An All's Right with My World Weekly Link Round-Up




If you think that by my saying "All's right with the world" it means I'm back in the pool, you would be correct. Denis worked like a mad man and got the pool cleaned in record time. Now you'd never know that it had been filled with mud and all sorts of debris. Denis also slaved away at raking up and bagging a large debris pile left over from the flood. Poor man! He and his clothing were so drenched with sweat (this is NOT the time of year for heavy yardwork in Phoenix!) that he looked as though he'd fallen in the pool. (He did get in afterwards to cool off.)

Am I grateful? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah....




Since there's nothing to see here (ahem), I invite you all to take a look at the links I've rounded up for you this week!



►Books, Movies & Other Interesting Tidbits◄

►Channeling My Inner Indiana Jones◄

  • Six real-world Harry Potter locations you can visit. 
  • How to visit nearly every national park in one epic road trip.

  • Planning for the future of a park where the trees have one name. 
  • Let's visit The Wild Detectives bookstore in Dallas.

  1. Oh, I'm so glad you got your pool back, Cathy! Everything's just all that much better, isn't it, when things are back the way they're supposed to be. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Mayan tomb to explore!

  2. Glad you are back in the pool and Denis was so helpful.

    I love those birds. They look like doves, but what are they? It's wonderful that you see the birds in your yard and pool area.

    Thanks for the links; I've read a few, have to get back to them.
