So, here’s what I am loving right now:
Robots - Our Roomba (a robotic little vacuum) sat forlorn in the corner for the last 4 years. *Something* was wrong with it, but I didn’t have the motivation to figure it out. Well, hello tons of free time. After trouble shooting and fixing 3 issues, we are in business. Each morning, when we leave for our walk, the little Roomba gets to work cleaning our main living area. This brings me so much joy.
Virtual Festivals - This past weekend, Longmire Days went virtual. Longmire Days is a multi-day festival dedicated to the fans of the books by Craig Johnson and the TV Show Longmire. We binge-watched Longmire on Netflix. It’s a show set at a Sheriff’s office in Montana near an Indian Reservation. (Did you know I worked on an Indian Reservation as a college summer job?) It was a great show. It was so much fun to see the main actors come back together and share their experiences filming the show. I think Zoom made it even better since it’s like they forgot 500 people were listening as they joked and shared stories together.
Yes, I just showed you a picture of a Zoom. You can check that square off your Social Media COVID Bingo card.
What we are watching: We just finished Battlestar Galatica. It fit with our robot theme. The first two seasons were a bit slow and I yelled at the TV a lot, but Seasons 3 and 4 made it all worthwhile. We are still deciding what our next Binge Watch will be. I think it may be time for Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Downton Abbey.
What I’m Reading: My favorite book from the last week is The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. It’s a story about family, identity, race, and finding your path. Two twin sisters go their separate ways in their teens - one passes as White, one keeps her identity as a light skinned Black woman. 5 Stars. Do Recommend.
Bird of the Week: I’m an official bird watcher now. I have an App and everything. Check out this Sandhill Crane. The Sandhill Cranes are scattered across North America. They like prairies, fields, marshes, and tundra and apparently railroad tracks.
