Welcome to Litsy!

#bookoutlet #bookhaul

It's been a tough week with being not well, only to discover after spending the morning at the hospital that I have 4 kidney stones lodged between kidney and urethra. The dr is hopeful I will be able to pass these by myself.
So here are some joys #5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. Poppies blooming
2. Oakley enjoying Poppies
3. My baked goods are selling well at the markets
4. Still managed to bake even with being not well
5. Opening day at new Market

Sat of the SWF combines with the Carriage Works Farmers Markets. I splashed some cash there and caught up with my cousin, Ryan & his girlfriend, Demi who have recently moved to Sydney. My 1st lecture was a panel on baking. All of the women were delightful & a real treat to listen to. See tagged book. I‘m keen to read 1 of Robbie Arnott‘s books, Torrey Peter‘s Stag Dance & Yale van der Wouden‘s Safekeep. There were lots of free lectures today.

Found this beautiful little bookshop today - all cookbooks ! 🥰

1. Book club winery visit with snacks. If you look closely, you can see me in the background at the counter.
2. Free map of Rohan from the game store.
3. Azaleas next to the side door at church.
4. Double header at the ballpark.
5. The website tomanlorenzo.com has given me joy for many years, especially during Oscars and Met Gala weeks.

April Wrap-up
It was a slow month. My dog Rose died, and I was too distraught to focus well. It sucked. I am very sad. I hope I can concentrate better in May. I did manage to read a few good books.

Goat cheese, arugula, and heirloom tomatoes oh my! #DinnerByTheBook

I definitely need to work on my pie dough! 😂

An absolutely charming book! Tanzanian Angel bakes beautiful unique amazing cakes in Kigali, #Rwanda, there with her professor husband teaching in the university. Each customer has a story and Angel learns a lot and shares a lot, and solves a problem here and there. She learns how the neighborhood prostitute got that job 😢 and how the local ladies handle female mutilation. Angel solves marital woes and so much more. She reminds me of Mma ⬇️

It‘s your birthday, @Birdsong28 !!! Woo-hoo!! 🎉🥳

All of us Litsylanders are wishing you a day filled with excellent books, delicious goodies and many surprises! 📚🎂😊 And of course, lots of #birthdaylove.

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Victoria!
