Lenten activity

We attended a multigenerational Lenten soup dinner and activity last night at church. The theme was "making room."

The craft for the night was making stained glass windows with tissue paper. I thought for sure Andy was making a mess the way he was cutting up the pieces of tissue paper ...

but his, on the right, turned out really nice. I think I like it better than the one I made.

Annual golf trip

Andy and the boys were in Arizona (Scottsdale maybe) for their annual golf trip. They're in a seven-bedroom rental so everyone got their own room. This master bedroom was Andy's, I suppose because he makes all of the travel plans.

A few of the guys playing foosball. They left Thursday morning and got back late Sunday, after taking in a Cubs spring training game. They played four rounds of golf.

Saturday's round. Andy made a fashion statement in his new, salmon-colored shorts.

Pretty course.

Andy and I had thrifted some golf-related "awards" and silly certificates. He said the guys got a kick out of them.

Spring training game. I didn't realize they had lawn seats.

Scrappy Saturday

I did the grocery shopping early Saturday morning. Laundry is done. Dishwasher is loaded. With Andy gone, it was either vacuum the living room or get back to working on the Disney 2025 trip scrapbook. Since I found my pens, I guess the logical answer is to scrapbook.

I did finish the album and I didn't even have to add more pages. Maybe I didn't have as many pictures as I thought I did. Anyway, I had to pull out the album from our first trip in March 2008 to compare, The kids are all grown up. Who would of thought L would one day be working there? Certainly not her 5-year-old self.

So close

I realized more than half-way through my workday yesterday that I was wearing two different earrings. Guess I have to put on my glasses to get dressed. At least they were very, very similar. It's not the first time I've gone to work mismatched. When I was pregnant with L I wore one black loafer and one brown loafer and didn't notice it until I was walking to lunch with coworkers. At least I was able to remove the earrings and set them in my purse. I wasn't able to do that with my shoes.

Alexa knows me

I sat down to work on a puzzle and asked Alexa to play some '70s music. Her first choice? Shaun Cassidy's Da Doo Ron Ron! Take me back to junior high school.

Pie puzzle

These large White Mountain puzzles are too big to fit on my puzzle board so I have to try the cover the pieces with paper, blankets, etc., while it's being worked on. The cats love the bigger boxess though. Here's Piper making herself comfortable.

Ruby finds them the perfect size for sleeping.

Done and complete!

This popped up on Facebook. Yes, I'm that old.

Where are my pens

I haven't scrapbooked since Croptoberfest so when I decided to begin our family Disney trip 2025 album, I was motivated. I pulled out the photos, papers and stickers. I cleared off the table. And then, I couldn't find my pens. Not one. Yikes. I looked in all of the bags I took to the crop, checked the cabinets, the bags I didn't take, the basement closet and finally - on my second time looking in my paper holder - found them hiding in a corner in their cute pink case. Phew.

I didn't get much accomplished. This was getting to our room on the first day.

Pretty poses

So many collections

Always makes me a little sad to see collections at the thrift store. First, I noticed these bells ...

then this collection of angels ...

and then snow globes. Hope they weren't all from a single donation.

Cuddling cats

Well, this is just adorable, but wait. Piper isn't alone ...

she's being cuddled by Ruby. Look at Ruby's paw resting in Piper's tail. Aww.
