Health:  My leg wound is completely healed, and I no longer have to shower while wearing a plastic sleeve on my right leg!  I do, however, still need to be careful about how much I stand.  It's for this reason I've arranged for a scooter at Indpls Comic Con for my long day.

May Reading Schedule: 

Awakening-Dana Fuller Ross Was actually a little disappointed in how this series ended.  It spanned 30-40 years, mainly about India, Frank, and Sally.  I thought Toby and Alexandria perished on the Titanic, only to discover they both die 'off camera'....Toby from a heart attack and Alex from old age.  Eulalia also dies 'off camera', which is a shame.  In the end, Sally ends up staying on the Madrona to keep it in the family. The Great Depression affects everyone, and Sally's husband escapes Nazi Germany.  Now I want to reread the series.  Whip and Cathy die in a rockslide; Sam dies 'off camera', but we visit his funeral. Not sure when Claudia passes....or Dr. Martin and Toni.  Edward and Rasheda die 'off camera'.  What about Hank and Cindy?  Why do we not get to say goodbye to them?

The One and Only-Emily Giffin DRR!  Really enjoyed this!

E-book:

Happy Holidates-Kasey Kennedy RR!  Fun story!

Karaoke Songs:
