Before feasting, Nolan and I ran the 2019 Life Time Turkey Day 5K at the Deerfield, OH Life Time Fitness. The weather was great for running, the route was good, and Nolan got a 5K PR!
BR: The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff
It took me about 2 weeks to listen to The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff audiobook. “Inspired by true events”, it’s a very riveting story of the British female radio operators working in Occupied Europe during World War II.
