The Friday Five

The Friday Five

Another week has come and gone. This was sort of a crazy week. I didn’t get a lot done around the house, but I was pretty busy. So, here are the top 5 things that kept me busy this week.

  1. A friend is coming to visit from Germany. She wanted to know a good coastal route from Boston north to visit some of the prettier places in our area. Now New England is just full of beautiful coastal places and it was tough to plot out a trip, but I came up with a nice, easy journey, stopping in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Freeport, Maine. I’ve made maps, and directions and I’m excited to share all of this with her!
  2. We’ve started to take Anneliese with Arnie with us when we go out to get the mail. Anneliese loves to go for rides, we just need to train her to stop barking at everything that moves (including Arnie’s tail!). She get’s so excited when we prepare to go out and waits at the door looking at us with pleading eyes, “Oh take me too!”
  3. I saw a funny thing on the lawn today. It was a gray squirrel holding an apple in his mouth while running the length of the lawn back to his home in the stone wall! Honestly, it was hilarious. I wish I had my camera right there to capture that!
  4. My back is better. When I did wake in the night with a twinge, I would roll on my side and pull up my knees sort of in the fetal position and this seemed to help. I slept from 9 PM on Wednesday until 7 AM on Thursday! A really good night’s sleep!
  5. Today finds we doing laundry and sort of setting myself up for a free weekend. Saturday I want to attend a Craftfair uptown, and Sunday I’m heading south to see Mandy, Matt, and the kids! It’s supposed to be really hot, so I am planning to get in a nice swim in the pool with my grandchildren! Monday, I get the kids all to myself, as their schools are closed as the teachers prepare for the school year. I am thrilled! I get an entire day with two of my favorite people!

Wow! I sure love these two!
