Welcome to Litsy!

1. After my adventure at Second Story Books last weekend, I went to my favorite winery where there was a Peruvian food truck. Inca Kola, chicken sandwich, and yuca fries. Plus they have finely started bottling Sauvignon Blanc.
2. New sun shirt from Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
3. The Nationals finally have a sponsor patch on their uniforms, and it‘s AARP 😂
4. Blue Diamond wasabi & soy sauce almonds are delicious. ⬇️

I always enjoy Ann Patchett‘s book. I love the relationships that develop often in tense situations. A great book for a wet windy winter day❤️
And a visit to a small rural bookshop near me. So good to see independent bookshops thriving!

I really enjoy nonfiction when the author travels, meets new people, and learns about new cultures. MacQuarrie follows the Andes through Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina to research the Ice Maiden, Pablo Escobar, Hiram Bingham, and so much more. He uses today's issues, such as bringing back ancient weaving and interweaves it with the archeology of yesterday's events. The entire book kept me glued. #FoodandLit @texreader @Catsandbooks

One of my issues with reading challenges is that the list usually changes before the metaphorical ink is dry. For example, I ended up reading The Spy Coast early, so I replaced it with Road Fever which was rec‘d by a friend after I made the list. There was some cursing involved in making the original collage, so I‘m not updating it! #14books14weeks

Anyway, this was a little dated but informative and interesting (once they finally hit the road).

Current read, next selection for book group. #FirstSaturdayReaders

Yesterday, once we seemed to clear the weather and traffic, I remembered I had this book on my phone from Libby. Good choice for a road trip!

It‘s also a good choice for #hyggehourreadathon because there‘s something very cozy to me about armchair travel.

My husband made chicken cordon bleu for dinner, and it was delicious! Now I‘m settled in with my book and the Yankees-Dodgers on TV. Trying very hard to ignore the news.

3. Last Friday: program on aging which included a cooking demo, peonies seen during my walk at the lake, town hall with my congresswoman.
4. She liked my USNA shirt. Annapolis is part of the district as well as where she lives.
5. Cookout on Saturday. More in comments.
