The temperature and humidity is creeping up, and I'm not complaining one bit. Our winter seemed extra gray and dreary this year, so Albie and I are both soaking up the sunshine lately. I am so happy to see new annual color in the flower beds too...check out my post here about our spring landscaping refresh.

I read a Wall Street Journal article last week about how a thief can completely lock you out of your entire Apple account when they steal you phone and see what your passcode is. If you have financial app's like Venmo, banking or credit cards, they can use the passcode to access that too. Here's a video explaining the issue. You can read about ways to protect your data here.

I was THIS close to giving up our annual Shutterfly photobooks. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from Grace and Jack that they still love these. So I will keep making them even though I don't think they are browsed through very often! I just completed 2021 and 2022, so I am all caught up!
I figured out a hack to make them easier. I just cloned the 2020 book and worked from there. I don't really add captions, and just have the names of the months every few pages. It made it so much easier, and I just tweaked the layout if I needed more/fewer pictures.

It's that time of year...time to replace my much loved pool float. The last one I had made it through two summers. I think the water will be warm enough in a few weeks.

We had fun last weekend checking out our local Star Theater. It is a very nice, newish theater with dining. Surprisingly, the movie ticket was the same price as a regular theater. The food was good and about the same price as a restaurant. We will definitely be back!
Here's what we've been:
Watching
- Jesus Revolution in the theater - really enjoyed it!
- American Idol (ABC) - we haven't watched this in years, and it seems like it has a fresh approach/look this season
- The Company You Keep (ABC) - enjoying this spy/con artist show with chemistry
- Poker Face (Peacock) - can't wait to watch season finale this week
- Daisy Jones and the Six (Prime) - so far this is a great adaptation of the book; did you know the actress playing Daisy is Elvis' granddaughter?
Listening
- Thoughts from a Page podcast - interview with founder of Bookbrowse
Reading
- I thoroughly enjoyed this book, that fictionally mirrored the life of JFK Jr.

Grace and Jack have been having a blast in Florida for their Spring Break. Hopefully, they will give me the go ahead to post a few pictures here on the blog.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Tanya, that is great that you have such nice weather in your area. It's still cold here but I'm looking forward to spring and day light savings this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI use my face to open my phone so I wonder if a thief can steal it anyway!
ReplyDeleteThat pool float looks awfully inviting. Have a great weekend, Tanya.
ReplyDeleteWe love Poker Face. So brilliant. I wondered about Daisy Jones..might have to watch. We got snow today darn it. Happy Weekend.
ReplyDeleteSnow...ugh! We watched episode 4 of Daisy, and it just keeps getting better!
DeleteI only ever have a passcode on my phone when I'm working out of the house because my phone would usually be on my desk at school. Or if we're traveling or something. It's SUCH a hassle if I'm just at home most of the day. Now I'm rethinking this...
ReplyDeleteThat was interesting to read about the phone information. Makes me think more about how secure I keep my phone. I am hoping to see Jesus Revolution next weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe were having great weather too and now we are back under a freeze warning! UGH
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome that you're all caught up on your family yearbooks! I wish I had started those when the kids were little. Now I want to do them, but I have too many to catch up on! And we love American Idol since Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry have taken over. They are SO FUNNY and their chemistry is just great. We've been loving it these last few years. I hope they all stay for many years to come!
