Good morning and happy Friday!
Can you believe this month is almost over? Where did the time go? While we were in Southampton, another massive cruise ship pulled in. It was a P & O ship, I believe, just making a stopover in Southampton/London. According to Google: P&O Cruises is a British cruise line headquartered at Carnival House in Southampton, England. I really don't know much about them, but this ship was enormous! Recently, a reader asked me if I would cruise again (after just making the transatlantic trip), and of course, I said Yes! How about you? Do you enjoy cruising? If not, what are your reasons? Leave a comment~ Cruising a lot different than I expected. I'm glad we have the opportunity to travel this way. Now I must get some work done. Have a great weekend! Speak soon~ Good morning and happy Friday, friends!
It's time for Foto Friday, I couldn't resist sharing this morning's beautiful sunrise. Today: Jan 19, 2024, temperatures are around 11°C (52°F) here in the Atlantic. We have showers off and on, but no storm predicted. #Smoothsailing With approximately 625 nautical miles left to reach Southampton, everyone seems sad for the trip to end. But our journey is just beginning! I have so much planned - I can't wait to share Europe with you~ But in the meantime we are going to enjoy the rest of the cruise. Stay tuned for more updates! Speak soon~ 1st Review of 2024~
Quick Book Review - Thursday Edition: The Shape Shifter by Tony Hillerman
The book is another great Hillerman mystery set in the southwest. The story is well written and there is enough story telling points to make you feel you are riding along with the Legendary Lt. This book is part of a series, but you don't have to start at 1 and read forward. (Although if you enjoy a good story you may want to.) This book begins with retried Navajo Tribal Police, Joe Leaphorn looking into a cold case and takes off in a big and strange way. Hey fellow book lovers! As we begin a new year, I wanted to take a moment to look back on my reading journey in 2023. Last year, I set a goal on www.goodreads.com to read 45 books, and I ended up beating it with a total of 47. In this post, I'll give you a quick rundown of the challenge, share my book list, and link you to some short but concise reviews. A Mix of Reads: If you have been following me awhile you know I read a mixed bag of stuff. This year was no different as I delved into various genres – thrillers, memoirs, and everything in between. If you're on the lookout for some quick reviews or want to know more about specific books, here are the links to a few of my favorites: I read for work, pleasure, to learn and also to escape boredom. How about you? That being said, it can be mad to find new titles that are actually fun to read. Thats why I like the Goodreads community. These are real people reading for fun (not because they are selling something or paid to write reviews). So if you want to connect with some bookish folks, swapped recommendations, and participated in discussions (or not) then join us. If you're into that, hit me up on Goodreads its here: www.goodreads.com and I'm Msoneworld4me there as well. As I gear up for another year of reading, I'm grateful for the good reads (pun intended) of the past year. The challenge was just a number, but the real reward was finding some enjoyable stories. If you've got reading goals or just want to share your latest read, drop a comment below. Here's to more pages turned in 2024! Happy reading! While I typically don't watch much TV, Netflix, or YouTube, taking on this 7-day detox highlighted the significant amount of extra time I actually have. *Who knew??
Shifting my focus from screens to books, I read 7 books in as many days. While I am passionate about reading, I think this detox added a fresh perspective to my reading journey by giving me more time overall to read. Normally I read before bed and or on my days off - so this really highlighted how 2 hours on YouTube/TV really is a time sux. Now, I'm curious – have you ever tried a digital detox? How did it impact your daily routine and habits? Share your thoughts below, and let's celebrate the magic of reading together! ✨ Cheers to new beginnings, joyful moments, and a year filled with endless possibilities! 🎉✨
Hi,
How are things? It was just Christmas, right? This week has whisked by in the blink of an eye – or so it seems. Are you watching our Vlogmas videos? Find the latest one here: youtu.be/N25wijOxVTg?si=yasrsCJkFNwVpJPH I've been uber busy since the 19th, then I was on the road the 25-26th and back to our vacation stay, so it all kind of feels surreal. But I'm happy we are healthy and able to have these adventures. 2020 taught us not to take anything for granted. Okay I need to wash clothes and get to packing we are traveling again soon. I hope you had a wonderful week filled with joy and warmth, regardless of what you celebrate. See you at the airport~ |
