Friday favorites
This week brought family visits, a couple of packages in the mail, and as always good food. I can’t wait to share, so here we go.
The week got off to a good start with the arrival of my new running socks. Not only are Bombas like hugs for your feet, the colors are fun, and Bombas donates a pair of socks for every pair you purchase. So go on–order yours–I’ll wait.
It’s a good thing I got the socks, because I’m going to need to do a lot of running to compensate for this delicious donut from Beyond Glaze. I mean how could I say no to this little bit of heaven?
The weekend found us back at Hawkes Landing, this time with another of my sisters, Cindy, and her husband Mark.
Of course, we had to throw steaks, potatoes, and corn on the BBQ. Passing on that tradition would be a sin. (Thanks Larry for cooking!)
And then we had these surprise visitors.
I took about a hundred cloud pictures. I’m practicing remarkable restraint to only post two of them.
I just like this photo, so I’m including it. Can you see the umbrella reflected in the lens?
The second package of the week–this Mom’s Stuff salve is supposed to work wonders on bug bites. Since the mosquitoes eat me alive whenever we go to Bear Lake, and we’re going next week, I’m going to give this a try. I’ll let you know how it works. (Does anyone else love getting stuff in the mail as much as I do?)
I couldn’t resist this jumble of legs. Why do we all pile on one couch, even when it’s 100 degrees out?
As usual, I’ll finish off with food. I had the most scrumptious peach yesterday. Yummy!
How about you? What made you smile this week? Describe your happy moments in the comments, or get really adventurous and send photos to chhawkes@aol.com, and I’ll share them on next Friday’s blog. If you are kind enough to send a photo, I will be kind enough to send you a little surprise that in some way (however weird or distant) relates to the photo you send.
Loved your favorites! Mine included visits with the kids and going back to work! ?
Both excellent. Thanks for sending the adorable photo. It will be featured next Friday. Watch for a little gift from me!
I loved being able to get some maternity photos taken, since I’m STILL pregnant. It gave me a reason to be thankful this little babe is still in my body. So even though I’m very uncomfortable, I at least was able to capture this huge bump to remember forever.
I love that–and I love the photo you sent. Expect a little surprise from me. Can’t wait to meet this little miss!
My favorite was getting my own Bombas from my awesome Momma! ♡
Fabulous! I’m glad you like them. Send a photo by text, email, or on Facebook to get your gift!
The highlights of my week were spending time at the cabin with you guys, a zoo trip with Dax, Heidi and her girls and I finished a good book called A Window Opens by Elisabeth Egan.
Sounds like a good week. We really enjoyed our time with you at the cabin and are looking forward to Bear Lake! Thanks for the cute photos. Your surprise will be coming soon!
