The Friday Five Good Things

 

Five good things that happened this week.

1. I'm so glad I decided to bring my Winter jacket with me for the trip.

2. Looking for a really good Margherita pizza? Try the Brickyard Hollow Brewing Company in Ogunquit, Maine.

3. Clam chowder and haddock bites at Billy's Chowder House in Wells, Maine. I had Maine blueberry pie for dessert, too, with whipped cream. It's too cold to have ice cream now.

4. Since we had to go to the Norseman to check out, we got an extra walk in at Ogunquit Beach

5. When I got home from my trip, Himself gave me a present. Handwarmers. He was hoping they would come in before I left for Maine. Still lots of time in the season to use them. Because of Reynaud's Syndrome, my hands are always cold.

How was your week?

TBT: Reprints from CJ's Whine and Cheeze

  In 2003, Ma had a stroke. Dad was her full time caregiver until he he had a car accident that totaled the car. So in 2006, I became their chauffeur among other jobs.

At the time, to deal with the stress of running two households and working, I kept a blog entitled CJ's Whine and Cheeze. Egged on by some friends who enjoyed the first read through, you'll see your part when it comes by.

Doodle for Stress Reduction

 

On Mondays via Zoom, I participate in a class where we spend  a half an hour doodling our stress away. 

The suggestion for this class was to draw a leaf and fill it with wavy lines. You could add doodles in between the lines or words.
