HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!! I hope everyone’s day is happy, fulfilled and surrounded by loved ones β€οΈ. And in the meantime… some early bird book releases!! π
THREE THINGS:
1.) We had family over on Saturday for a cookout! Smoked brisket (delicious and my favorite!), roasted potatoes, “pig shots” (made in the smoker too. Those are a piece of Kielbasa sausage, wrapped in bacon and spicy cream cheese to top it off – we topped a few with a slice of jalapeΓ±o on top, too), plus salads and pies and it was a full house but a happy one for sure. π
2.) I think we might just do it again tonight (have another mini reunion), but this time, homemade chicken enchiladas and also using the rest of the brisket and turning that into brisket enchiladas, too. And Spanish rice. YUMMY!!! Very excited about that.
3.) In anticipation for guests on Saturday, I cleaned the whole house, finished all my laundry, and we did all of our groceries for the week, so now… it’s just going to be a relaxing reading day for me. π

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell <— NOT A NEW RELEASE BUT MY MAN LOVED IT! He says it’s an amazing TRUE STORY about survival and sacrifice and it’s WAY BETTER than the movie (I like his style lol!! π ) and he says some made the ultimate sacrifice for country and each other.

He also says it would make a great Father’s Day gift for next month. π LOL!! He already has it so it wasn’t a hint to me. I’m thinking something for his smoker (like a special temp probe that connects to wifi or something) Shhhhh… don’t tell him.

Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me…”

Why are there empty numbers without a book suggestion in this list? Surely THAT many books weren’t removed.
Those are just placeholders that I wasnβt done filling inβ¦
Now they are all filled in.
Your man is right, Lone Survivor (the book, I never saw the movie) is great! My husband read it (he hates reading) and loved it so I had to read it, too! Iβll check out Only the Dead to hopefully entice hubs to read again. Also your brisket stories made me crave brisket tacos. Theyβre the best! Please tell your man thanks for the recommendations!
