My Friends by Fredrik Backman (spoiler free review) this may be the best...

I almost skipped this on my Libby reads. But I am so glad I let it keep playing. It is a beautiful story of illness, love, and loss. It is gut wrenching.

Culinary Unclothed Cooking Through Grief: An Army Veteran’s Guide To Healing

Chef Tiffany Moore

Grabbed this while waiting for a flight. It reads very quickly. I have probably been apart of at least 50 hours of grief training and Army resilience. The content was very familiar and easy to read. 

Fast like a Girl

Listened to the audiobook Fast Like A Girl  by Dr. Mindy Pelz

I heard about this book and author from Jamerrill

Everything she explains in the book makes perfect sense and Dr. Mindy Pelz

Oh.. Canada

Canadianity : Tales from the True North Strong and Freezing by Jeremy Taggart, Jonathan Torrens

Found this is the free book shelves at the Red Cross.  I read it in just three days time.  I am going to drop it off at the USO shelves. 

I grew up right across the lake from Ontario and have a fond memory of many of the Canadian things they speak of. Not to mention one of my most favorite places / trips ever was a solo trip to Nova Scotia.

Things I want to look up from the book:

Bonavista Social Club in Newfoundland

Manitoba

Quebec - Peep

Hotel de Glace

Brier Islands

Sugar Moon Farm - Nova Scotia

Hopewell Rocks - New Brunswick

May...

May the Lord bless you and protect you.

May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.

 Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image and nourishing us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood. Now send us forth a people, forgiven, healed, renewed; that we may proclaim your love to the world and continue in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.

A books Journey

A few weeks ago I stumbled on a few books that were donated by Operation Paperback.  I saw an older  thin book and grabbed it.  High Altitude Ranch Life by Phoebe Cranor

I enjoyed this simple little book as she chats about marrying a rancher in Grand Junction, CO. Simple little paperback.  It is falling apart a bit. I looked her up and saw that she passed away. Seemed like a sweet mom and grandmother and it showed in her stories.

Book Review

It was locally published in Grand Junction in 1996
