Welcome to my Sunday Summary. A look back on my bookish adventures for the past week - or so it is supposed to be. This is a catch-up edition. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
My mother fell I'll, and concerned for her overall appearance I took her to hospital. As it turns out she had had a heart attack. 4 days after I brought her in I was able to drive her home. Fortunately she will be fine, but she requires a little more help than usual as she recovers.
Less than a week later, my son's daycare calls to say he hit is head quite hard and was tired. While both I and the daycare felt he was probably fine, out of an abundance of caution I spent the evening at the local children's hospital getting him checked.
After all is said and done, everyone is doing fine now, and while a little stressed, I am extremely grateful.

Ramblings and Miscellany:
Canada Day fell during this period. I settled for a quick visual on social media.
I had planned on doing proper Canada Day postings here and on social media, but it was way sided by my mother's heart attack. I will say, that living somewhere where good medical care is readily available, and will not bankrupt you is something to celebrate!
