Sat 020726 - 36 ORD Cozy Green Couch w\Buzz - We had a totally lovely date day going to Effingham to the Firefly Grill for lunch. It was SO GOOD with a wonderful atmosphere. Gorgeous sunny winter day. Loved our food & visiting there. We went to Barnes & Noble in Champaign afterwards & enjoyed shopping before coming home. Made it home to enjoy savoring the sunset from the living room & watching more Milan Olympics.

Sun 020826 - 36 ORD Living Room - I’ve gotta say Freida McFadden’s books are growing on me. I think this may be my favorite so far. It was a quick read with a lot of twists & turns I didn’t see coming. I liked the medical & mysterious aspects, & her style of interspersing the present w/the past. Definitely going to check out more of her books. Happy to have a reading life again to keep fueling my curiosity.

Sun 020826 - 36 ORD - We are savoring a quiet & relaxing Sunday at home so far. Another sunny winter day. I’ve made it to Chapter 42, & will finish soon at this rate. We watched the CBS Sunday morning news. There’s still ice on the lake but it’s started melting. Birds are returning with the warmer temps. We have stuff to do today but I plan to take breaks as I go to still feel relaxed by the end of the day.

Sat 020726 - 36 ORD Cozy Green Couch w/Buzz - We are having a relaxing morning. Nice to have some time to read again. We are getting ready to go out for a nice celebratory birthday lunch in Effingham called Firefly Grill in honor of my birthday. It’s a Farm to Table restaurant we are trying for the first time. Totally looking forward to it. Also loved watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics last night.

Weds 020426 - 36 ORD, My Birthday Eve!!!! - I started this last night at bedtime especially since I had to work yesterday evening.. I had a bit of insomnia in the middle of the night too so got up to read more. I thought this book looked interesting & that it would be a more frivolous easier read than Handmaid’s Tale. So far so good, likely a quick one! Great catch up call w/my friend Lowell last night.
