The Great Slow Down....Around Here!

This week...


I think its safe to say that many homes will have a couple coats of new paint on them this spring.  A few weeks ago we purchased paint for our kitchen and we were one of three people awaiting paint while others were feverishly deciding on colors.

I hate to paint.  My husband kind of enjoys it.  I was thrilled when he agreed to paint my kitchen Repose Grey (Sherwin Williams).  He finished it up after a week of working on it after his regular work day.  

I am in love!



Our playroom floor.  The new covering is Lego (again).  I don't really care about them not being picked up.  The best toy for brain building and also the cause of many children learning the "f" word early (I just don't want through there any more!)


I have always held respect for medical professionals.  Of course they are key to our survival.  BUT can we please really shine a light on the cafeteria staff of our public school system?  Every day they are spread around our county making sure every child 0-18 is fed.  This isn't for a selected population but for EVERY child.  Thank you so much lovely lunch ladies!  You are the smiling face I look forward to seeing each day.  I appreciate your work and your joy each and every day.  Thank you soooo much!



My mama made muffins and also worked on the cemetary flowers.  I sat close by and played on my phone like a typical 38 year old daughter.


Over the course of this stay at home period I have found my new love.  That new love is bad for me and against everythinig I once stood for.  To Sonic Drive In - my heart and belly.  I'll take a Sonic Burger with a Diet Cherry Coke, please.  Any day.



We have been celebrating Holy Week from our kitchen.  Through live stream and Youtube we have taken "communion" had a love feast and prayed and sang.  I do miss the Easter dresses...



TV:  Real Housewives of NYC; Ozark; Gilmore Girls; McMillions


Every day the boy and I walk back to the creek.  We caught a newt.  He was tickled pink.  One thing he doesn't like?  Spiders.  Spiders however do not bother me.  I'm the official "get the spider" person.  You can bet I point out every single spider I see to make people cringe.  Hopefully, I can get a shot of the one in our building soon.  Its about five inches long.


Nana had all her grandchildren over for an egg hunt and to dye eggs.


And we went retro when they pulled out MY bag of Happy Meal toys from when I was a kiddo.  Lots of 80's goodness there!


My mother was wearing one glove when she was running her errands in her car.  It was the gloved hand she would use to pay/accept items with.  It made me giggle.  If you have worked in health care you know once you use it you trash it...let's make sure we pass that morsel of knowledge along!


Blessings to you all this Easter weekend.
Shalom to our friends celebrating Passover.
God is good.

Peace-
