Miscellaneous stuff keeping me busy ~

• Guys, I read great book - "My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry" by Fredrik Backman (he wrote 'Man called Ove' which is also really good). I didn't think I loved it when I started reading so wasn't paying much attention to a bunch of stuff that ties back in later in the book; I actually re-read the first half after finishing the book so I'd get all the stories and clues. Ended up loving this book and recommend for sure. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• made myself a color-coded weekly schedule to help stay on task and get stuff done! This took a surprising amount of time - good thing I didn't have the schedule done before I made the schedule because I don't have an open time slot allotted for wasting so much time making a schedule. 😂😂😂 I do love me a schedule tho...
• visited the battleship USS Iowa with Al and Cathy, here's a few pics:

this appeals to my love of crafts!

I've never seen a recipe that feeds 2,500 people?!! 

saw this hanging in the ship kitchen - I should frame it and hang it in my kitchen! 

Hope you had a great week - stop back often to see what else I think of to make, bake, organize, schedule...

Sincerely ~
