It's Monday! What Are You Reading? July 25, 2016

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

As this post goes live, I should be enjoying the Black Hills. I hope it's not too hot -- we are tent camping. We'll see how that goes. I am really not much of a camper but hubby loves it so I figure he's gonna owe me big time!

I probably won't be posting much of anything this week. I'm not taking my laptop and I'm not sure what the wi-fi will be like there anyway. I decided I'm just not going to worry about it. I'll concentrate on reading and having a good time. Everyone have a good week and happy reading!

Vacation update! We have a time set and a destination! We will take off next week and go to The Black Hills. It's just a jaunt east to west across the state of South Dakota for us. We love the mountains but Colorado is a bit far for us. The Hills are a nice substitute and it's really pretty out there. I am already thinking about the quality reading time I am going to get in. Hubby likes to fish and I don't but I sit and enjoy nature, with a book in my hands of course.

It was a tough week saying goodbye to a dear friend. Cancer sucks! And then life goes on, doesn't it? One day at a time. I had a full weekend and saw some of the kids and grandkiddos. That always makes the days better. Hubby and I are trying to plan a vacation this summer but the weeks just keep slipping away and it doesn't get planned. Hopefully we can find some time to get away soon. Have a good week everyone and happy reading!

This past week has been rough one. A very dear, dear friend of mine passed away on Wednesday. She has been living with cancer for 9 years and finally her body said 'Enough!'. I have known her for 18 years and we met because of books. When I moved to town and didn't know anyone, I would sit in my car during my son's soccer games and practices. Sometimes the Huskers football games were on the radio too, so there was some multi-tasking going on. Well, anyway, Kris noticed me reading and came over and introduced herself. She figured we could be good friends since we both loved to read and that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. We actually started a book club together with some other friends and The Book Bags have been meeting every month for over 10 years now. Through her, I met a lot of other wonderful women whom I now call my friends. She is going to leave a big hole is a lot of people's hearts. Please keep Kris in your thoughts this week as we celebrate her life and say our final farewells.
