Friday Finds for 03 December 2021 | 3 Favorite Things 

Hello and welcome to the Friday Finds for 03 December 2021  edition.

Did you all survive Thanksgiving with your waistline intact? And did your wallet survive Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday?

I did pretty well, bought a new TV and vacuum cleaner, which were both necessities. We hung out here on the farm for dinner with just the two of us. We celebrated with the northern family the weekend before and the rest of the family was traveling. It was a very relaxing day. We watched the parade on the bright new big screen tv followed by football and enjoyed our traditional turkey, noodles, potatoes, vegetables, and pumpkin pie for dinner.

After that, I spent the evening researching who my Gratitude Donation was going to for Thanksgiving 2021. I think I chose well but will keep it private for now. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably have an idea. If you don’t follow me…why ever not? That’s where all the cool people hang out today. Okay, maybe just “my” people. lol

Let’s move on to today’s Friday Finds. It’s all about the threes. Three favorite things I’m loving today.

3 Discussion prompts:

Friday Finds for 03 December 2021 –  3 Books I Want to Read

Autopsy by Patricia Cornwell

In this relaunch of the electrifying, landmark #1 bestselling thriller series, chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta hunts those responsible for two wildly divergent and chilling murders. 

Forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta has come almost full circle, returning to Virginia as the chief medical examiner, the state where she launched her storied career. Finding herself the new girl in town once again after being away for many years, she’s inherited not only an overbearing secretary but also a legacy of neglect and potential corruption.

The Snow Dancer by Addie Boswell

Young dancer Sofia wakes up to a quiet, white world―it’s a snow day! She makes her way outside to the neighborhood park, where a field awaits her, white and shining and open. It isn’t long before the rest of the neighborhood wakes its sleepy head―and the other kids make their way to the park, scattering all of Sofia’s beautiful silence. But with the help of a new young friend, Sofia is ready to show everyone what a snow dancer can do on a perfect day like this.

With lyrical language and gorgeous art, this book sparkles with all the joy and beauty of a snow day.
