What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It’s also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
Both of my kids were moved into college by Thursday night. This is my son’s last year so it’s all like old hat to him. But my daughter… this is her first year, and she’s been barely away from me. She became very clingy to me when the pandemic hit and then we really became best friends when she went to high school. We both miss each other so much! We’ve chatted every day she has been gone. Yes, I need to pull back some and let her become the woman she’s meant to be… but she’s my baby girl! They both start classes tomorrow. I pray they have a great school year :)
This weekend it was just my husband and I here at the house. And the dog lol. We literally did barely anything. We did go out to dinner Saturday night because I did not want to cook. Today we have no real plans either. The weather has been beautiful here and I want to soak up as much of it as I can while it’s still here.
Currently:
I am currently reading Bad Date by Ellery Lloyd. It’s a short story that was available as a First Reads choice. I am liking it so far!
I borrowed a physical copy of Thirteen by Steve Cavanaugh from a friend.
I am listening to The Locked Ward by Sarah Pekkanen. This one isn’t really keeping my interest, but I am halfway through so I think I am gonna push though it.
Just Finished:
My review of The Deceiving Look is on Storygraph [here]. I have not sat and wrote out the review of Guess Again just yet. I did give it four stars!
If you’d like to be friends with me on Storygraph, this is my profile page.
I stopped using Goodreads this year (and didn’t really keep up with it last year) because I want to support a black woman business owner over a white male billionaire.

Trust me when I say you and your husband will get used to being empty nesters. It takes a bit but you will begin to enjoy it. My daughter and I are very close and when she went off to college (and moved to another state for grad school), we talked daily, sometimes twice a day. You will adjust, I promise. Just know they are going to be home sooner than you think. I hope this helps…
Thank you! My daughter is a big texter and she is in contact with me constantly during the day. And then we plan to absolutely talk once on the weekend (when she has down time) but I’m sure we will talk on the phone more than that. I’m sure we will both adjust just fine :) Thank you for your kind words <3
