Reflecting on the week with joy; come good, bad, or indifferent . . .
This week was a flash, and the weekend flashed by right along after it. I did feel quite accomplished Friday afternoon after 5 hours of intensive cleaning and organizing (yea, me and my awesome family that helped). I tend to get five times the work done with the threat of a last-minute house guest, rather than procrastinating for five weeks! Particularly if said house guest is of the mother-in-law variety. ;)
We enjoyed our extended family this weekend and lots of feasting and some super fun "window" shopping. My hubby surprised me with an early gift from the Gypsy Junk Revival.
