Monday Musings No. 172
Good morning friends, it’s Memorial Day. I hope that we all take a minute out of our day to thank all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country free and safe.
How was your weekend? We had a great weekend, thank goodness we have the day off today because I am tired. Although the forecast said it was going to rain we never saw a drop. It was beautiful and sunny Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday.
We went to the pool, and the beach club, spent a few hours watching polocross which was so interesting, as I mentioned it is a cross between polo and lacrosse. The horses were beautiful and the players were amazing. You need a lot of strength, mobility and dexterity to hold and swing a net on a stick, while simultaneously holding the reins of a horse, blocking, “running” and racing said horse.
The car show was very cool and I am not a “car person.” My favorites were a vintage convertible Mercedes, and a fabulous green one seater Ferrari Monza that costs somewhere between $1.8-$4 million dollars!
On to +5 Things!
1. Read~Other People’s Summers
In school, Milly Beckett and Nicole Raven were as close as sisters. Now, years later, a gulf separates them, and not just because of the different spheres they inhabit. Nicole is a global superstar with the world at her fingertips, but when scandal breaks, she turns to the only person she trusts.
Fresh from a painful divorce and struggling to balance her work and raising her daughter alone, Milly is tempted to refuse her friend’s plea for help. Nicole wasn’t there for her when she needed her most, and that’s hard to forgive. But Nicole is desperate and Milly agrees to give her the sanctuary she needs.
Against a stunning Lake District backdrop, stilted small talk gradually gives way to soul-deep revelations as the two women slowly find their way back to one another. Living with Milly gives Nicole a glimpse of a different path for herself, and Milly starts to see a life beyond her divorce, including the possibility of a new romance. But Nicole can’t stay hidden forever—and neither can the secret she’s been keeping from Milly, a secret that threatens both her future happiness and the fragile bond between them.
