The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things received, and share news about what is coming up on the blog for the week ahead.

School is back in full swing! The break went by incredibly fast, and it seems at the end of it quite a few things popped up that I needed to take care of and no time to do it in. As the week drew to an end, I received a late-night phone call on Thursday, followed by another from my mother the next morning that my aunt had passed the night before. Her funeral service will be in the same church she married in a few years ago, but I want to remember the first time we were there together:

I’m sorry for your loss. That is a beautiful picture.
I loved Kimba’s snicker salad post. It’s a great potluck dish.
