The Saturday "7" - Road Trip Edition!

Whoa! It's been three weeks since my last blog entry! Oops! Sometimes I have nothing to say, and sometimes I forget it's Saturday, but I'm back and better than ever with an epic recap of our Spring Break Road Trip. Buckle up! As a refresher: we decided to go on a 4 day road-trip to some Midwest hot spots so Lucy could get in the last of her driving hours before her 16th birthday in May.  Day 1: Columbus, OH We left at 8:00 a.m. and Lucy drove us for two hours before I had to go to the bathroom. It's always me who has to go. This is one of the reasons I hate road trips. My bladder is the size of a pea. The drive to Columbus was supposed to take 5 hours, but it took more than 6 because of stops and because Lucy drives the speed limit. But we were prepared. The kids brought all kinds of things to entertain themselves, and I had gotten a few games to play. Downloaded Netflix shows and Fast Food Sign Bingo Crochet This game is called "Shotgun" and was a lot of fun!...

I chose Villanova to win it all and they got out in the first round, so that's all I have to say about that. 3. I read three books this week Where Only Storms Grow by Alyssa Colman - a very clean and interesting middle grade novel about the Dust Bowl. I read it all in one sitting. Neverending Mercy  by Latisha Sexton. This one is frequently recommended in the Christian fiction community, and it's gotten rave reviews, but it just didn't do it for me. I listened to it on audio, which is always less enjoyable for me, but I still didn't love the storyline or the writing. The Huntress  by Carrie Cotten - another ...
