The Sunday Salon was originally started in 2008, but over the years has grown too large to accept new members. They are now a facebook group and open to all. Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with
people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're
seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them, and they're
all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals
as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare
their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....
Past Week - Personal Stuff
First, HAPPY EASTER! Hope everyone had a great one.
This has been a very busy week for me. I took two and a half days off of work, but sadly must return tomorrow.
Last Saturday I took my son paintballing for the first time, as discussed in last week's Sunday Salon post with a cute picture, isn't he precious? Sunday night he stayed over at a friends, and Thursday night I had his two friends over for a sleepover. We went on the opening night to see Fast and Furious 7, which was of course unrealistic but fun. I enjoyed it better than the last one. We also did a small Easter thing today and have had fun in general.

What I'm Making -
I tried a Pinterest inspiration and made deviled eggs dyed in water with a drop or two of food dye instead of hardboiled eggs. Turned out delicious and pretty. Here is the result with my sad attempt at a tomato flower:

Unfortunately only two books completed again this week. Still, I've been especially busy this week with other stuff but think I got a lot of reading done. Have read a few hundred pages of City of Heavenly Fire, which is over seven hundred pages, and finally got back to Brother Ray: Ray Charles story and read about 60 pages of that. Finished Fried Green Tomatoes, and Kiss of Midnight was a whim I started Sunday and finished Monday.
