What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day!

ReplyDeleteI have a mammogram scheduled at 7:30am and the hubs has to work, so I'll spend the day doing laundry and cleaning the house a bit. I have some sparkling grape juice a friend gave me that I might open. Neither one of us will make it to midnight, and an ice storm is predicted for New Year's Day, so we'll be holed up inside. If I'm smart, I'll make some soup!
