One Hundred Dollars a Month – Mavis’ Weekly Highlights 2/16/19

“It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkin

Hello Saturday! What a beautiful morning here in New England. Miss Lucy is still snuggled up in bed, the sun is out, the skies are blue and a high of 36 is predicted for this afternoon.

On the agenda for today:

• Recycling {and treasure hunting!}
• Help the HH complete my potting bench 🙂 🙂 🙂
• Work on enormous rug hooking pattern
• Draw out shamrock for the HH to cut out {then paint, and hang on the front door}
• Finish laundry, clean kitchen, take a nice long walk
• Make some soup with the left over pot roast
• Map out trip Connecticut Garden Show adventure with stops
• Borrow audiobook from library for mini adventure

It’s going to be a busy day.

I also wanted to add that I cashed in some of my Amazon Digital credits to rent the movie The Bookshop a few days ago. It was slow, a nothing ever seems to change in small towns, but good in a Chocolat with Juliette Binoche kind of way type of movie. I love quirky little English films so if you like those too, you might want to check it out.

Have a great weekend everyone,

♥ Mavis & Lucy
