Friday Favorites {Feb 24}

TGIF!  This Friday is extra happy because we are "weekending" with our kids.  I'm looking forward to shopping, dining, and just hanging around with them and having a little getaway from Houston with Michael.  Here are a few faves from the week.  I'll be back here on the blog next Wednesday.

ONE

I finished this sweet little embroidery project that Suzette sent me in December.  It is really tiny - only about 3" across.  I bought a small 4" hoop and will finish it off in that.  I'm planning to hang it as an ornament on my British-themed Christmas tree.

TWO - WHAT WE'RE WATCHING 

First of all, we are LOVING YouTubeTV.  It is just like having cable for a much lower price.  I love the DVR and on demand features.  I also like that each family member can set up their own preferences.  I don't think the kids are watching much now, but that might change over the summer.  

This week we've been watching Poker Face on Peacock.  It is a fun mystery series with each episode featuring a stand-alone story.  It is quirky, funny, and reminds us of old-school shows like Columbo.  I've also been watching The Way Home, a series on Hallmark.  Thanks to Jennifer for the recommendation.  

I'm looking forward to the new Call the Midwife season coming out soon, as well as the Daisy Jones series coming to Prime Video.

THREE

I had to laugh one night this week when Grace sent me a picture of homemade chicken enchiladas and Jack sent me a picture of a steak and potatoes.  They are really enjoying cooking, while I am veering into empty nester phase eating prepared foods and sandwiches!  I'll get my cooking vibe back soon (hopefully.)  

Anyway, we tried this Chicken Lasagna from Sams this week, and it was delicious!  I will say it is light on the chicken, but still so good.  We also had the Sam's Club gyros pack...recommend that one too.

FOUR

One of the highlights of scrolling social media is when Grace or Jack pop into my feed through one of their campus activities.  Imagine my surprise when I got pictures of BOTH of them in one afternoon.  Jack attended a guitar club meeting at Auburn, held on the lawn on a nice day.  There were probably about 20 students in attendance...what a fun idea.  Grace went to a Biology Club lunch, with two professors guest speaking.

FIVE - WHAT I'M LISTENING TO

Here are a few things I've been listening to.  

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey had a good episode where she talked about Covid lockdowns and rules with Jennifer Sey, a former executive with Levi's.  I liked how two people with opposite political views could have a civil conversation about what our world went through in 2020 and beyond.  

I've also discovered a new royal podcast - Keeping Up with the Windsors.  It is just two British ladies chatting about the royal news and events from that week.  

Have a wonderful weekend -

See you back here on Wednesday.
