April 13, 2023. Book Suggestions

Another hot day...high 80's to 90!  Way too early for those temperatures.  

It seems like it happened overnight, but this morning I looked out and saw tiny leaves had opened on all the trees around the house.  Yesterday, none.  Today, every tree!

I am still working on the patio.  I seemed to have packed the part of the big umbrella that screws into the ground in a miscellaneous place.  I will have to look at all the boxes in the garage to see if I can find it.  Without that, I won't be able to use the large umbrella!  Wish me luck!

I am on my second book in the Ladies Number One Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith.  This book is called Tears if the Giraffe.  I have to say that I really love the series which is unusual because it's so different from the mysteries that I normally read.  It's a bit of a glance into a culture that I am completely unfamiliar with.  I am listening to the books rather than reading them and this has only enhanced my appreciation of the series.

Another book I am currently reading is a non-fiction book by Katherine Ozmen entitled Grace without God: The Search for Meaning, Purpose and Grace.  I had put it down for several weeks but picked it up again this week.  The book is also about parents who have left their religious upbringing but now wonder how to educate their children with the same ethical behavior that the parents learned in their early religious training.  Very interesting.

Enjoy the rest of your day...

Talk with you tomorrow...
