Happy Friday links

7-9-21

Hey readers,

Well, we’ve made it through another week. Why is it a short week at work always seems so much longer than an average workweek? I hope your plans for the weekend will keep you busy having fun, with some reading thrown in for good measure.

Four of my six grandchildren are in a play this weekend, The Sound of Music. I’m really looking forward to seeing it. The oldest two have acted with this youth theater company for several years, and the youngest two, just the last year. This play is the first and most likely the last time the four of them will ever act together as the oldest two will be going to NY City in August for their Freshman and Junior years of college. The youngest two will continue acting as both enjoy performing and being the center of attention.

Now, some links for your reading pleasure and a few to make you smile.

• Persistence and perseverance, it does eventually pay off

• The newest addition to New York City, so many great features about this (NY Times, paywall)

• A throwback to a simpler time

• Gorgeous, and instructions are included if you are so inclined

• She does homeschooling, children, and books well

• Gas up the car, I’m ready to go

• Interesting, I do have several sets from relatives even though I’m not a collector

• It doesn’t hurt to dream

• My friend Michele and I do a buddy read of sorts; here’s how

If you are new here, welcome, and you can catch up on the archives here.

Here’s hoping you have a fantastic weekend and can sit and relax and read a little. I’m still working on two of the four books from last weekend that I wanted to finish reading, and in the meantime, I’ve started two more books—such problems in a reader’s life.

Happy reading!
