First week of January in the books, check! I am sharing a few favorites from the week....
New Year's Eve was pretty quiet. We watched the movie Oppenheimer, ate a few snacks, had a glass of wine, and watched the ball drop in NYC. There was a network showing fireworks from around the world and the most impressive one I saw was in London.

New Year's Day was spent at home watching lots of football games by the fire and good food. I keep my lights on the mantle on year round and will keep my garland up until probably the end of the month.
We had ham, black eyed peas, sweet potatoes and sourdough bread for dinner. I have so much sourdough bread, I decided to have this instead of cornbread.
Tuesday, Brook and I went to see 4 of my greats. I didn't get a picture of my great nephew, but here we are with the 3 girls. Speaking of these 3 girls, today is this one's 7th birthday!
I love playing with these littles!
Tuesday nights at the movies has become a favorite thing. It is discounted night here and we went to see The Boys in the Boat. Has anyone else been to see this?
I worked a little bit from home Tuesday and Wednesday and returned to the office yesterday. It was good to see my co-workers again.
Not a favorite, but this morning my youngest is driving 9 1/2 hours back to her university. She has been home since the week before Thanksgiving, so I will miss her for sure. Every time she leaves, it is such an adjustment. Prayers for her safety appreciated! I am working some this morning, then will go down to my parents to help them with housekeeping and putting away some Christmas things.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
I have not seen the movie you mentioned but I do want to... maybe this weekend. It is nice of you to help your parents put away their Christmas things. I was thinking this week as I put my decorations away of how physically demanding it is and I can see how it would be challenging for older people to do. Your nieces are sooo cute and I just said a prayer for your daughter for a safe drive to school.
ReplyDeleteI know you're going to miss her! It's nice that you had so long with her before she had to go back to school. I will pray for her safety as she travels, that is quite the drive! I love seeing your little greats! Happy birthday to the one turning 7 today! I didn't realize they still have a discount day at the movies. I need to go with you sometime! Happy Friday to you, friend. Would you want to try to meet up Sunday for dinner? Let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteAww such adorable littles you have. Stopped and prayed for your daughter to travel safely. I love to go to the movies, but hubby does not and if it's something special I can get someone to go with me, but otherwise, I seldom go. Hope you have a great rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about Boys in the Boat but haven't gotten around to reading or watching it yet. Wishing your daughter safe travels as she heads back to school.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to be helping your parents. I totally understand you'll be missing your daughter. Here's hoping she's safely on her way now.
ReplyDeleteYour little greats are so adorable! I'm reading this late in the evening, but I hope your daughter returned to school safely.
ReplyDeleteWe watched the fireworks on the TV New Years eve from London and they were good but I thought past years have been better.
ReplyDeleteYour fire looks so cozy!
I hope you youngest made it back to university OK.
I really want to see Boys in the boat! I can't believe we didn't see any movies in the theater over the holidays! I hope your daughter got home safely! That is a long drive! My kids will drive back tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to the quiet, empty house.
