Good morning, Seekerville! I'm tucked into a warm house on a Very Cold Day, but hard at work on a fun mystery which means it isn't really hard at all because writing Guideposts mysteries is So Much Fun! And seeing what trouble my friends Meredith and Julia can get into now! :) Have a wonderful weekend...
ReplyDeleteWe're doing tacos for the football playoffs tomorrow, and a 5 year-old birthday celebration on Monday, so the joy continues.
Cute kids... snow... cold... food... and a gym membership.
:)
Yep.
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
That did not stop me from eating a Cannoli-cheese-filled donut yesterday.
AND I BROUGHT SOME TO SHARE!!!!!
Ruthy, I was thinking football, nachos, and birthday cake... but you lost me at gym membership! hahaha
DeleteGood morning and congratulations to all of the winners! Hope everyone has a safe and warm weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou, too, Connie!
