This was a pretty laid back week. John and I went to a party yesterday afternoon that was nice. Today I sat by the pool and yakked with Mellisa, then John and I went to the movie theater to see \u201cVerity.\u201d It was fun – I haven\u2019t read any of Coleen Hoover\u2019s books, but I may need to because this movie was pretty clever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chatted with Lea and Rachel last Sunday afternoon, then on Saturday I had a good long visit with Stacie who recently arrived in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. I had some back and forth with a former employee about her bidding and wrote a letter of recommendation for another former employee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
John and I watched the three \u201cStar Wars\u201d movies from decades ago. They actually held up pretty well, and it was fun to see them after watching (and enjoying) \u201cAndor.\u201d We watched a decent series called \u201cHis and Hers\u201d and started \u201cWar,\u201d which looks like it will be a fun series. We were happy that a new season of \u201cSlow Horses\u201d came out. Hooray for good tv!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finished reading \u201cHeartwood\u201d and enjoyed it. Now I\u2019m reading \u201cDrive your Plow over the Bones of the Dead,\u201d by Olga Tokarczuk (I love the title). It\u2019s a bit of a denser read, but I\u2019m enjoying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
