Actually, it's not Saturday. Also, even if it were, you probably wouldn't know what Saturday means because this blog has never had one before. Unless, of course, you read the description up above. Then you'd know. But that still doesn't make it Saturday . . . last night, I sided with sleep instead of posting. There's always a decision, and that was my pick last night.
But, true to the Saturday form, here's a few of the week's adventures in pictures! This is by no means exhaustive, of course. Did I even need to say that? Oh well, I said it.
My grandmother came into town this weekend. She got to meet my dear friend from church Reble, who she's heard so much about. They instantly loved each other, which was so fun for me. This is a picture I surreptitiously snapped after we'd eaten lunch at Panera before they had to say goodbye. It was so precious.
This is a piece of cookie dough that the lady at the coffee shop let me try. These are the best cookies in the world, and as I watched her scoop the dough we talked about how they needed to have sell it. Then she snuck me a piece (YAY!) probably against all the rules of her job. It was extraordinary. The giving of the dough; the dough itself wasn't anything exceptional. But I guess that's fine, it keeps it magical.
I tried a new coffee shop! It was alright . . . a little too high brow for my non-coffee tastes, and a little too minimalist for my cozy-vibe tastes. But it was fine! Now I only have two on my list that I haven't tried.
This is a dear lady I met when I was visiting a church. Even though I didn't end up going to church there, we still grab lunch every now and then. She is so lovely.
My mom sent me this in the mail. Because she rocks. It made my friends very happy. Oh, and me. It made me very happy.
I made dinner for Reble and Ray on Thursday night. Reble doesn't like to cook, and I miss cooking while I'm here, so we have a set up going where I show up and she's picked out the ingredients and I cook dinner. This week we had a three-salad dinner (toss, chicken, and pasta) and chocolate cherry cake.
Here's everyone around the table! That's Reble on the far left and Ray on the far right. The three in the middle—Brooke, Sydney, and Sue—are other friends from church.
Here's the ducks from my mom's care package in the fountain at school. Hooray!
So there's my week in review. Farewell for now.
