My Favorite Things . . .

 

 

A few of the things in life that make my heart go pitty pat. Maybe they will do the same thing for yours. ♥♥♥    I'm pretty sure however, that these things mainly make my own heart sing.

And those are my favourite things for this week. What are some of yours?

I ended up going on an impromptu trip up to the farm market with my sister yesterday morning to get some bean bacon. Of course we left with a few other bits, as you do.  Nicest part . . .  being able to do this with my sister.  And then of course having a fish and chips supper together with family.  Yes, we all did the fish thing! LOL What are we like! 

Today everyone's coming here for baked beans.  I am going to try to do them in the slow cooker.  Wish me luck!

A thought to carry with you  . . .

  1. I have a notice on my mailbox to leave only addressed mail as the junk mail was getting way too much. Lovely things today. Enjoy the day.

  3. Sounds yummy at your house!! I made us some chocolate mayo cake yesterday (we watched a youtube thing on 15 foods of the past that have come back in the past couple years and that was one). It is gluten free for us, of course, turned out ok...just some canned fake whipped cream on top was enough...wishing you more happy times with family!!
