Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

-

This is getting written late in the evening so I could report on the latest World Series results. Went to extra innings and the Brewers lost. Game 5 is Wednesday evening. 

I sort of napped during extra innings as I was tired. So much so that I didn't crochet during the game.  

Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York - very apt title. Other words that might be applied to Andrew and Sarah, needy, greedy, money hungry, immoral, amoral. Book goes into detail on dealings with Jeffrey Epstein and is updated to include early 2026 legal actions. 

Star of the Show: My Life on Stage - This book had been on my TBR list and I got to it just a short time after Dolly passed. It is a thorough look at her professional life on stage. How she got started and all of her accomplishments over the years. One of the interesting things was pictures of ticket stubs over the years. It was interesting to see the price on those tickets! 






 Happy Reading

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

As I work on this post it is before the Brewer's baseball game tonight. So don't know if they won or lost, but they only need one more win to move to the next round. EDITED WED AM - they lost, play again Wednesday PM.  Also, one month to election day. I am so tired of all of the ads and I am trying to watch minimal TV or record things so I can fast forward through the ads.  Just getting over a bad upper respiratory thing. Less coughing and sneezing and I am starting to get good sleep. Still have sinus draining.   Wonderful weather, windows open!  Isola - historical fiction based upon the actual person of Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval. An heiress orphaned at a young age, her guardian spends her inheritance, takes her to New France (Canada) and abandons her when she develops a relationship with his man servant. She eventually makes her way back home, gaining the respect of the Queen of France.  Furious Minds - didn't completely read this book. Outline...

Baseball playoffs are in full swing, so getting lots of crochet done. Not watching every game, but enough. Milwaukee Brewer's start play on Saturday. So far the teams I would like to move on are moving on and a bit happy that the Chicago Cubs are going home.   Dealing with a hacky cough, don't feel super bad, but sound terrible. When I have been out in public I have been wearing a mask so I don't cough on people. Staying home a lot too. Sleeping better the past few days to that helps. Plus my raspy voice is healing too.  Next blanket is made with color Rainy Day from Herrschnerrs. Fitting, having lots of rainy days this week.    Happy weekend.
