In this week’s edition of Sunday Snippets 6.22.25…

It was cool when I had supper at Kendra’s house on Wednesday evening. Then overnight, it got very hot. By the way, she made chicken alfredo, which was delicious.

Kendra, Marley, her friend Molly, and I had supper together. Riley had a Zoom class, so he was in his room. Then Kendra and I sat out on her patio for a while, and it was pretty pleasant. She has had very little of her patio renovation done because she only has one steady guy working for her right now. And she has him working on her flip house in Sand Springs.

For whatever reason, it’s tough to get good workers these days. This guy helped her with my hose setup by the front porch. She can only spread the manpower so thin, so she puts off her home projects.

But I believe she’s almost done with the flip house. Then she has work for other investors she’ll be working on.

Office Curtains:

We hung black-and-white checked curtains on the office window. I’ll show you this week.

I’m working on getting curtains hung in every room because the sun is intense coming in from the south and west. Then I’ll be done with projects for the house for the most part.

I have area rugs in every room. That took me months of ordering and purchasing.

I purchased a curtain (green and cream) before Christmas, but I hadn’t figured out where I wanted to hang it. This curtain is 96 inches long, so that particular length of curtain will either be on the three windows in the guest bedroom or the living room. I decide as I get to each room.

What I’m Watching On TV – True Detective

I’m still watching True Detective on HBO. It’s an American anthology crime drama.

The second season of True Detective wasn’t as enjoyable as the first, which took place in Louisiana and featured Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. However, the first season was outstanding, so I don’t think it could be beaten easily.

This second season, set in California, stars Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Kelly Reilly, and Rachel McAdams.

I’m now on the third season, which is more interesting than the second.

I read that the fifth season is in production, but is not expected until 2027. The series began in 2014.

The Book I’m Reading – Single Black Female

Summary:

In the novel Single Black Female, Ivy Donovan is a successful stylist, entrepreneur, and single mom. She has been loyal to her sons’ father, Michael, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence. But life has gotten lonely, and Ivy wants more for herself. Michael, however, isn’t about to lose his family.

Coco Norris is well-off, single, childless, and struggling with her allegiance to emotionally unavailable men. When she finds a man who seems like he can give her everything she has ever wanted, Coco soon discovers she has taken on more than she can handle.

Deja Maddox is a real estate agent who is married to Bobby, a police sergeant with the NYPD. They reject anything that doesn’t fit their buttoned-up, polished life. But Deja isn’t as satisfied as she would like everyone to believe. When Deja’s past returns with a vengeance, her “perfect” life begins to crumble.

Nikki Diamond is a savvy, self-made businesswoman and social media darling who lives large and has no regrets. She’s also Deja’s little sister and thinks her sister can have so much more than her ho-hum marriage. And Nikki is all too happy to lend a “helping” hand to make that happen.

Things come to a head when Ivy’s youngest son, Kingston, is caught up in a polarizing encounter with the NYPD. Everyone must figure out where they stand, including Bobby, who suddenly has to decide if his “blue life” matters more to him than the black lives of those he loves.
