I finally visited my Nannys grave and discovered her headstone is wrong. She was more of a mom to me than my own. I personally believe that when we die we become part of the universe in a bigger way than stuck at our bodies resting place. (Which is why I hadn't been before.) She was 96 when she passed. The question is, what do I do about her stone? Do I risk upsetting the rest of the family by bringing it up? Why did no one else notice?
My library hold came in finally 🙌 the foreword was so powerful and has me so ready to learn about this history.
What I'm reading for a mystery reading weekend event. It's been on my tbr list, so I'll be taking a break from wicked. Anyone else do weekend type reading events?
Anything by Billie Letts is a good read.
Genre: found families

III. @wildalaskabibliophile will be driving to Anchorage for a weekend that includes a Beard 🧔, Bacon 🥓 and Beer 🍻 festival, a bazaar supporting a local LGBT 🌈nonprofit, hopefully some good sushi/ramen 🍣, and some “big city“ shopping 😋
pickVery engrossing story of the Osage tribe in Oklahoma and how many were killed to get their oil wealth. Very shocking and something I never had heard about. This is a great nonfiction book and an only partially resolved mystery. Will see film eventually.
pickThis was an interesting story about something I‘d never heard of: the reign of terror on the Osage in the early 1900‘s. It‘s amazing how much we don‘t know about the horrible tragedies against native Americans. It was much more textbook/documentary than I generally like, but interesting enough I kept reading it.
