Another week. This one included a day in Illinois, a date night walk and board game, a library trip, camping at PSU and the white out, antiquing, a coffee, homemade meals, workouts, reading, and quality time together. Average weeks are special. 🩷 Another typical week over here. Full of puppy snuggles, lots of library book reading, blog writing, PSU footbal, a visit to a National Park, sunset at the beach, morning pages and sun roses, and a camp breakfast. This past week looked like working on new blogs, back to back camping trips, antique stores hunting, lot of reading, some treadmill walks, girls night with charcuterie, a hospital visit and a library visit, and toilet paper eating puppies. This is a typical week. Highs and lows and in betweens. Another typical week around here - library books, crockpot meals, puppy love, writing, new recipes, and a camping trip and PSU game. 🐾📚📝
