I didn‘t take any pictures this week. During my visit with my dad we enjoyed the last of the season strawberries with carb smart ice cream and he is fantastic at bbqing salmon. We talked books and watched 3 movies: Boys in the Boat, American Fiction and Encanto. And yesterday I got all the necessaries done so the next 3 days are open with possibility.

Tagging everyone to share your joys!
