GIFTS...

Every Sunday, just after dinner, JPE & I begin to fret about our weekend coming to an end!


Instead of beating myself up over the tasks I didn't accomplish, I decided to put a positive spin on the GIFT of a WEEKEND...
having said that... here are some GIFTS I want to remember...

laughed, critiqued & enjoyed
a "scrumptious" pasta dinner...

{with a dear friend from Oakland}

enjoyed our Central Coast weather...

{a cool breeze with a touch of warm sun}

paid a visit to Patricia's

{a full-body massage does wonders

for the knots in my back}

spent 90+ minutes on the phone w/Myra...

{getting caught up on family, work

& how she broke her arm on Friday the 13th}

JPE & I snuck burritos into the theater...

{& munched while watching "Hunger Games"}

wrote & posted several blog entries...

{extremely busy work schedule prevented me

from posting this week}

downloaded the itinerary for our July trip to Peru...

{MUST schedule an appt for Yellow Fever immunizations
 + a tetanus shot, for me}

laundry... 1/2 completed

{have gotten into the bad habit of putting folded laundry
on the bench, in our bedroom}


walked SLE through the steps for removing
a catsup stain from her silk scarf...
{small stain-on the tassels}


texted with brother...
{he & my SIL had taken my mom to OREGON
~ for a birthday celebration}


coordinated work & summer calendars...
{yep, JPE & I are planners}


texted with sister...
{how did I manage to stay in touch, before texting?}


read blogs & pinned...
{ahhh! Pinterest, how I've missed you!}


SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY will resume next week!!
the hunt is on... for SHADOW, KEYS, SMILE, UNEDITED (SOOC), & FISH
