It's Been a Good Week!

It's my birthday!

Today is my 58th birthday

and I'm expecting a phone call

from my mother any minute now.

It's her tradition to call each of us

on our birthdays and sing to us

in her worst version ever. 

🎂

We look forward to it every year.

This week I have taken it easy,

as far as staying around the house,

working on projects,

cooking good food,

catching up on phone calls

and watching some good shows.

I have purged all of my journals;

pulling out the good stuff and tossing the rest.

I'm not sure what the result of all of it will be,

but it's a work in progress.

David finally put the flooring in our bathroom!!

It turned out so good!

I spent one of my days switching all of our stuff

from the hall bath to this bathroom in our bedroom.

This has taken quite a long time.

David had to tear this bathroom completely down,

and then build it back up,

including building an entirely new floor surface.

We used tin for our shower wall,

which we are really loving.

We don't have a lot of storage,

so I had to make things look nice,

with baskets and reality 😅

We live here, so real life

had to take first place over

Pinterest perfect.

I made my first loaf of basic bread

in my new bread machine.

I had to try it, while it was still warm.

Delicious!

The rest of the week was spent catching up

on the phone

with sisters and friends.

I watched some good shows,

went for several bike rides,

cooked some good meals

and let myself rest when needed.

Tonight my family will come over

to celebrate my birthday.

My daughter-in-loves are cooking

and I know it will be delicious.

In the meantime,

I will get out of the house today,

for the first time this week,

and do some things.

It will feel good to be out of the house!

 I'll leave you with this precious picture of Calem 

that my DIL sent to me.

I can't get over how handsome he is 💙

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

See you next week.

Until Next time...

Blessings!
