Weekly Roundup: Pet Friends, “The Afterparty,” “Brothers & Sisters,” Literary Chickens, and Summer Transitions

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in with our furry family members. Terri's dog is making friends, and Catherine's are making enemies.<br /><br />What we're watching: On <i>The Afterparty</i>, this week's episode, "Sebastian," was a heist caper, complete with double-crosses, switcheroos, and high-stakes Connect 4 games. On <i>Brothers &amp; Sisters</i>, "Prior Commitments" brought us another wedding, and another secret sibling?!<br /><br />Catherine's library find this week is a heavy, expensive-looking coffee table book featuring black-and-white portraits of chickens accompanied by quotations from literary classics. How are the two connected? <a href="https://www.abbeville.com/products/literary-chickens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Literary Chickens</i></a> leaves that up to the reader.<br /><br />In the archives, we revisit chats on the <a href="https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-emptying-nest-take-two" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emptying nest</a> (August 12, 2021), those <a href="https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/episode-228-those-little-kid-days" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">little-kid days</a> (August 13, 2018), and <a href="https://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/episode-80-summer-transitions-and-a-parenting-pop-quiz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">summer transitions</a> (August 7, 2015). <br />​<br />We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday.
