Started Easter Day with a piece of leftover birthday cake made my my sister, Lisa (who knows the power of positive chocolate...and brought a homemade Devil's Food layered in the center with Reese's Cups and then covered with Cream Cheese Icing yesterday...OMG), and a cup of good coffee.
Breakfast of champions!
Had a combined early birthday, Sisters Day and Easter Brunch yesterday with Tina and Lisa...and it was wonderful.
Sofi has decided that Lisa is, indeed, her favorite Auntie...lol!
Much laughter, sharing and even answering a few more of the 50 Things All Sisters Should Know About Each Other...well into the evening.
We will be together again, soon, at The Wedding.
And as for Sisters Day in June we have decided to get 3 matching interlocking heart tattoos!
I know, right?
Can't wait!
John and I back (and recovered) now from our own Midweek Getaway.
And it was amazing.
(...it is always amazing and an adventure...)
An early birthday brunch at The Rusted Silo & afternoon...and we have found our Home Away From Home Suite.
We have dubbed this Our Room anytime we are in the area.
(...nope...we aren't leaving...we like it here...)
And the Scent du noir was Peach.
Fresh peach candle...oil...lotion...and homemade Peach Cobbler!
Sofi & Giz would have loved it, too.
There was a pond nearby with about 30 Canadian Geese on it...talking to each other until the sun set.
(...30 geese talk a lot...)
And how can you be The Kahleesi the night before and look like a member of the Dothraki Horde the next morning???
But I digress...
This Week's Book:
Remember Cathy?
She was often a mirror revealing our hopes, dreams, relationships...and often just our lives.
In her novel she does much the same. A talented, witty, honest-to-a-fault at times look at the ADULT years.
A must read...if you loved Cathy all those years ago...this is the rest of the story.
And last Sunday at 9 PM...the RETURN of Game of Thrones!
Kind of bittersweet.
This is the Final Season.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Only 6 Episodes...although a couple will be 80 minutes long.
And last Sunday we waited...becoming Rainman
"Only 8 minutes until G.O.T."
true story
Loved the opening scene with the long line of Unsullied parting as they entered Winterfell to showcase Jon Snow and Dany arriving on horseback!
Perfect.
And Sansa who is less-than-thrilled at the arrival of the New Queen.
And the rest of the Northern Houses and Bannermen who are also wary.
And The New Queen...who is starting to sound a bit annoyingly entitled herself.
The first episode of the new season...more of a meet and greet. Bringing a lot of characters together. Some for the first time. Tying up some loose ends as they prepare to face the White Walkers together.
Aladdin and Jasmine had their magic carpet ride...Jon and Dany have their own, and seal their love on the backs of flying dragons.
(...even if one of the dragons is eyeing him like he might be a future crunchy snack...)
Letting Theon save Yara.
Reunion of Gentry, Arya and The Hound.
A grisly reminder of what the Night King is capable of as we witness the end of the Umbers.
(...poor Ned..goodbye Umbers....)
Revealing to Samwell Tarly that Dany (well...her dragon) executed both his father and brother.
(...and Tarly's amazing acting job...)
Euron Greyjoy brings the Golden Fleet as he promised...and gets a bit of Cersi in return.
Tarly reveals Snow's true linage to him...and Jon's completely stunned.
Jamie has arrived at Winterfell...and the first person he locks eyes with is Bran
(...who now knows, as the Three Eyed Raven, that Jamie is the person who shoved him from the tower all those seasons back...making him a cripple...)
Awkward.
And now we wait....again...
"Only seven hours till Wapner...er...I mean Game of Thrones."
Kudos to Johnnie Walker who has jumped on the G.O.T bandwagon with
Limited Edition Johnnie White Walker Scotch
And the Actual Mueller Report given to Congress this week.
Surprisingly not terribly heavily redacted.
And it is scathing.
Appalling.
I'm only 170 pages in at this point
(...it is 488 pages long...)
Barr's 4 Page Summary was much more than a joke...it was a lie and a boldface attempt to defuse the situation for Trump (and several others)
Elizabeth Warren is already asking for impeachment of Trump...regardless of whether it will ever pass the Senate.
After reading under half of the report,already, myself...I can not see how Congress can do anything but impeach at this point.
And Barr should be forced to resign or be removed.
He is not acting as AG but just as another "fixer" for Trump.
