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.
Monday was Memorial Day here in the US. I didn't have any family members who died in service, but I have certainly had several family members who served in the military that have now passed away. We were able to spend a good part of the day with Grammy. She cooked lunch for us and the kids got to swim a little. Husband's friend from Taiwan that was visiting left for the airport also Monday morning. Tuesday we just had a family day since it was Husband's off day. We set up the slip and slide for the kids because the pool water is still too cold for us all to get in. Wednesday, I scheduled a playdate for Little Girl and a friend from school and softball. We took the kids to the park. They were having so much fun that we transitioned to Burger King because they have a playplace. Thursday, I took the kids to my parent's house. It's always nice to get to visit them. They're both retired, and they're trying to get their house ready to sell so they can move closer to us. Friday we went for a walk and got the slip and slide back out. Saturday after we walked Husband got in the pool with the kids while I got lunch ready. Baby Boy was flipping out for some reason. I don't know if it was still too cold for him or if he traumatized himself when he jumped in last Saturday and it was so much colder. Either way, he didn't stay in long. We've got about two weeks before we're having a family party at our house so I'll be focusing the coming two weeks on prepping the house. Thankfully I did a lot of things a week or so ago that only get done seasonally and won't need to be repeated.

Goodreads description--Cassandra Vail has but one objective at the Kellens’ ball: she must secure a proposal from her eminently suitable suitor. Instead, she finds her best-laid plans thwarted by another man―the handsome and thoroughly vexing Mr. Harwood. Thanks to his meddling, Cassandra is faced with an unthinkable consequence: her parents take matters into their own hands and betroth her to a complete stranger.Tom Harwood meant only to deter a debutante from pursuing his friend. He wasn’t supposed to be entranced by her. He certainly wasn’t supposed to flirt with her. And he especially wasn’t supposed to engage the wrong woman entirely. To make matters worse, he’s offended Cassandra and before he has the opportunity to make amends, he finds himself the latest unwitting victim of the meddlesome Matchmaking Mamas. His parents have signed a contract for his hand in marriage, and it seems his mysterious betrothed is as opposed to the union as he is.
When the reluctant couple finally meets, they are shocked to realize they are not strangers after all. Can one miserable beginning be overcome, or has their future ended before it even begins?
That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
