Lazy Day

Happy Saturday/Day after Christmas!! How is everyone today??

Yesterday was a relaxing day here in our household...well it was for the humans. Our four dogs had a wonderful time running around in new snow, and just being hyper all day long.

This morning I’m curled up with my coffee and fresh baked stollen from @minotsdailybread and I’ll finish reading The Switch. I can’t thank @waggingwithwords enough for this fun book. It has been delightful, cozy and light read. I adore the characters. Eileen is superb, and her parts are probably my favorite ones. She is classy, funny, interesting, helpful, a good friend and a great grandmother.

💬What is your favorite memory from Christmas/Christmas Eve?

AOTD: My favorite memory was spending Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day with our wonderful friends. I spent hours laughing and smiling, and I needed it. Plus I learned a new game called Codenames. I think I may have teared up a few times due to all the laughter as we played.

Synopsis: When overachiever Leena Cotton is ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, she escapes to her grandmother Eileen's house for some long-overdue rest.

Eileen is newly single and about to turn eighty. She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen.

So they decide to try a two-month swap.

Eileen will live in London and look for love. She’ll take Leena’s flat, and learn all about casual dating, swiping right, and city neighbors. Meanwhile Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire: Eileen’s sweet cottage and garden, her idyllic, quiet village, and her little neighborhood projects.

But stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected. Will swapping lives help Eileen and Leena find themselves…and maybe even find true love? In Beth O'Leary's The Switch, it's never too late to change everything....or to find yourself.
