LAST WEEK RECAPPED
Last week went by way too quickly, AGAIN. They did a fundraiser “paint and sip” on Friday before my dinner that I wanted to support, but just couldn’t bring myself to paint because the picture chosen was just too juvenile and flat out hideous in my book (it was a snail on a mushroom in the moonlight) so my friend who owns the paint and sip brought me a different one to do at home (it’s in my favorite photos below) and I prepped for mu dinner instead. I cooked my LAST dinner for the Eagle’s on Friday and am looking forward to some serious down time! This week I’m going to get caught up on a few projects I’ve been putting off as well as packing away some winter things and making some donations.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
This week is going to be absolutely gorgeous – 70’s in the afternoon and 40’s overnight through Friday!!!! Too bad it’s not supposed to last, but while I can I will enjoy it. I’m planning on packing away many of my winter things this week. Low 50’s and rain are due back by the weekend.

READING TIME
I’m about to finish Marie Force’s STATE of PRESERVATION tonight from the First Family Series and the next book won’t be out until July so I’m going to start Storm Clouds Rolling In, the #1 book in the Bregden Chronicles Historical fiction series by Ginny Dye. I’m really looking forward the this series that is currently at 22 books, so definitely will last a while.
“Carrie Cromwell, fiery and strong-willed, finds herself torn between the South’s traditions and the dangerous truths she discovers through the Underground Railroad. As war erupts, every choice she makes risks her family, her freedom, and the lives of those she loves most.
Storm Clouds Rolling In launches The Bregdan Chronicles, a sweeping saga of courage, sacrifice, and resilience told through both Black and White, Free and Enslaved, Northern and Southern characters. For readers of United States Historical Fiction, this is history made unforgettable.”

MENU PLANS
BREAKFAST is always a work in progress for me – it will generally be hot water and a fruit yogurt 😀

Can’t wait to have spring-like weather too. yay for your last Eagle’s supper and for some time for you.
I want to put away winter things too. Enjoy your week
I’m “setting aside” the winter things. I’ve learned too many years not to actually put them away before May 🙂
Hello my Lovely!
Yay for last Eagles dinner and down time!!
You are such an amazing worker bee and organizer. If you only lived closer I’d hire you to come organize my life. Lol
I love the painting you picked instead – so Spring!! Jealous of your Spring temps too.
The soaps are adorable and such a cute idea.
Blessings on your week ahead. Enjoy some warmth and sunshine for me! ☀️
LOL don’t be too jealous – it’s all forecasted to change this next weekend back to normal. I wish we did live closer – I just know we are kindred spirits!!! I can’t wait for the real spring, but I’m enjoying the spring temps for this week at least! Have a GREAT week yourself!
You don’t know how I chuckled with that Funnies picture about calling in sick where you don’t work Hahahahah That is hilarious!
I hope you have a good productive week, and I hear you, the days fly by, we are already halfway through March and I feel like this year just started. Crazy.
Have a wonderful blessed week my friend. Oh and speaking of menu and being planned through Easter, I think I need to get my butt in gear, I haven’t even thought of Easter yet. Jeez!
Well, you still have almost 3 weeks until Easter so it’s time to catch up! Have a wonderful week my friend and I hope the weather doesn’t get too crazy!
