March Wrap Up

I don't usually do a monthly wrap up, but I see them on other blogs, and I always do one mentally, so since Kathryn at Book Date has decided to host a gathering of all the monthly wrap ups I thought I'd join in. I've included a link to those that I reviewed on the blog.

In general this has been a good month. MUCH less snow than February, at least I can get to the mailbox now! My nephews put out my deck furniture, so I all ready for the first semi-warm day. I'll sit out and read all bundled up if I have to. I finally gave up on my AppleTV and got a Roku. It is so awesome! That AppleTV was constantly freezing in the middle of shows. I also got a new computer when the old one just stopped one day. It was only 4 years old and I had taken good care of it as far as updates and such. I ended the month spending the weekend with my niece and doggy nephew while my sister and BIL took the twin boys back to Philly for the new term. We watched Mockingjay, ate junk, and played on our devices. Cooper was a very good boy, sleeping on the pillow right next to my head.
