Welcome to The Sunday Post #108! The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. See rules here: Sunday Post Meme. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
My Week:
Happy Father’s Day to all of those celebrating today. I know this day can also be a difficult one for some so please know I am thinking of you.
It’s been a nice week. The weather here has been what we expect for June with primarily sunny days. On Tuesday, my hubby and I took my parents out to lunch and a bit of casino fun and we all had a great time. I attended a Dr’s visit for my Mom on Thursday and all is well from her recent eye surgery. Her second eye surgery was booked for August. Dad’s follow up appointment for his latest surgery is later today (Saturday) at which point he can finally have his two dressings removed. Tomorrow I’m planning a family dinner to celebrate Father’s Day.
What I’m Watching:
I was excited to watch the season premiere of “Alone” on Thursday. For those of you who are not familiar with this series, it’s a History channel reality show where ten wilderness survivalists are each placed in a extremely remote location (this year the setting is above the arctic circle). These contestants face bone-chilling cold, icy landscapes, and intimidating wildlife for a chance to win $500,000 cash. Here is the Season 11 trailer:

I can think of several people who would love to watch Alone. Thanks for the heads up on it.
I keep waiting and waiting for the new Katherine Center book. Will it ever arrive?!

I’m behind on book reviews again and need to read your review of Pardon My Frenchie! Yeah, with losing my stepdad it has been painful all the father’s day emails and commercials I keep seeing. Even still having my birth dad who I am going to spend time with today. And then I feel guilty if I say anything about having trouble with father’s day and he would hear it. So it’s been a weird time. Hope you have a nice dinner today!

I hope your Father’s Day went well. And it sounds as if both your parents are recovering well – fingers crossed that continues. It sounds like you had a good week, health issues notwithstanding and I hope the coming week is also a good one:).

I hope the Father’s Day dinner went well! I am so glad your mom’s appointment went well and I hope your dad is as well as can be after his recent doctor’s visit. Alone does look like fun! I sure wouldn’t want to be on the show myself though. LOL I hope you have a great week!

I agree – I would not want to participate in Alone!
