Back at April
The month began with snow and ended with snow. At least, in both cases, it wasn’t an accumulating snow, but by this time, I’m usually mowing the lawn (not that I’m complaining, mind you). The month also had other highlights, for example, beginning with my wife Kim’s birthday and then ending this past Saturday with Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon. I started two new features here on the blog: What We’re Watching Wednesday and Saturday Snapshots. I read six books for the month, with the best being All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. Our favorite movie this month was Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and our favorite TV show, Santa Clarita Diet.
On constant play on my phone was this:
Forward to May
I’m looking forward to warmer weather in May, which is supposed to start later this week, as early as tomorrow, getting up into the high 70s (Fahrenheit), and a four-day Memorial Day Weekend to end the month as I added on a vacation day to the end of the weekend. In the middle of the month, I plan on visiting my mother for Mother’s Day. As for books, I’m looking forward to continuing reading James Herriot’s works, with All Things Bright and Beautiful up next, and then All Things Wise and Wonderful. On Netflix, we have second seasons of Dear White People and Riverdale to look forward to and for movies, we both are looking forward to Deadpool 2. I haven’t seen Avengers: Infinity War but hopefully will this coming weekend (Kim’s not interested). On the music front, I’m looking forward to new albums by DJ Koze and Beach House, a song from the latter which I’ll include to wrap up the post:
So how was your month of April? Read any good books, seen any good movies and/or TV shows, listened to any good music? What was the highlight of your month? What are you looking forward to in May? Share in the comments.
They scheduled a volleyball tournament for my daughter Memorial Day weekend so that pretty much kills the weekend for us. BUT, I will never complain about an extra day.

No. Agreed.

I didn’t know you were coming Mother’s Day. Thanks for the warning. I’ll go down the day before 😉

Connor is coming home for the summer on Wednesday of this week, and he wants to go see Infinity War with me. Since I am so far behind in the Marvel universe, he has agreed to sit with me as I go on a Marvel movie binge to get caught up before seeing the latest. Plus, there is Solo to watch towards the end of the month. I’m just really looking forward to having him home, having some more help around the house, and talking with him whenever I want – especially since his friends don’t get out of school until after Mother’s Day!

I saw Solo was coming too. Not as excited about that as I am for Deadpool 2.
