Life Adventures for Miles

This week, I fell into old habits starting new projects without finishing the ones before. Luna's adventure today was digging dirt, making mud (with a castle or 2 each) and then creating a muddy pond for her ducks (with, of course, the 5 little ducks song played d out). Then I had some mom's night out at Chili's (I even got a side order of raw bell peppers for free! Woot! Woot!) and the Luna had a night pigging out on Chick-fil-A and playing with her daddy. Fun for us all!

 Today was...well I don't know what; maybe from yesterday's book, the appointment  Tuesday, the nursing refills, or just plain life (ie everything above plus more) we all needed a quieter day normal adventure day (screens, pups, blocks, etc.) Luna is really not liking the more humid-hotter days-especially when she equates moisture/wet with rain outside and it just...hovers.

That led into a few dozen rounds of "rescue me" in which we had to rescue each other in different ways (mostly jumping holes or walking on the bridge gaps between the two sides). With Popeyes and

It starts with the birth mother's narration of the day that that kick-started the rest of the book. I'd say the true main character is Nina. She is adopted and the last of her adopted family has died and now she is floundering around about where she belongs and who she belongs to. From there, you see her deciding to go on a journey to find her birth family. She has no luck with the agency (or not strictly legal luck) but in the midst meets a younger sister who she knew from going to school. Her sister, Lindy's adoptive story was different but while she has the husband, the kids a fulfilled career, and still full and obnoxious adoptive family, she is also...finding herself-especially when she meets Nina and is sort of co
