Life Last Week (6-12 October 2025)

  

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

The weather for the week ahead:::



These are my kind of temperatures!

On my reading pile:::

 The Venetian Daughter by Ella Carey on my Kindle and I picked up The Last Light over Oslo by Alix Rickloff at the library.


On my TV:::

This week I continued watching The Hardacres on BritBox and the Great British Baking Show on Netflix.  I finished up the Hart of Dixie marathon and Vic and I watched The Gold which was excellent.





Blood of my Blood, the prequel to Outlander, Season 1 came to an end.  Can't wait for Season 2.


Checked off the list:::
  • Amazon Prime Days - 7-8 October - resisted the temptation to shop.
  • Vic arrived home on Thursday after his ten-day trip.  So glad to have him home, and Malone is too!
Crafts roundup:::

Keeping current on my memory planning.  Finished the American Girls Club album so now I've moved on to make some foundation pages for December Daily 2025.  A foundation page is usually a drawing of a page layout, along with any journal cards and embellishments I plan to use.  It may or may not become an actual page in the album.
 
And in other news:::


Week Seven focuses on the Guest Room.

This week, we deep clean and organize in preparation for holiday guests.

In holiday prep, we keep plugging away on gifts, whether to-make or to-buy. Decor alert: Halloween is coming!

I'll leave the links up here if you're interested.



It's been a very quiet week with Vic gone although activity picked up over the weekend.


We started off at Hallmark.  Saturday was the start of the Keepsake Ornament Debut and although I didn't have any ornaments coming out in October, it was fun to browse.


We stopped for lattes and crepes for lunch (that's my Creamy Chicken Crepe with chicken, spinach, bacon, and Gruyere - delicious!) and then headed over to the gourmet market.


Lots of fun pumpkins for sale.


And so many varieties of mushrooms.  The ones in the top left-hand corner look intriguing - they could be mistaken for heads of cauliflower.


And finally, a funny at Costco!  I think he was distracted by the price tag!

It's Day Thirteen of the government shutdown - tough times ahead for many if this is not resolved soon.
