Friday Favorites, 2.4.22

 

Happy Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for this weekly blog post. How's your week been? Ours is ending with everyone at home due to freezing rain yesterday and icy road conditions today. 

And on that note...

...one of my favorite things to see in all of the world is Drew coming home with a bag. It means he's staying home with us for the weekend and that is another one of my favorite things. There is nothing that feels quite as good as knowing we're all home together. He had a harrowing drive home from work yesterday morning and then came home and crashed the rest of the day. They all went out for dinner last night and hung out before coming back home.

I loved this picture I saw on our town page yesterday on Facebook. I've said this before, but I really do enjoy winter and consider it my second favorite season (my first is fall). I love to see everything coated in a layer of ice. On the flip side of this, I do not love power outages and flickers and hearing the branches snap, crackle and pop. A huge limb fell in our neighbor's yard yesterday that narrowly missed their roof! It's so eerie hearing that at night.

Brownies are one of my favorite desserts. I enjoyed these after dinner last night. I had grand plans to make these, then make dinner for us since we'd all be home and right as I put these in the oven, our power went out. That prompted them to go out and me to eat leftovers. The minute the power came on, I warmed the oven back up to finish these and heated up leftovers from last night.

I was very uninspired for dinner Wednesday night, then I remembered that I had pie crusts in the freezer and a lot of eggs, so I made a couple of quiches. It was so good! I need to remember to do this more often and to keep other things on hand to throw in it instead of just the meat and cheese that was in this one. 

Memories like these above are my favorite. I distinctly remember both occasions. In the first picture, I was laying on the couch after church and settling in for a nap when Jonah came and snuggled up next to me. His sweet little cuddle bug self was always doing this when I would sit or lay down. The boys on the trampoline is such a sweet memory! We had trampolines in our yard for many years, first one and then a second when the first one broke. I cannot imagine how many hours they all spent jumping, but both were well worth the investment. Everyday the boys would do their school work, then I'd send them outside for exercise. 

Those were the days!

Sweet Callie is my favorite dog to see laying on a bed. Isn't she the sweetest? I'd just washed and dried that dog bed cover and she was taking full advantage. Well, that's about all I've got for this week. I'd love to hear from you—how was your week? Thanks for reading, friends! Love to all!
