Where have I been this week? Close to home, the farmers market, the gym, the pool, the community center for an arts opening/memorial service, the grocery store and the library.
What was the weather like? Freezing at night, just above freezing and rain most days. It is what it is, I need to embrace it.
What have I finished this week? A couple of last minute Christmas gifts have been ordered and my wrapping has been completed.
What am I reading? I finished "Pig Years" and I am reading a book on seaweed. There are a couple more on the stack, I will probably to return the library before Christmas.
What is an arts opening/memorial service? The community arts group planned an exhibit by a resident photographer several months ago, and he died before it was scheduled to open. His family wanted to go ahead with the show, and hosted a memorial service celebration of his life for the opening night, with generous food and drink, and friends and family telling stories of a talented and funny man. One story made us all laugh. He was remodeling his bathroom, he called his daughter who is a lawyer saying, "I am at Home Depot to buy a new toilet and they measured my ass and told me it was too big and they couldn't help me, they can't do that can they?" And she took the bait and conferenced in a colleague who practices discrimination law.
What have I been up to in the kitchen this week? Meatballs, bean and bacon soup, nice steaks and baked potatoes.
Who have I reached out to this week? Sunday I emailed three blogger friends. I hope I brightened their days.
When is the next adventure? The end of January to the Valley of the Sun.
Who have I been talking with? My sweet bear of course, neighbors, and the lifeguards at the pool. The guards are often bored, they are also terrific gossips.
What am I working on? Drafting and editing a book chapter I promised to write. I need to learn to say no.
"Close to home but full of life!" I love how your week was centered around community and simple pleasures like the farmer's market and the library. There's something heartwarming about finding joy in everyday places.

Oh dear, you have been hit badly by spam. I am sure you will sort it when you wake. Chatting to lifeguards. Male? Hmm.
