyDeleteYes five hours total.
DeleteWhen my daughter was in college, "The Kite Runner" had just been published. She was on a committee to choose a beginning of the year book, and The Kite Runner was the book chosen that year. Not only was there a great large discussion of the book, but the author himself was at the discussion, gave a talk and then answered questions. It was his first book and I thought it was wonderful, although at some points it was difficult to read. I read A Thousand Splendid Suns but don't remember too much about it.
