LAST WEEK RECAPPED

Happy day after the Super Bowl! I understand they are trying to move the Super Bowl to the 3rd weekend of February in the future so that people will already have Monday off after celebrating their team (win or lose) too much on Sunday night. So sorry Jean that the Chiefs had a really rough day! My friend Lu won the silent bid for the Chief’s jersey we auctioned off at the Eagle’s (no pun intended) so she modeled it in your honor, despite the vibe and the score at the time we auctioned it 😀

It was a SUPER busy week! Sadly 🙁  it began with the passing of my favorite uncle, who was more like a brother. In the end, pancreatic cancer won. He passed quietly surrounded by his loving family. My cousins have been rock stars taking care of him and my aunt through this ordeal. 🙏 Prayers for them as they continue to adjust to this new world. My aunt and uncle have been raising two of their grandsons from another cousin who are both older teenagers now and this has been extremely difficult for them especially.

I worked Tuesday night during line dancing at the Eagle’s, did the shopping for 2 businesses on Wednesday and then did fundraising events Thursday through yesterday and have a meeting tonight before this week turns into a copy cat of last week. I hate these back to back weeks of non-stop events.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

BRRRR it’s wet cold again! We didn’t get enough snow to do much though it’s quite pretty in the surrounding mountains still. Today through Wednesday we’re supposed to have highs in the 30’s and lows in the 20’s with Rain to Snow beginning Thursday. So, LOTS of layers are still on the foreseeable future with UGGs, sweaters and flannels.

TO DO LIST, APPOINTMENTS & PROJECTS

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING I had been so busy last week the laundry piled up, but I was able to get most of that done when I got home from Saturday’s event. GROCERIES & ERRANDS My shopping is up to date, but I do have quite a bit to do for the Eagles this week. I also have a pedicure appointment early tomorrow morning. RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I have a pile of recipes I’ve chosen for the next 6 weeks, but now need to arrange them and make a final menu plan.

DVR/TV TIME

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

STREAMING We’re about 11 seasons through BONES. I’ll be sad for it to be over. CABLE The DVR has plenty to choose from, but now for the time to play catch up 🙂 THEATRE We went and saw FLIGHT RISK one rainy day last week. Seriously low budget, but psychological thriller. Honestly I expected more from the movie.

READING TIME

I just started PICTURES OF YOU by Emma Grey. I really hated the last book, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by Lisa Jewell for book club! I want this one to be better!

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA

One of the fundraiser events this past weekend was for a Create & Sip. It was a rather disjointed event (unlike our normal) and I spent a lot of time away from working on my picture. I’ll try and finish it later this week. It still needs a lot of fine tuning, but I think it will get there. 😀
