WEEK IN RECAP

September has just flown by and quickly at that! I want to enjoy the ‘BER months so I’m going to do my best to slow October down!!

Tuesday and Thursday were spent getting a good friend to and from physical therapy, running her errands and trying to get caught up on her yard work and house maintenance.

Wednesday was a close friend’s birthday so we spent the day with her and many other friends celebrating first with lunch and then drinks that lingered into the evening. There was a ton of good food, great desserts and lots and lots and lots more laughter.

Friday I finally got caught up on some paperwork, but I am NOT finished with it… YET…

Saturday we went to a few Barn and yard sales, but only found a few things I couldn’t live without. Also got most of the grocery shopping done, at least until the end of the week.

Sunday… what can I say? Sunday started great and ended up super lazy! I watched football all day and did finish my book though 😀

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

It’s going to be another perfect fall week of temperatures in the 70’s during the day and 40’s at night. Perfect for me 😀

ON MY MIND

Prayers for all the people affected by the horrific hurricane Helene. The destruction caused to human life as well as the infrastructure of the south is unimaginable. I pray for help to arrive just as swiftly as the hurricane did.
