Saturday Snapshots

*breakfast with a girlfriend*

*errands...my baby needs his sensors cleaned*

*paper shopping - my version of shoe shopping*

*taking my meds - that pulled tooth has been SO much fun...*

*beautiful day in the neighborhood*

*afternoon refreshment*

*snail mail time*

*craft time*

*burgers on the grill*

*crescent moon*

It was an easy Saturday.

Along with all this, we caught up on Breaking Bad,

watched the Sox win a game

and did a bit of that weekend cleaning.

I also enjoyed playing with some iPhone aps as I instagrammed my 10 on 10!

It's a great blessing when 'normal' feels so relaxed and wonderful.
