Greetings all, I hope you’re enjoying a peaceful Sunday with friends and or family. I’ve been slacking off a bit so the February list might not be as long as it usually is.

Things are still a bit behind here at my house. My wife had some robotic surgery done 2 weeks ago to remove a benign growth removed from the front of her spine. I’ve been playing nurse for the last 2 weeks to help her stay comfortable.

I’m working hard to catch up and the future months should look really good. So here’s is my February offering and I hope you find something new and interesting to grab your interest.

Sorry for being late. That two week road trip took a lot out of me. Brooklyn to the Blue Ridge Mountains to my brother in Atlanta (4 days there). Then we did a run to Charleston S.C. where we visited some museums and took day trips on a tour bus. From there we did a day in D.C., this time on a 4 hour tour bus and then walking on our own to look around the area. Spent the Sabbath there and then got back on the road on Sunday to visit an elderly aunt and uncle in Silver Springs before making that last push home to Brooklyn.

Right now we are in the middle of a complete demolition and reconstruction of our bathroom. Wouldn’t you know we’d find leaks in the ceiling when the room was torn apart. We started this job on Monday and had to wait till today for the Co-Op plumber to inspect it. We’ll probably have another three days till it’s attended to. In the meantime my plumber put in all new brass piping and the electrician came in today to upgrade the wiring for my new lights and dimmer switch.

I hope the books I’m showcasing this month will entertain you as much as my construction problems have. LOL
