We’ve gotten so much rain lately. I really would like just a little snow instead. But my bay windows have been completely repaired! Finally!!! They finished Wednesday, and it was a very happy occasion.
On a sadder note – my grandmother passed last weekend, and I learned (for myself anyway) that when a relative has lived a good, long life (97+ years in her case), my feelings are truly mixed. Her life definitely should be celebrated, and I know she is happy to be back with my grandfather and her sister, who was also her best friend but she was my last remaining grandparent.
My grandmother was a feisty woman who spoiled me rotten and always had all my favorite foods on hand whenever I came to stay with her. We watched movies together, ate bologna sandwiches with Pringles and Strawberry milk, and ran errands all around town. I felt honored to be her “favorite oldest granddaughter” (something she always called me).
So, that was my week – how was yours?
Five NetGalley widgets were emailed to me this week, and I took them all. It’s a little bit of everything genre-wise.
An action/adventure and a romcom – I enjoyed them both!
Both the newest Mission Impossible and an original, Upgraded, are on Prime right now, and I just had to watch! I’m so glad I did too because I liked both of them. Just like I enjoy these genres in books, I also enjoy them in movies. There’s nothing like consistency.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I’m so glad you have so many wonderful memories.
I’m sorry for your loss, but happy that she got to live such a good, long life.
Sorry about your grandmother. It’s a great comfort though that she had a long, good life. I haven’t watched the latest Mission Impossible, but I tend to enjoy them as well. Good entertainment.
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. Your memories sound amazing.
That’s such sad news about your grandmother but so good to have those memories. Great news about your windows too. We were supposed to have some snow on Thursday this week but it just rained all day. I think our part of England is just turning into one giant puddle.
Your NG widgets all look really interesting. Hope that you enjoy them.
I’m so sorry about your Grandmother, Tessa. She lived a long life. We will be getting some snow later in the month, we always do in February. I hope your week is better, Tessa. 🤗

My condolences Tessa, sending hugs ❤️❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your grandma sounds like a wonderful woman.
Yay, for your windows!!! Yeah, we’ve had a lot of rain too but I loved the warmer weather the last week. We were outside so much but now all our allergies are terrible! lol. I’m so sorry about your grandma! She sounds awesome and it’s always so sad when they go, even if it was a long and happy life. Lots of hugs being sent your way! <3

p.s. I would also love some snow as we have had tonnes of rain!
So sorry to hear about your grandmother, Tessa. Sounds like you have some wonderful memories of her. We also watched Mission Impossible (for the second time) and I’ve been seeing ads for Upgraded. Think I’ll give it a try.
I’m so sorry about your grandmother! How very cute that you guys ate boloney sandwiches, pringles and strawberry milk!!!
Both those movies sound goooooooooooooooood! Tom Cruise!!!! How I love him! Upgraded…fake it til you make it is how I got my current job so I’m a total believer in that concept. Ha ha. Her career is way more exciting than my simple desk job though.
