Weekending

My weekending included a bit more than I had originally planned.


I flew to Colorado. I had intended to visit Ryan sometime this month for his birthday but hadn't even looked at flights. I find it confusing (carry-on allowed or not, seat choice or not, good base price but too many add-ons, taxes, and fees) and frustrating, but I finally sat down on Thursday night to see what my options might be. I found a good fare, left on Sunday morning, and now I'm here with Ryan. Today is his actual birthday so I even get to bake his birthday cake for the first time in many years!

We don't have any big plans, but I might even get to Knit Night at The Loopy Ewe. I'm sure I'll also eat and drink well, and enjoy spending time with my now 29-year-old son.

Be sure to visit Kym tomorrow for the next entry in our Read With Us book club. I hope you'll read Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption along with us and join the discussion next month!
