It was a long, quiet week. The calendar which had been full was cleared as one by one our family came down with the flu. Mattresses were pulled out into the family room and we all camped out. First there was Mama and one camper, then two... and eventually everyone was together watching movies and resting. Can you guess what the girls are watching here?
There is always a reason to give thanks I reminded myself and I truly was thankful for my health so that I could serve as chief nurse, house cleaner and disinfector (not that the disinfecting seemed to help very much). :)
I was also thankful that during the quiet hours, as I was waiting for my little friends to recover, I had the opportunity to do several projects that I simply haven't had the time to tackle. This included giving the rocking goose a distressed paint job so he would match the family room again.
Finding a home for this thrifted little pillow I found the week before. Really? A burlap pillow with a little girl silhouette? Even before I found out it was $1.99 I was smitten!
And a home for this sweet sign. Thankful for my friend who knows that I love vintage cameras and picked this up as a "just because" gift for me. Thank you, Lisa!
And finally a chance to update the chalk board which has said, "He is Risen!" since March.
Hoping you are enjoying a beautiful week.
Love,
