Summer reading

I enjoy sitting in my lounge chair on the deck and reading a good book. I finished "She's Come Undone," by Wally Lamb and Pursuit by Karen Robards. Robard's book is a page turner, but I was disappointed with the premise of the book. I read the why and thought, "Really? That's it! How disappointing!" "She's Come Undone" is not a happy book, but it takes place from 1952-1985, so the music, toys, events etc. were familiar. I lived through that time period. Now summer is winding down and I have decided to read less and experience more. I am going to try new things and reach out.

Yesterday was a very sad day. My son's 11 year old chinchilla passed away. I remember him hopping on my son's shoulder, nibbling on papers, eating raisins as a special treat. We laid him to rest in the poppy garden with stones and small logs to mark the spot.

A bad virus is going around at the store. My coworker was alone 'til I came in and then I worked by myself 'til close, because two people were home sick. I am trying to avoid getting sick by washing my hands.
