It is nice to have that, and I am glad Wyatt will have that with my niece. My other cousins we saw less frequently, maybe just a few times a year, but we are still very close with them. :) So sometimes it is not about how often but the quality of the time spent. :)<br /><br />The sun is shining today!Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-44731291484941533342016-04-12T05:16:57.687-07:002016-04-12T05:16:57.687-07:00I am so close with my cousins, it is nice that my ...I am so close with my cousins, it is nice that my son has my niece, and how awesome for your son and nephew as well. 2 years seems like it would be an almost perfect age difference. :)<br /><br />The sun is out this morning - hopefully this is a good sign for the week!Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-24128364627783269992016-04-11T11:20:49.565-07:002016-04-11T11:20:49.565-07:00I'd like to try out that cozy mystery!

I'm hope for better things this week though! <br /><br />Ah - it's always lovely watching little ones play with relatives. My son and my nephew are 2 and a half years apart in age, but they still play together so nicely. It's interesting seeing how the dynamics change as they grow. <br /><br />I hope you're able to work through some of your Netgalley books this week.

We often read the same fiction books, but not necessarily at the same time or even in the same year, so this is different. I really want to read that book by Dylan Klebold's mom, although I am sure I will sob. Hulu just had a mini-series of 11/22/63 - it was really well done!<br /><br />I love my archaeology class - I'm with you, I love all these 'ologies. I don't know if you listen to podcasts, but I just started doing it. It is easy to have them on during the day and they are generally short. They have whole categories of shows devoted to the 'ologies. :) <br /><br />Thanks Rita!! It just keeps popping up for me lately - it is definitely something I ruminating over. Lol.

It's been a bit of discussion over here.<br /><br />It was pretty interesting! It is a whole series, with different cities and countries. We just had to watch Egypt, which was fascinating.

My hubs and younger daughter-- no pleasure reading, ugh! But after a lifetime of only reading nonfiction, I've gotten my son to read a few fiction titles in the past couple of years. He read Under the Dome, two John Grishams, The Martian, and now reading 11/22/63. Currently he is trying to get me interested in his nonfiction books. Maybe I'll give one a try and might be surprised and enjoy it. I do like an occasional nonfiction but his are not ones even remotely on my radar.<br /><br />Our weather has been moody, going from very warm to gloomy and misty just this month. I can't blame the weather though, no snow here. I love archaeology/anthropology/sociology lol, all the -ologies! I would like that Egyptian show, will look for it. Our family watches shows like that together anyway.<br /><br />As far as your calling as you stated above, you help kids find and enjoy books, you are a great mom, and you help out animals :)'nuff said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-39948946242081404592016-04-10T19:50:56.226-07:002016-04-10T19:50:56.226-07:00This week has been terrible, at least weather wise...This week has been terrible, at least weather wise.
