Sunday Salon...September 16

This photo of Mt. Rainier was taken sometime during a winter since there is so much snow on it, but you get the idea of the view I see as I drive around the area around my home.

Weather:  
Sunny and warm.  Simply beautiful. Mt. Rainier is in full view.


This past week: My job consisted of checking out textbooks every period, all day long.  I only succeeded in filling out two small book orders and one supply order. This next week I will actually be a librarian again meeting with classes, giving an intro to the library.

Yesterday. I finally went grocery shopping. I think my family was beginning to wonder if I every would again. It is never my favorite thing to do, but after a day a textbooks I couldn't face the grocery stores after work. I had to wait for a week-end.

Today: We move my youngest daughter back to college. It is likely to be an all-day affair. I am going to miss her so much.

Book(s) I've finished this week:
  • The Elegance of the Hedghog by Muriel Barbery...I read this book several years ago, so I decided to listen to the audiobook version. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it in this format but eventually the exquisite story took hold and I loved it as I did the first time. 
Currently reading/listening to:  
  • Insurgent by Veronica Roth, the sequel to Divergent.  I am STILL reading this. The slow rate at which I am reading this book has kept me from fully enjoying it.
Scripture Lesson today: 

I'm praying for: Our church as we have to find a new music director and we know it won't be easy.

From the kitchen:  In addition to not wanting to grocery shop I haven't felt like cooking either.  But I did manage to make a dish with Israeli couscous and mangoes that everyone thought was pretty good.
