Hello, my friends, and Happy Friday! This week has been comfortably ordinary, as March days often are. I used to find March to be long, uneventful, and dreary. Age has blessed me with wisdom, as it often does, and I now appreciate March for what it is: a bridge between the cozy, winter days and the brighter spring ones. This week, the sun shone so brightly outside one day that I felt I should be outside, enjoying the sun and warmth. In actuality, the air was bitterly cold, so I happily snuggled back on the sofa for the rest of the afternoon. Warmer days are coming, I know.
Spending this time inside has allowed me a chance to add some personal touches to this house we are making a home. The kitchen...
And right nearby, the dining area...
I added a rug that adds some coziness and color to the dining area while keeping the open floorplan clean. The soft rug is pup-approved, too. Which is good, because we often have four around! Marty, Flynn's precious Maltipoo...
My ten-year-old Yorkie, Mocha, loves Rhett so much...
Marty with Madison...
Madison and Nico's cute Havanese Draper with Rhett...
Marty with Flynn and a sophomore schoolwork...
And Steve's sweet Cavapoo, Cosmo, eyeing up my dessert!
Yes. Dessert. Made by Rhett and Kyrstin this week when they made dinner, chicken parmesan with alfredo. I have no photo because I just couldn't wait!
This tiramisu was delicious!
Now, I actually did cook this week. Although it was not fancy, I did whip up a family favorite last night. And it was as good as always. Organic chicken nuggets, canned green beans, homemade macaroni and cheese, and the simplest tossed salad...
Tonight we are going out for a fish fry, and tomorrow we will go to mass. The rest of the weekend is free, though I do have plenty to tackle. Maybe I will start with a cup of coffee and make a list of things I need to do? That is something, right?
Besides, I don't want to overdo it. We do lose an hour of sleep, right?
Happy Friday, my friends. I am looking forward to visiting with you this weekend. Thanks for visiting. I am always so happy you do.
