It's Gonna Be Busy! Weekly Link Round-Up

 

It's going to be a busy week here at Casa Kittling, so I'm going to write my intro to the links here on a sunny Sunday afternoon before I stretch out with my book (Jane Harper's Exiles).

Between a grocery delivery, laundry, pool maintenance, housecleaning, and other chores, there will be plenty of activity here on the old homestead, but Denis and I will also be keeping Phoenix Paratransit busy.
 
How Denis and I get around town.

Denis has a medical procedure scheduled, and it's one of those types of appointments where the doctors insist that he has a keeper, so I'll be going with him. I plan to have a book and my needlepoint with me to help the time pass quickly... or as quickly as it ever does in a medical setting.

But the best part of keeping that paratransit van busy is going to the Desert Botanical Garden on my birthday/our 21st anniversary. I definitely have to make sure my camera batteries are charged for that! Later in the evening, we'll have dinner courtesy of The Cheesecake Factory.

Boy howdy, are we ever looking forward to this! I love my house, but it's good to get out to Want To Places (as opposed to Have To Places).

Thank you, as always, for the cards and letters. I certainly hope all is well with you and yours. Enjoy the links!

  1. Yes, very glad you and Denis are keeping the paratransit system busy, and that you are going to the Desert Botanical Garden. Not only you and Denis love those trips, but we readers of the blog enjoy the photos. Hope Denis's medical appointment goes well. Sounds like you are well-prepared for that endeavor. Will read the links later on, but I see several I must read. Keeping up with the book banning is wearing, but I like to see the pushback by librarians and students and others.
    Have fun! Look forward to the photos.

    1. We enjoyed the time in the garden, but not that many photos were taken, so I'll be sharing them in future link round-ups.

  2. How nice that you two will get to visit the Desert Botanical Garden! I'd love to see it again as it was a highlight of one of our visits to the Phoenix area. Good luck with Denis' procedure and glad you guys have a 'ride' there and back. Enjoy your Cheesecake Factory meal!

  4. The Mesoamerican cultures have fascinated me ever since a course I took in college about cultural anthropology so thanks for that link. And I definitely think that Yellowstone elk had to right response for his tormenters. Thanks for all the links. I'll be visiting more of them in coming days.

    1. I remembered that you, like me, have a fascination for Mesoamerican cultures. I'd like to give that elk a hug, but I have enough sense not to even try.

  6. I made good use of both my books and my needlepoint-- although I did get some strange looks from other people in the waiting room. I guess they'd never seen anyone ply a needle before!

  7. Happy Birthday!! Here's to a year with fewer Have Tos, and many more Want Tos of all sorts.
