Here is a peek into our week, in no particular order:

“Things That Zack Tried to Eat This Week”

I have no idea what this one is or where he retrieved it from.Sorry for the blurry photo.  Again.  This dog doesn’t stand still well.  He also tries to eat everything he finds along the side of the road on our multiple daily walks.  He dragged something out of the decaying leaves the other night that was literally decomposing, but I didn’t think that you’d want to see that……

Third week in a row that we’ve gotten snow.  I am very ready for spring.  I want to plant tomatoes and peppers.  Although it is pretty.

I was looking for my extra scissors and came across these glasses in Denton’s bathroom drawer and immediately texted him a photo and said “Woohoo! I found your extra glasses” and he texted me back and said, “Those aren’t mine….”  Oops, they are an old pair of mine.  Oh well.

Things that are being re-homed.  I actually loved that Martha Stewart dog food bag, but the design was atrocious.  It was very difficult to get into.  Which was a good thing when it comes to Little Leo, but a bad thing when your 110 pound dog is dancing around you while you are trying to open it one handed and fend him off at the same time.

More things that are headed to someone else’s house….

More clothes that have now been gone through and can leave my house, except for what I’ve set aside for my nieces.

You may have seen on Instagram that I put up a blind in my bathroom this past week.  This little project has been waiting for me to complete it for almost a year.  The kittens destroyed my curtains when we brought them home, and after I took them down, I just never got around to putting this up.  How perfect a fit is that?!?  I found these at one of my local thrift shops for $6.99 for two of them.  They glide up and down like a dream, and I LOVE them.  Now to patch the holes from the hardware and then I can think about painting sometime in the next four years….There is no such thing as too many books long sleeved t-shirt

I need this shirt.  snow falling on cedars

Have you read Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson?  It was my “What I’m Reading” book last week.  I have a new book that I’m about to start and I can’t wait!


Groceries:  I spent my hard earned money at Food Lion and Walmart again this week.  The total for Food Lion came in at $15.69 and Walmart was $111.40 for our family of four.

Are your grocery stores still having problems keeping things stocked?  My local Food Lion can NOT keep chicken nuggets in their freezers.  I finally asked when they get their truck each week, so that I can make a run in on the evening that they unload to see if I can snag some to keep in the freezer.  I keep them on hand at all times for the kids to have a quick snack with.  What do keep for quick snacks?  I love my air fryer for stuff like that.

Also, they had one bag of White Lily flour and it had a HOLE in it.  That’s the only flour I use to make my biscuits, soooooooo.  Did you know that the reason White Lily makes such good biscuits is because it’s one of the few that uses soft winter wheat?  Most flour company’s use hard wheat.  If you can get your hands on some White Lily flour, you should try it!   But try to find it locally because those prices are insane.  I usually pay around $3.50 for five pounds.
