Goals For the Next Week:

Clean our walk-in closet. I’ve been talking about it for two months. I’m collecting things for the thrift center. There is so much to put in bags. It’s a charity that helps homeless people get back their lives. It’s one way of helping.

Dinner on Wednesday night with our daughter, Chris and her hubby. We’re going to a steak house. I can’t wait. I love filet mignon. Or maybe I might try the fish. I like to get shrimp or salmon.

Wednesday and Thursday are my days for watching Beverly. She's 89 and just needs a little help. I'm glad to do it. We have great discussions.

Thursday is a medical phone call. I sometimes miss them. I prefer appointments. I never forget them.

On Sunday, we’re having a nice dinner with my daughter and son-in-law. I’m making a new recipe for dinner and dessert. Thankfully I love cooking and baking. Oh that’s on the 1st. Tomorrow I’m making another new recipe for some friends of ours.

I’m getting my hair cut this week. I look frightful. 😂😂

That's about all I have going this week. I didn't mention chores that I do daily because they're boring. If I was rich I'd have. A housekeeper. I hate cleaning. I do it but hubby helps a great deal.

I hope you all have a good Sunday.
