Latest At Living Large: Easter Sunday

We are spending the day with old neighbors and their family. They lived next door to use for 28 years. Our girls are the same age and very close friends.

I’m actually hosting a bridal shower for their oldest daughter at our home in August. It’s going to be so fun to plan with her Mom, her Aunt, and all of the girls.

This Week’s Events

  • I still have seeds to plant and I need to get it done in the next day or two.
  • This week coming up will be busy as I have to get all my work done at the beginning of the week. “Handy” and I are taking a quick trip to Michigan. Him for work and me to visit one of my favorite shops in Hudsonville, MI @thefoundcottage
  • Yesterday we headed to Wisconsin to pick-up old windows for our “new” greenhouse. We stopped in to visit our dear friends in Waukesha. He just had a knee replacement and we wanted to make a quick stop to say hi and see how he’s doing.
  • Our daffodils are all blooming. They are such a pretty flower.

Things That I Found Interesting This Week

  • I loved the series “The Pitt” with Noah Wylie. Why is it that men just get better with age? If your squeamish this might not be the show for you but I loved it! There wasn’t a character that I didn’t like.
  • “The Women” by Kristin Hannah is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It’s not what you typically expect from Hannah. It historical fiction, which I love, and so beautifully written. I highly recommend it if your looking for a good book. It would also be an awesome book club read.
  • A stranger in Pittsburg raised 300K for an 81-years old waitress who couldn’t retire on her $910 monthly income. Stories like this help me stay positive that there are good people in the world.

For my friends who celebrate I hope you are having a Happy Easter! For my Jewish friends I hope you had a Pesach Sameach.

I hope your week was amazing! See you next Sunday!

Peace & Love,

About the elderly woman: With long gray hair and glasses, she wears a white knit sweater and hoop earrings, her gentle smile radiates warmth against the plain light gray background.
