What's top of my mind: Stuff. I've been going through everything the last few weeks like I do once or twice a year. I still have a few things to do like my dresser. I have a large collection of gorgeous scarves and shawls and I need to find a better way to store them so I can see them and get to the one I want easily. Any suggestions? It feels so good to only have what you love and what you actually use. I found 300.00 in one of the hutch drawers where I keep my table linens. Not sure why I put it there but I'll take it.
Where I've been: I worked all week, stopped at Kroger for veggies and milk and filled up the Jeep. That's it.
Where I'm going: Today we're going to go to Rural King to pick up a few things. Saturday we have to pick up our meat order and a few things from Market Thyme. While we're out we'll stop at Drakes for lunch.
What I'm watching: The birds. We filled both of our large bird feeders last Saturday and we've had so many birds this week that they are both almost empty. The bird feeders are right in line with our patio door so sitting at the dining room table gives me a clear view. The indigo buntings are just beautiful.
What I'm reading: Cookbooks, blogs and a few articles were the extent of reading this week.
What I'm listening to: The conversations at work are riveting. It is so interesting to have so many people from different countries giving their prospective on things going on in the world. Being a part of such a diverse group is one of the biggest things I like about my job.
What I'm eating:
Who needs a good slap: No one particular jumps to mind at the moment.
What I'm planning: I've been planning out the garden and the planting days. April 15th is our official last frost date so it's almost time. A lot of the perennials are coming back which is always nice.
What's making me smile: Our 32nd Anniversary was Wednesday. Looking back on our years together and the hopes for the future gave me quite a smile. We have been very fortunate during our journey together and I am very thankful for that.
Happy Sunday!!
I wasn't expecting to go anywhere but a walk yesterday, then remembered a fundraiser I needed to be at to support a friend. Now, I'm staying put, walk aside, until Wednesday trivia. It's pretty much my norm.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you were able to go and support your friend.
DeleteThe new 'normal' has been on my mind lately. Do I miss things I used to do routinely? Not really. I realize a lot of what was part of my normal pre covid was really unnecessary. I kind of like the slow pace and appreciate any outings and events a lot more now.
Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do much so far, but I should have an interesting update on Tuesday night. Hope you're enjoying the rest of this weekend.
Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear your update. Hope you enjoy your weekend as well!!
I've had my office windows cracked open these past few weeks, and I've noticed the welcome return of bird sounds. It's so nice to hear.
ReplyDeleteIt really is Jeff!
DeleteEarly morning and early evenings they are very vocal and it's a calming sound to me.
Happy belated anniversary! 32 years is an achievement! Wishing you and your husband many wonderful more years together! Yum with those chicken kabobs and that chicken tiki masala looks good too! Do you have a recipe for it?
ReplyDeleteHow fun with the bird feeders! I love to watch them feed! When we lived in Prescott, Arizona we had several feeders up in the backyard. We got an assortment of birds. In fact we got so many that we would fill the feeders up in the morning and by evening they would be empty! My favorite were the quail that came. They didn't eat from the feeders but from the stuff the other birds spilled out of it. Fun times!
I don't know how to organize scarves. Honestly, I don't own a scarf lol :) I wonder if you could find something on YouTube on how to best organize them! Yay for the found money! Always a treat and unexpected!
I bet it is interesting with the conversations at work. I do enjoy hearing other people's opinions and even if I may disagree with them, I always find I learn new things as a result!
Happy new week ahead!
betty
Thank you Betty! I will be sure and share my chicken tiki masala.
DeleteWe don't have quail but I love watching the mourning doves. They also eat whatever has been dropped.
I'm sure living in Arizona you don't have scarves. I didn't in Florida either but in 17 years here in the Midwest I've acquired a large collection. Most of them were gifts. They're all beautiful. I will have to check out You Tube or Pinterest sometime this week.
I love learning about different cultures and ideals. It's fascinating to me. I've learned so much from others with different prospective over the years.
I hope you have a great week!!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was not aware Kmart still exists.
Kmart?? I don't think they do.
DeleteHello, my friend. Your meals look delicious. Especially the big salad. Happy Anniversary! We will celebrate 31 years this June. Time flies. I am actually sitting here right now watching the birds at my feeder! So many different ones today...finches and grackles. I have seen one blue jay too. Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Billie Jo. I love big salads. Looking forward to summer veggies to replace the winter veggies in my salad. Time does fly by.
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful week as well!
I was so looking forward to the good slap... Your food looks yummy. I love popovers. I think I will make some tonight. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I just couldn't come up with anyone. Thanks Kim. I love them too. I added a couple cubes of gouda and they were awesome.
DeleteDelicious food and sweet memories! A belated Happy Anniversary to you both! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny!!
