It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Thanks for the birthday wishes on last week's post.  I had lots of fun at game day last week.  Even won a couple of games, which often doesn't happen.  And I got lots of birthday wishes.  Between that and my small group from church celebrating a couple of days before, I felt very loved here in town.  Plus, I talked to my family and all of your wishes, which brought the love from out of town, too.

This last week was quiet early on.  We had a winter storm move in and give us some more rain.  And I do mean winter.  Friday, the temperatures never got out of the 40's.  That's cold for us in March.  It can get that low in the winter, but not usual right before spring.

Thursday night and Friday were a change in my routine.  My brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew were in town.  I took Friday off.  The original plan was to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is here in town, but we concluded it was too cold and it was supposed to be rainy.  Didn't sound like a fun day, and the park wound up not opening due to the weather.  So they came over to my place and we played games.  It was a bit crowded in my living room with that many of us trying to play, but it worked and we had fun.  They'd headed further south for a few days, but I'll see them again later in the week.

Pun of the Week:

I didn’t want to believe that he was stealing from his job as a road worker.  But when I got home, all the signs were there.

Book Haul:

Would you believe I just got one book this week?  I know, it's crazy.  Probably the lowest number I've gotten since the first of the year.

The book I got is the audio version of People of Darkness by Tony Hillerman.  If that's sounding familiar to you, that's might be because I got it from the library back in the fall when I almost took a road trip.  And yes, I snagged it from the library again.  But this time, I am going to actually get it listened to.  Honest!  This is the first of his books that introduces Jim Chee, the other detective in his long running series.  I'm looking forward to finally reading it.

What I'm Currently Reading:

I'm almost half way through The Final Draw by Ridley Pearson.  This is a middle grade fantasy series about kids saving the magic in the Disney Parks from the Disney villains.  It's the last in the latest spin off/sequel series, and the author is claiming it will be the last time we visit this universe.  I feel like he's said that before, so we shall see.  Anyway, I'm enjoying it.  The series isn't the best, but it can be fun.  I'm curious to see if my latest theory is going to prove to be correct.

Think that's it for this weekend.  Have a great week.
