LAST WEEK RECAPPED
Last week was a bit of a blur as I worked hard to get all my Eagles and Offyce shopping (and they were BIG shopping weeks! – my car, a BIG SUV was SUPER full!) done and work shifts (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) before leaving Friday on our long weekend at the beach which was glorious (COLD, but glorious) by the way!
While we didn’t have snow last Tuesday like so much of the rest of the country (Houston, New Orleans, Alabama, Florida beaches…), but we did have the largest power outage in the country and on our coldest day yet this winter. Our bird bath has been frozen solid for over a week!
We got home yesterday in time for the last football game – YAY for Jean as the Chiefs try to break a record of back to back to back Superbowl wins. I have all the laundry from last week and the trip to do as well as get some groceries shopped for and the house cleaned. I’ll be working again this week on Tuesday night and making the dessert for Friday night as well as the Eagles and Offyce shopping all over again this week so am just going to jump in and finish this post quickly so I can get going even though the temperature outside is only up to 18°.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
It’s still SUPER COLD! The rain is returning at the end of the week and our first SNOW is forecasted for the weekend! This is just how SNOWMAGGEDON began!

READING TIME
Trying to finish LILAC INK THE KNOCKNASHEE STORY by Jean Grainger. We did start Hang the Moon by Jeanette Walls on audio while we were gone, but that didn’t get very far. I have one to start for book club this weekend, but I hate that it feels like a class assignment so may be skipping this one.

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA
It was such a packed weekend that I’m just making a collage of some of my favorite foods, scenes and activities. The picture with the odd guy in it was really funny. He was a window washer and he only washed ONE window out of twenty. We guessed that someone reserved that table for a special dinner that night and paid extra to have it washed 😀

I always “see” the books I read! lol Have a great week ahead.
The picture collage was great. I loved the colorful sea lions(?) It looks nicer there than here. It’s been freezing here.
Hello my gorgeous Friend
Your weekend away at the beach looked like it was so wonderful! Sorry for the cold temps. We sure have had our share of them here too – but it’s finally been letting up a bit.
Love that apple pic and message. So true!
And I absolutely suffer from ADCD!! Lol Now I know what to call it.
Blessings on your week ahead and stay cozy! xoxo
COLD didn’t make it any less beautiful and fun! 😀 Have a GREAT WEEK MY FRIEND!
I love the picture collage. Your area is so beautiful! Hope your snow doesn’t turn into too much. And that it gets a little warmer for you. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you! Warmer won’t happen for a few months, but as long as the snow is only moderate I’m good with that. Have a GREAT week.
