What’s happening this weekend? Will and I are looking forward to watching season 3 of The Bear (although the first two episodes … I don’t know, friends), plus visiting with family and finishing a great audiobook. (At least it’s great so far. Fingers crossed!)
I hope you have something to look forward to this weekend, and that this collection of interesting reads and favorite things helps ease you into that weekend frame of mind.

Just want to say hello and that yours is an email that I open every time. There is always something delightful.
Thank you. ☺️
The Bear… I have a love/hate relationship with this show. It’s a brilliant show. So brilliant at putting me in the same stressful situations that I almost can’t take it.
I love it, but can only stomach one episode at a time, and I usually LOVE a binge watch haha.
Anne’s comment has me intrigued—if you made it through seasons 1 & 2, I think 3 (so far, I’m only a few in) is right on par with the rest!
