Mary's April News and Notes

Welcome fellow readers! Happy Friday! How are my favorite readers today? My April has been busy so far. The weather is crazy, we were having record breaking high temperatures. I had been worried about snow in July. No need, it's snowing today. I'm ready for tulips and sunflowers, not snowmen! Our papa and nana night this month, will be Greek food. I tried my recipe out for traditional Greek Gyro's and it turned out awesome. We'll have a Greek salad and some Greek sides to go with it. I had a few Greek pita breads left over so I did something with them. See recipe below! Tonight is book club at a corner bar. The book pick was The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. I am almost finished. I did not like the characters. It's been a real struggle to read. We have started watching two new shows. The Hunting Party, 1st season on Netflix, 2nd on Hulu. Then Wild Cards on Amazon. We like them both. Now find a place you can curl up with a good book, grab a cup of hot cocoa, a glass of wine, or whatever your preference is, and enjoy!
