The Friday Five

Here we are at the very end of April! The year seems to be rushing by, although a neighborhood child told me that this school year was soooooo long! It made me laugh to recall how I’d felt the same in my youth when every day seemed like an eternity!

As the week ends and I look forward to my girls weekend on the Cape (Cape Cod), here are the things that have been on my mind.

1. I’ve done all the laundry and packed my suitcase for the trip. I don’t have to worry about Jack running out of clothes, or having to do a lot of laundry when I get back.
2. Besides packing my clothes, I have packed a bag of teas, and goodies to have in our room. The room has a coffee maker, that you can heat water in for tea. Perfect. I am a big herbal tea drinker.
3. I did a thorough cleaning of the Highlander. After a long, cold, snowy, wet, winter the inside and outside of the car were a mess. I brought down the carpet cleaner, I’ve written about before, and used the upholstery attachment on the seats and rugs.  It came out so well. I must interject here, anyone that does detail work like this on your car is worth their weight in gold. I spent an entire afternoon doing this! But it is so worth it!
4. Tonight I cook the last meal for a few days! I am really looking forward to the time off!
5. I bought these wild napkins. Now I didn’t know exactly how wild until I opened the package. You see, I love a bargain, and these were 700 napkins for $2.50! But when I opened them I realized they are full of goofy printed napkins. Oh well, it’s an adventure, right? Here is one of a dachshund.
