Quote of the week

Books
I have finished my group of five books.  It is time now to choose my next five books. 
Which one should I read first? 
I put that question out to my Facebook friends and here is the order of my reading mostly based on their response.
1-Watching You
2-Obsessed
3-Tears of Salt
4-At the Wolf's Table
5-Lights All Night Long


Spending Time with Jane, Josh, and Erica.
I have watched Jane a lot this week.  She is such a sweetie.  She has never been a loud crier until now.  Jane has discovered the art of fighting sleep and boy does she fight.  Once you get her to fall asleep she wakes up happy and refreshed and she gives you her beautiful smile.  It is hard to hear her cry like that.
This is me after much screaming by Jane fighting sleep.  Jane is finally in a deep sleep and I am recovering with a nice glass of wine.  Life is good:-)
             

 Caleb and Maggie
Caleb turned nine and we had a party for him last weekend.
He is such a great kid and I am so proud of him.
Caleb received a laser tag set for his birthday.  What fun

Movies
My movie of the week was "Wrinkle in Time."
I recently attempted to read the book.  It started out interesting to me about a young girl sleeping in the attic and a storm is coming and she is scared.  Then it takes a turn to time travel and geometry of which I have little interest.  I did not finish the book but I thought let's check out the movie.  For me the movie was good.  The science-fiction aspect I could do without but the message is a very good one.  Many of the themes and quotes brought tears to my eyes.  So, in that regard, I need to give it a high score plus the father in the movie was adorable:-)
                       
                                 
                                    

TV
This week I continue to watch re-runs of Mike and Molly.  It is a cute sitcom with some great actors.  I really enjoy the banter.  I would probably give it a PG rating.  Fun show.



Books Books Everywhere
I have a book problem.  I have so many books and very little storage space for them.
This is just a sampling of my to be read books that I have no storage place for.  I have more I have not unboxed as of yet.  

I decided I needed another bookcase.  I went on Wayfair and here is what I ordered.
I should get it early next week.  I will have to adjust everything in that section of my bedroom.
On that wall area, I plan to have my reading chair and the bookshelf.  After I get that arranged I will add some wall art.  It should be fun.  I am hoping to film most of my videos in this location.
The hard part will be putting the bookshelf together.  Although I have put many things together such as other bookshelves, a large wine rack....I can do this!
Out and About
Years ago I discovered a grocery store that I loved, Wegmans.  When Steph and Josh were living in Quantico Va they would visit the Wegmans near them.  When Caleb was born I stayed up there for a few days to help Stephanie and I would shop for them at Wegmans.  What a great store.  
Happy Day a Wegmans has opened near me.  Let's go check them out. 
This place was packed. It was a Saturday and it is still a novelty here in NC plus it is a very nice store. I love their floral, wine, bakery, and prepared foods dept. What fun!

Places-Hiking A Linville Falls Trail in North Carolina.

I honestly can't tell you the name of the trail that Erica and took on our hike.  You go to the Linville Falls Visitors Center,  turn left, and take the path down.  After doing a bit of research, I think it is the Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail.  It is a more challenging trail then the hike to the right of the visitor center, although that one is lovely. I have done this hike a couple of times.  Always fun.  Just in case it is Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail here is some info on that hike found on  Asheville Trails Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail "The hike departs from the Linville Falls visitor center, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 316 ( view maps and driving directions ), hanging a left in front of the visitor center. The trail splits almost immediately at a signed junction: the Dugger Falls Trail veers left, and the Plunge Basin Overlook and Gorge Floor Trail turns right. The hike follows signs to the overlook, trailing e...

Travel Blast From the Past-Linville Falls Winery in the Mountains of NC

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website. "Family owned and operated, Linville Falls Winery is the culmination of a life-long passion for wine by owner, Jack Wiseman. Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina. Nestled in the lower end of Avery County near the Blue Ridge Parkway is a state of the art tasting room...
