I blew through The Paris Wife, even returning it to the library early!
Booksky post. It's a historical fiction novel about Hadley Richardson, the first wife of author Ernest Hemingway. Absolutely enjoyed it. It chronicles their marriage during the 1920s in Paris.

This surprised me, but I enjoyed reading "What we kept to ourselves" way more than "The last story of Mina Lee" (Nancy Jooyoun Kim's debut)
I almost want to give the latter another chance. That said, I blasted through both these books and recommend them. Beautiful stories. ❤️

So happy that Dr. Jessica Lehman took the most votes 🙌! She had extensive district volunteer experience! Also proud to have supported Kara Mehall. D-12 voters holding it down. [Colorado Springs, CO].

I went to the pumpkin patch, I met another kiddo dressed up as Skye & told her "No pup is too small!" Lol 💕 (my kids were Ryder and Marshall, Husband was Mayor Humdinger). This is (pre) Halloween!

My first yard campaign signs in CO 🗳️
Elect Jessica Lehman and Kara Mehall for the D-12 School Board! Why? They have the district experience and imo will meet students, families, teachers & staff where they are.

Great episode 📣! Code Switch podcast: "Voting rights are at risk. Here's why." Worth a listen, in particular, I enjoyed insights from Dr. Carol Anderson.

It's not perfect by any means but I've noticed a good amount of people walking in the pedestrian lane on Cheyenne Blvd with the new lines. No pedestrians pictured. I drive west everyday here with the kids
