LOOKING FORWARD TO september

Hi Everyone 

I'm back. I took a little break from blogging to enjoy the summer and to focus on myself a bit.  I hope all are well.  

I've been still doing improv and I'm looking forward to being in a improv Mystery Dinner show in October.  I have also got involved with another improv group and we've been meeting in person.

My language learning in Spanish is still going good.  I had a recent meetup in person and nothing gives me more of a reality check of what level I am in spanish until i meet people in person vs online.  Let's just say I probably know about 200-300 words.

Otherwise, I wanted to talk about a few shows I've watched recently.  The first one is "The Cook of Castamar" Its set in early 18th-century Madrid, the plot follows the love story between an agoraphobic cook and a widowed nobleman.  This is a great movie and the drama is so intense. It's a little spicy though, but I loved thinking about what life as a noble felt like and status and all that. The other show is "Virgin River" which I had postponed watching forever, thinking I may not like the small town vibe but I got latched onto the characters and the main character's transition from being an LA nurse to a nurse in a small town like Virgin River.

That's my week. Tell me about yours in the comments below.

I fell for my secret pen pal believing we would never meet but now.. he's my husband.Grant Bergeron is Orleans University's playboy first baseman.He's charming, kind... and a tad arrogant. 

I thought this book would mostly be about baseball and I'm not one for sports romances' but I was surprised that the story revolved mostly around the heroine who is struggling to keep her family bakery. The back and forth texting between these two characters and what the mystery of not knowing who each other were, really drew me in. They may have done better by putting both the bakery imagery and baseball on the cover.
