I’m looking forward to visiting with friends on Saturday night and cooking dinner for them. It’s great to be back in my kitchen!
Have a wonderful weekend. If you haven’t done it already, don’t forget to vote next week.
My sleep schedule is finally getting back to normal after being in a different time zone for six weeks. I doubt that turning the clocks back this weekend will have much impact on me.
We spent several days this week doing yard work at our place on the island. We trimmed bushes, dragged branches, dug holes (for bulbs and split rail fence posts), and one of us cut small trees (not me). At the end of each day, we were exhausted! It felt so good to crawl under the covers each night. All of that physical labor sure helped me get a good night’s sleep.
Here’s what I have for you this week.
