With two weekdays off in a row this week, you'd think I"d have made some headway in sewing those carrier covers, right?
Nope.
The hubby took both those days off and hijacked my "weekend."
I did finish a book...
I think "literary" is the word used for a book like this - it uses fancy sentence structure and just seems a little full of itself at times. Which usually turns me off. This time, I didn't feel like I was wading through mud, but rather reading a story.
A middle aged (maybe?) man is searching for his mother. He has travelled many of the places his father travelled before he met his mother and then after (with her, of course) as well. Their travels span Mexico (her home), a good part of the United States and finally back to Ireland, where the father is from.
The story finds us with the man and his elderly father where it switches between him caring for his father and the story of his parents before he was born. Strange that the story is not told by the father, but seems to be remembered by the son (narrator). Perhaps he is reciting family lore, maybe he is remembering things he learned on his travels looking for his mother (she left when he was a young boy).
I'm halfway through the next and enjoying it thoroughly. I'll tell you more next week!
In other news, I baked a cake - I had some lemons and yogurt that needed to be used up sooner rather than later - but it was not so wonderful that I'm going to share it. It was edible, but I'd make some tweaks if I were to make it again. Which is unlikely because there are 40000000 other recipes out there that if I have lemons and yogurt leftover again, I can use those instead.
And there was work.
A wedding.
A funeral.
Kitty snuggles and reading.
Time to go sew!
Happy quilting and reading and baking things I don't fully share about,
Katie
