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.
Another busy week guys. I, honestly, don't even remember Monday. Tuesday my sister and niece came to my parents to spend a couple of days so I took the kids to hang out and play. That was husband's day off so he worked on painting various things in the house. It feels like we're always painting, but we are getting close guys. We ended up staying for dinner even though I wasn't planning on doing that. Wednesday the heat was off the charts so we actually stayed inside all day. We're having 99-100 degree days here this past week and next. Thursday we went back to my parent's to spend time with my niece and sister before they had to go home. I worked on the pool when I got home. We have had the hardest time getting the chemicals to balance this year which is understandable since it was basically sitting untouched from October 2020 to April/May 2022. Friday morning I took the kids shopping with their own money for Father's Day. I love letting them pick out their own gifts for different family events, birthdays, Christmas, etc. It spurs their giving hearts and helps them to think about others. Of course, both children made sure to have a couple of dollards to spend on themselves. Little Girl has been more willing to do her chores this summer so she has earned more money than Little Boy who gets so wrapped up in what he wants in the moment that he can't quite yet see the bigger picture. We grabbed Dairy Queen treats on the way home. And then I worked on cleaning the pool all Friday afternoon. Saturday, we had my side of the family over to celebrate Father's Day, my brother's birthday (which is actually today), and my birthday which is Tuesday. We had pizza and went swimming. It was so nice to have everyone over. This was the first time some members of the family got to see our rennovation. Happy Father's Day to all my favorite fathers! You guys are rock stars.

Goodreads description--Rhianna Davies is well-acquainted with heartache after the painful loss of her parents. At the arrival of her ghastly uncle, she is brought even lower: Rhi has been banished from her family’s estate home and must rely on the kindness of her tightly knit Welsh miners for help. Without the protective love of her parents, Rhi has no illusions that hers will be a happy ending—until an addendum to her father’s will arrives in the hands of a prince.Marc Wilhelm, Prince of Oldenburg, is in Wales with one purpose: to claim his betrothed. A long-ago promise between their fathers forges an indelible link between Rhi and Marc, but there remains just one problem: neither wants to marry a stranger. With no remaining ties to Wales, Rhi agrees to accompany Marc to Oldenburg, where he will forfeit their betrothal so she may have her pick of husbands. But their journey takes them down unexpected paths, from the depths of a Welsh mine to the marriage mart of London to a warm reception in Oldenburg. Rhi and Marc discover that their connection and their challenges run deeper than either anticipated, but whether from their own hesitations or from danger that threatens without, the couple might be thwarted before they can even begin the happily ever after they so richly deserve.

Goodreads description--A heart-stirring romance of star-crossed love, feuding familias, and the bonds of sisterhood by USA Today bestselling author Priscilla Oliveras.Two familias in Texas, both alike in dignity, rivalries, and passion…
Having grown up in the nurturing household of Casa Capuleta, Mariana will do anything for familia. To solve her adoptive parents’ financial problems amid their rapidly changing San Antonio comunidad, Mariana and her younger sisters are determined to win the Battle of the Mariachi Bands. That means competing against Hugo Montero, their father’s archnemesis, and his band and escalating a decades-old feud. It also raises the stakes of Mariana’s forbidden attraction for a certain dark-eyed mariachi who sets her heart racing.
To Angelo Montero’s familia, Mariana is also strictly off-limits. But that doesn’t stop him from pursuing her. As their secret affair intensifies and the competition grows fierce, they’re swept up in a brewing storm of betrayals, rivalries, and broken ties. Against the odds, they vow to bring peace. But sacrifices must be made and consequences weighed for two star-crossed lovers to make beautiful music together.
