Week 30 Links I Love: Year 2025
Bonjour and happy Sunday! We are home from our trip to Cape Ann and Henri is snuggled up next to me as I write this. I was able to work on links while my husband drove home. We made a stop in Cleveland on Friday night and I stayed up way too late watching Friends. It has been so long since I have watched Friends and it was enjoyable after the long car ride.
My husband and I unpacked the car and our suitcases and were able to start laundry and pick up all groceries all within a few hours. In the late afternoon, we pushed ourselves to get back into our gym routine and succeded. There is still a little to do get the house back in order. It feels good to be home.
There are a few boxes tha were delivered while we gone including my one Nordstrom purchase that is my Sunday project. My amazing neighbors picked up the first copies of Paris Every Day that were delivered and I cannot wait to open the box.
