I take a lot of photos during the week.  At current count there were over 7,000 pictures on my phone.  I know.  Anything that catches my eye that I think is interesting, or just a memory that I’d like to keep.  However, they usually sit in my phone and no one sees them except me and my immediate family; when I force them to sit and look at them with me occasionally.  I do share some of them on my Instagram, in case you’d like to follow me over there.  Anywho, I thought that I would give myself a sort of week in review to look back at.  Who knows, maybe this is something I will actually remember to do each week for once!


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

My new flag for the rest of winter.  It makes me smile.

Little Leo.  He finds the most curious places to take a nap.I spied this peculiar sight at a doctor’s visit this week.  My mind always wants to know the why of things.  Why is this little bottle of hand sanitizer on this giant table?  Is this the only table they had available?  Does it make people see it better?  Also, one thing that the pandemic has created is faster visits at the doctor.  I was the ONLY person in the waiting room and I was in and out in under 40 minutes.  

This dog.  Zack loves nothing more than snow.  He is so happy when he prances out onto the front porch and see’s that it’s coming down.

As pretty as it is, I’m ready for Spring to arrive and stay until September.

One of the many items that are just hanging out and taking up space that’s going away this week…..

These too.  

I continually find a better way to arrange my life.  I never open this cabinet door because I have been stuffing overflow items into it.  But it’s prime real estate in my kitchen since it is  right next to my stove, so I cleared it out and put my spices back in there.

Now I can reach my most used spices without moving across my kitchen.  And moving across my kitchen is dangerous now, because I have a pony trying to help me cook.  See above photo of Zack.

More things that are already loaded in my car and will be leaving my house to find a new home…..

So far I have kept my promise to myself two weeks running about my nails.  I really like the Poparazzi nail polish from CVS.  It’s only 50 cents when you find it on sale and it’s on sale every other week it seems like.  And it comes in a multitude of colors.

I made my Slow Cooker Pork Loin this week with intentional leftovers.  I’ll tell you all the things I made with it tomorrow!

So.  What happened in your neck of the woods last week?

If you are interested in what’s been happening in previous weeks, you can them all here.
