Sunday Post - 04/03/22

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Ball games started this past Monday. Little Girl's team did not do as well as they did during their practice game a few weeks ago. We didn't keep score, but they definitely lost. However, Little Boy's team killed it. Little Boy is just naturally athletic, and Little Girl has to work a little harder on these skills. Tuesday, the big kids had dentist appointments. No cavities. YAY! I took Little Girl to school to check in and then went to the house to work on painting and various tasks. Wednesday, I worked at the house between Baby Boy's morning nap and getting Little Boy from school. Thursday, Little Girl lost another tooth. I think this was her 6th tooth. She's been losing them left and right. It seems like as soon as one comes out another one gets loose. It was also Little Girl's team's turn to "volunteer" at the concession stand at the ball park. I went to work that for two hours. And then Friday, Little Boy's game was cancelled due to some kind of damage to the field they were scheduled to play on (we'd had bad weather Wednesday night), but Little Girl also had a game. The coach told us the score was 4-2, but we lost. Even still the girls played so much better than they did on Monday. Saturday ended up being a rough parenting day. Have you ever had those days where one person is in a bad mood and it radiates out to everyone else? Well that's kind of what happened. And even though I kept trying to reset the day and we did have some good moments, it was overall a challenging and difficult day. Also, Friday was my nephew's birthday. He doesn't read my blog, but I'm wishing him a happy birthday all the same.

Goodreads description--Brody McQuaid is a broken man, and he knows it. While his body survived the war, his soul did not. Besides loving his little niece, his only other sense of purpose comes from saving the wild horses that roam South Park. Ranchers in the area have taken to killing the horses, which are competing with their cattle to feed on the open grass.

Savannah Marshall is a veterinarian on her family's Colorado ranch. She longs to keep her father happy following the tragic death of her older brother, including marrying a man of his choosing. But days before her wedding, she gets cold feet and disappears to South Park. As she learns more about the destruction of the horses, she joins Brody in an attempt to save the wild creatures. But when Savannah's family and the resentments of the area cattlemen catch up with them both, Brody and Savannah will have to tame their fears if they've any hope to let love run free.
