Another week has flown by. As usual, I have been rearranging my space and adding trinkets to my Baker’s Rack and my shelves. I got boxes of my Disney goodies from my daughter, which she had been storing, unbeknownst to me, LOL. They have arrived in the knick of time.
I read and reviewed two books, both of which I loved…and I am reading my third one. Another great journey. I wrote four FIVE blog posts and watched movies and shows. I had my hair styled on Tuesday, along with a nice lunch…and another great lunch the following day. So I am savoring it all.
Let’s take a closer look at the week.
