"The Huntsman's Tale" by Ann Swinfen

I started reading 📚 again last week and found a genre and book 📖 that isn't something I can read and is a DNF for me which is a first. 

You can follow me on GoodReads here, to see 👀 what I'm reading 📚 and my reviews of what I've been reading 📚

Goodbye Gene 😞🫂

I knew something was wrong when I sent a message to you on father's day and didn't hear anything back, then my birthday came and I messaged you one thing about it and then didn't hear anything back, then your birthday came and I messaged you again and didn't hear anything back, so I called and expected to hear your voice, but instead your son answered and told me you passed away the day before your birthday 😞 

I'm going to miss you Gene (EJ Gene Torres) 😞 

I'm going to miss talking about our lives and families 😞

I'm going to miss meeting up with you when you came into town for work 😞 

I'm going to miss your fatherly advice for me when I struggled with life and decisions 😞 

But I'm glad to have been a friend of yours for 18 years. Thank you for coming into my life when you did and being around for me like you were 🫂

Surprise birthday 🎂 balloon 🎈 from coworker today 🥰

So my birthday 🎂 is coming up on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 and I haven't been looking forward to it this year, until last night when I talked to a friend and they said they have a surprise plans for me that evening. So, at work today I was talking about that to my coworkers and one of them surprised me with a happy birthday balloon🎈 before I got off work today 🎈🎂 🥳 

Happy Father's Day 💙

Happy Father's Day to my dad Jerry Sunderland. I'm sorry I'm not there to spend Father's day with you, but I hope you have an amazing Father's day today 💙 

Happy Father's Day to my amazing friend Brian Croxford who has been a huge father figure to me since I met you years ago. Hope you have an amazing Father's day today 💙
