September (fourth week) 2018 Reads & day trips

Sunday afternoon drive: back roads around Chamard Vineyard area of Clinton, CT (did not go for wine tasting, it's not a good idea if you are exploring twisty, narrow, pretty roads).  A few leaves are already changing and there is a nip in the air but still not to cold to give up on an ice cream stop at Ashley's in Madison, CT.

Thursday drive - a short one to Rocky Hill CT - picked up picnic stuff at West Side Marketplace
and ate it at Dinosaur State Park. No ice cream because the place we planned on has closed for the season. So we had some fruit for dessert.

Reading this week: only finished one book because I'm simultaneously reading two books of short stories and a saga. 

The "Deal Me In" card this week is the Three of Spades; selection is
At the Amusement Park by Jung Young Moon (in A Most Ambiguous Sunday, and Other Stories)

from my shelves....

Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir by Jean Guerrero
A journalist searches for family roots in Mexico.
