This has been a busy week at work with a Big Event and a few smaller events.

I m ready for a quiet weekend.

However, this weekend is our town’s annual Greentree Festival, complete with a parade on Saturday. In recent years I have been content to watch from the sidelines by myself, but I am hoping that the wee babes and their parents will be able to join me on the parade route. What do you think, bud?

Speaking of parades, I read that on September 27 the city of Cincinnati will honor home town girl Doris Day at City Hall. Rumor has it that a street may be named in her honor, there will be a screening of “Pillow Talk” at the Esquire Theater, and a fundraiser for her Doris Day Animal Foundation.  Truly I can’t believe they haven’t named a street after her already. She is certainly one of the best things to come out of that town.

Meanwhile I am still looking for something good to read after finishing all the Longmire books.

For a change of pace, daughter #2 suggested I read Chapters From a Life by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (an early 19th century American writer) and I went online and checked it out from my flyover university library, but it takes a few days to get a book that way. So I must be patient.

After reading this article, I ordered The Stand by Stephen King, so we’ll see how that goes. I have read several SK novels–I liked The Green Mile. They do vary, but I have to admit he is a good writer. 

Well, anyway, I’ll find something…

I got books…Have a terrific weekend!
