Three On Thursday

February 22, 2018 By Carole

Apparently when I say “posting will be erratic” what I really mean is, see you in a week. I didn’t set out to take the whole week off from blogging but I pretty much did. Since it’s Thursday I will catch you up on the happenings around here with 3 photos. And some words to go with them, of course.

Photo Number One.

Dinner last Saturday night: swordfish, seared in the cast iron pan on the stove and then finished in the oven with blistered tomatoes and roasted asparagus. So delicious! And, since swordfish is Dale’s favorite, it counted as our Valentine’s celebration, too. We ate in the living room by the wood stove and it was lovely.

Photo Number Two.

Dale and Jack with grins. I just love that little smile on Jackie and the big smile on Dale is great, too. Jack is getting bigger by the minute and is now clocking in at nearly 17 lbs! He just had his 4 month check up and is doing very well. This photo is from Tuesday and Jessica and I had just taken Jack for his first ever walk around the neighborhood – which is the neighborhood where Jess grew up so that’s pretty cool. It was a beautiful afternoon and Jack did great. In other words, he slept through the whole thing.

Photo Number Three.

Happy Hour on the deck on Wednesday afternoon. We broke the record high temperature yesterday and it was glorious. Not only did I take the Mustang out with the top down but I wore flip flops, too. Cocktail hour outside is always our favorite way to have it but when it’s in the middle of winter it’s even sweeter.

Hope your week has been sweet, too! I’m off to SPA this morning so I’ll be spending the weekend spinning and knitting, eating and drinking, laughing and gabbing with some of my favorite people. In other words, it’s pretty much like every weekend around here.

    Oh, man! Flip flops! That’s awesome in February! We had a couple of warm days earlier this week — but not quite flip flop weather. Especially because the warm weather was accompanied by inches of rain! But you give me hope. Flip flops and drinks on the patio. Ahhhhhhh.

    Have a great time this weekend! XO

    We’ve been topping out in the teens lately, so I have mixed feelings about those bare feet outside. In any event, have a SPAtacular weekend!

    Jack & his grin are precious! We’ve been having crazy warm temperatures the past few days also. We’ve been sleeping with out windows open & fans running. Just crazy for February!

    Have a great time at SPA-I am sooo behind on my blogs. Today was a top down ride home with temps near 80! I know that means once we get used to these lovely days we’re gonna get hit up the side of the head in April or May with a cold snap. I will enjoy it while I can. Jack and Dale look so cute together!

Here’s current me reflected in the frame of a picture of Dale and I from our honeymoon 24 years ago. I’ve always loved this photo of us, it captured our joy so perfectly.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward

The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
