The Sunday Salon is a Facebook group that has become an
informal week in review gathering place for bloggers.
It is also a place to share our thoughts about things of a bookish nature.

A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received, and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
On Tuesday, Mr. Dollycas took Ms. Daisy Mae to the vet for her yearly checkup. Again, she barked at every car on the way there and way back protecting her driver from the cars attacking. The vet says that is part of her breed. She didn’t like the shots, of course, or the blood being taken but all the tests came back fine. A healthy Aussie and this time her weight wasn’t an issue like her first visit but she only had lost one pound. She will like the next appointment even less when she gets spayed and chipped.
Because of the vet appointment, Mr. Dollycas had to make up his work time and we were unable to attend Thomas’s soccer game. He played really well and had a goal. His team won 8-4 and Nana and Papa missed it. He plays again Tuesday and we hope to make it to that one.
Thomas had practice Thursday night and Charlotte and Athena were there to support their big brother. LOL
Friday night found us back under the lights for the first football game of the season. Kaden is now only on Varsity so there is no question that he will play, like last year and MAN DID HE PLAY! I wish we had an instant replay. He blocked a 300 lb guy and basically picked him up and threw him over his shoulder and kept going. You should have seen the smile when he hit the sidelines. I think it was the play before he came inches from getting a quarterback sack. They double-teamed him the rest of the night. A quote from his dad’s Facebook post “Kade had some hard hits and is going to be a real force on defense this year”. He is right. The whole team has some kinks to work out, but I think their future is bright.
Friday night was also Youth Football Night where all the teams from Kindergarten through 8th grade were introduced on the field. Their games are starting soon. Remi is on the 4th-5th grade team and his games start September 9. We also found out when we got there that Remi is one of the waterboys for the Varsity team and he takes his job very seriously. He even made sure the refs were hydrated. This new “job” means he has to be at every game too. I love that is something he and his brother can share.
The icing on the cake for the evening was that Natalie was at the game too. She and her aunt were having quite a discussion on “favorites” when this picture was taken. It was pretty funny. She can make the craziest faces too. Some that remind me so much of her daddy.
Other than that, I read some books, wrote some reviews, and worked on book tours. I also have started to watch a new season of Below Deck Down Under and the competition show The Challenge USA.

All the sports news is awesome. And refs need water too. Have a great week! Here’s my SP: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/08/20/sunday-post-back-home/?fbclid=IwAR0ee_iM4TCMaAnQswsDVj1z5S62JGU1cI8Pw-NCdhfJK48CSa8o2iluVKc
What wonderful pictures, and how proud you must be! You have had quite a week, girlfriend. Mine was lovely, with two bookstore events. The Tuesday Readers book club I belong to met at Rae’s Reads this month, and I made pulled park sandwiches; other members brought the coleslaw, potato salad and all the trimmings. The book we discussed was Radio Girls.
Thursday brought the second family music night, featuring slow jazz and popular tunes by a close friend on the trumpet and his friend on the electric guitar. It was intimate and lovely. Both musicians were former students of My Better Half, back in the day…
What fun!! You had a great week!
I know how proud you are of your amazing grandkids. How lucky you are to get to live close enough to spend time with them often!
A beautiful little reading rhyme. Soothing and calming!
Busy.
Such pride in your family members. I love times with family as is clear you do, too.
It’s so nice how involved you are in your grandkids lives. Very special relationships.
Yay for sports events with grands. i miss going to my son’s Rugby games, but look forward to the grands playing.
Fall sports start after Labor Day here. I love them.
