Miscellaneous ~

• I only read one book this week, "Whisper Network" by Chandler Baker (another Reese Witherspoon book club pick); it's a light suspense mixed with harassed women (and what they put up with at work) and a spreadsheet of men that have done the harassing. I was worried it was going to be a little too 'political' or 'preachy' or something like that because it's such a hot topic nowadays (#metoo movement, etc) and there's enough of that going on in real life that I don't really need to read about fictional harassment -  but I really liked it. She jumps around a lot, which was a little confusing, and it was a little longer than it needed to be - but overall a good read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• had what I'm now calling "road lag" (instead of 'jet lag') this week - I was beyond exhausted and didn't do much of anything. Finally after enough downtime and sleep I'm back to my normal just mildly tired self LOL. Now I will finish the unpacking and settling in after our 6 day road trip. 
• Wrapped presents for 2 days at Paul's Photo - so much fun wrapping for other people since all my gifts were wrapped before the road trip. And I don't have to put it all away which makes it a win-win for me!

Our neighbor put up these new squirrel feeders and let me tell you, Sarge is in heaven. He makes us walk by this every morning, he sits down and just watches them! If a bird lands on the feeder instead of a squirrel he barks to scare them away 😂

Have a great Christmas week - I still have a couple more things to show you in time for the holidays so check back often to see what's happening at camp this coming week.

Sincerely ~
