Sunday Post - 02/18/24

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 a pretty normal and good day. Tuesday, we went to my parents' house so they could watch the kids while I ran to have my first mammogram. I have a family history on my dad's side of breast cancer, so my doctor wanted me to have an early baseline mammogram. All was normal so that's good. We got home, and I decided to split what we normally do for school between that day and Thursday afternoon because we've been taking Thursdays off for the last few weeks. Wednesday was Valentine's Day. My kiddos love it because Daddy gives them candy and helium balloons. It ended up being a terrible behavior day. Thursday we had a field trip to the museum of fine arts in our area. The kids ended up really enjoying it. I was worried that my boys wouldn't. My daughter was a given because she loves all things art. Then we went to my parents' house for lunch because we were so close by. Thursday night Little Girl had martial arts and Little Boy had baseball evaluations so we had to go in two different directions. Friday was also a challenging behavior day. It comes and goes, right? But I'm thankful to be home and homeschooling where we have extra opportunities to work on these behavior challenges. Saturday, the temperature dropped here. I did have to do a small Walmart run and we decided to get Chick-fil-a for lunch. The big kids cleaned their rooms which is totally noteworthy.

Goodreads description--From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes a sweepingly romantic tale of risk, redemption, and what happens when America’s most famous outlaw falls in love. When infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy decides to go straight, he discovers that too many of the powerful men he crossed won’t let bygones be bygones. To have a chance at a new life, he’ll have to become someone else entirely. A brief, fateful encounter with the celebrated singer Jane Touissant on the eve of his escape offers a glimpse of what might have been, but Butch disappears, leaving her behind, until their paths unexpectedly converge again in Paris. Despite having discovered his true identity, Jane trusts the outlaw and enlists his protection on her upcoming American tour. Although Butch is reluctant to agree, fearing his sordid past may put the woman and her young son in danger, the salvation she offers is too hard to resist. As they set forth on their journey, Butch’s past and Jane’s secrets put them at risk from threats far greater than the law, and this legend of the American West will have to decide what matters most―his life, his legacy, or the woman he loves.
