Surfing Saturday, April 15th, 2023!

Happy Saturday! Dude, I don’t know why I have to keep learning this lesson over and over again, but dang, the rest is your best friend. Even a little goes a long way. It really is the best medicine.

Little backstory. I’ve been working nonstop since I started new work a while ago (including evenings and weekends), and between that gig and a few other writing projects, I’ve been spending a lot of time staring at my screen. I’m glad to be busy, but it exhausts me a little.

To help me recover, I took the week off to spend spring break with Connor, and oh my goodness, that was just what I needed.

We really didn’t do anything fancy or elaborate but we still had fun! She’s just seven, so it’s easy to keep her busy and happy at this age. She had two playdates, we went to tea, enjoyed a ladies’ lunch with Aunt Marisol and visited the beach. Oh, we also got her first library card, which was very exciting indeed.

I’ve let you check out as many books as you want, and checked out a few for myself, too, including a Downton Abbey cookbook I picked up on a whim. It’s one of my favorite shows! While I have no plans to make steak, kidney pudding, or deviled kidneys, I thought it was fun to look at the photos and read the background behind the recipes.

The library had a lot of new fantasy novels on the shelf, so I got a couple of books by new authors. I just started Black Candle Women by Diane Marie Brown and I’m enjoying it so far. It is about a family of women who practice witchcraft and deal with a curse.
