Randomness...
- Lunch last week with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile...it was very fun to catch up with her and we even made hiking plans for June.
- I saw an excellent movie last month: Escape From Germany. It's based on a true story, and the woman sitting next to me in the theater turned out to be the niece of one of the missionaries portrayed in the movie, which was a fun coincidence.
- New socks! I know this seems like a small thing, but I really needed new socks and I found some that are both colorful and comfortable, and I'm happy to have them.
- My lilac bush is finally in bloom, which always makes me glad because I love the scent of lilacs!
- And I've got a lovely new stack of books from the library to read this month. Life is good.

Need a laugh?
I love John Atkinson's cartoons! They're smart and clever and funny. And they always make me laugh. Like this one. Be sure to check out his website Wrong Hands to see more. It'll add a little happiness to your day.

Some very sad news...
I learned yesterday that my sweet blogging friend and reading buddy, Melody Lee, passed away suddenly last month from a brain aneurysm. She was such a kindhearted, funny, and caring person. We started commenting on each other's blogs back in 2016, then did our first buddy read a year later. Over the last seven years we read 34 books together. And we had our next buddy read scheduled for next month. She was a dear friend, and I will miss her so much. Please keep her family in your hearts and prayers.
