Week 9

Welcome back and happy Tuesday.  We're just plugging along here waiting for the end of the month when we can escape for spring break.  Everyone is itching to get away for a change of scenery so hopefully this month passes quickly.  It's also supposed to be a cold and thunderstorm/lighten type of week which will help remind us it's not fully spring yet. That's ok though because I like it when things get mixed up a bit.

Until then, here are last week's pictures:

Day 60- Monday, 3/1/21

March already?  The year is well on it's way.  Bella was very helpful in letting me get a cute monthly marker picture this afternoon.  Anything for a treat--that's the motto she lives by!

Day 61- Tuesday, 3/2/21

I'm loving the sunshine and new baby leaves surrounding us this week and Brandon is loving a good orange-chicken dinner this evening.

Day 62- Wednesday, 3/3/21

One of the perks of working early morning hours is being up and out for the sunrise--beautiful colors to start my day with this morning.  Later we got news that schools here are finally returning to some in-school instruction, but they're still working on the exact schedule.  We have the option to continue remote, and since Brandon is thriving at home he'll continue on that path to finish up his junior year.

Day 63- Thursday, 3/4/21

Not sure why, but I felt like making cookies today and wanted them ready as an after school treat for Brandon.  My mom used to occasionally have fresh-baked cookies ready for us coming home from school, and I've also done that for the boys over the years but haven't done it in a long while so today was the day.  Brandon and John were both pleasantly surprised. Cookie cheers!

Day 64- Friday, 3/5/21

TGIF!  Drinks for us and treats for Bella.  John's great at mixing up end-of-week cocktails for us to enjoy.  We still have fresh lemons on the tree so lemon drops it is.  Bella also knows exactly what day is Friday because she gets her Kong and treat puzzle toy filled with her favorites.  Happy day for all!

Day 65- Saturday, 3/6/21

This tree went from a few blooms last week to full on bloomed out this week, and now the leaves are starting to pop up too.  There is a lot of blue sky and sunshine, but there is also a cool breeze so it's not nearly as warm as it looks.  You can feel a storm is trying to blow in.  Later we hunkered down to watch the newly released sequel Coming to America 2 which was fun and well done.  We should have watched the first one again before starting but of course we didn't think of that until we were already too deep in.

Day 66- Sunday, 3/7/21

Here comes Rusty just waking from a nap to check on the status of dinner.  You could set your watch to the pets' internal feeding clocks.  It's cat food for him and a new wine to try for me.  John went to Costco today and always brings back a couple new wines from places we've not tried before.  He also knows Sauvignon Blanc is my favorite so he'll find those for me.  What a guy!

That's all folks.  See you next week.
