Happy Monday Friends!
How are things going in your neck of the woods?
Around here we got a little snow late last week...but it's already almost fully melted. It's supposed to be lovely today. Then snow tomorrow. Cold Wednesday and then start to get nice again. And so goes the roller coaster of the northwoods weather these days. Lol
Did you have a lovely weekend? It was a fun one here. Friday we went to our wedding venue! My bestie Mrs. C went with us too. We walked around with our wedding coordinator there, and got a tour of where we would be married and where we would stay on the property (as well as friends and family that will stay), and we got to do a food tasting. It was all so wonderful!! It's so beautiful up there along the Lake Superior shore. The buildings on the property are all like Scandinavian lodges. So charming!!
We also got to taste samples from the bakery we're going to use for our wedding cake and they were awesome! It's all sure making it feel real and our Autumn wedding will be here before we know it. ❤️
Then we went to our besties the C's daughter's volleyball tourney. Watched several games and cheered them on to being champs!! And then went out for yummy Mexican dinner at one of our new faves (as it's a new one that opened in our town). And did lots of our usuals the rest of the weekend and snuck in some rest time and watched a few movies. It was another wonderful weekend in the books. Now on to this week ahead...
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING:
low cal strawberry yogurt with some of the chex cereal crushed on top and berries, coffee & natural almond creamer
ON MY TO DO LIST THIS WEEK:
errands, Matt's eye surgery (on the first eye - next one is in March), senior soiree committee work for Annie's school, bereavement calls & cards (hospice work from home), hospice work at facility, helping my Mom
THINKING ABOUT:
Matt's eye surgery tomorrow. Praying all will go smoothly and it's amazing to think that after his 2 surgeries he won't need glasses anymore! Crazy! 🙏🏻💕
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I still didn't get to Easter/Spring decorations due to shoulder & back stuff yet. But doing better every day - working out gently and doing therapy stretches and hopefully I will get out Spring decor next weekend. Maybe even start this week. 🐰🌸

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
FROM THE CAMERA:
Matt was going through some old pics and found this one and I had to grab a pic of - he was such a little cutie and his folks look so young!
furry baby love - as you can see Ruby just got her haircut too 💕
was helping my Mom last week and she commented she likes when my hair is up and the dark underneath mixes with the blonde. Lol
My bestie caught some pics when we went up to the wedding venue. It was so chilly that day, but will hopefully be beautiful there this early Fall on our big day! The top pic is Matt with the wedding coordinator, and the bottom pic shows right behind Matt & I is the exact spot where we'll get married... by those trees. :)
The recent snowy day we got was pretty - but I'm glad it didn't last!
