Week 150!
How is it in your part of the world? My creeping phlox are beginning to bloom. Somehow or other, I planted three different colors in the same place. Luckily, I like purple so it’s OK. The grass is getting so green. My bonus son mowed it for us this past weekend. Of course, the mowing company then skipped us on their mowing day. But, that’s OK, too. I’m learning, finally, that little things like that just aren’t worth the aggravation. It’s taken me a bit, right? Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I’m not sure about times right now, but I will still be aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Ann of Our New Vista.

Ann says, “Hi – I am a retired School Librarian who loves to read, cook, decorate, travel, and enjoy the good life with my amazing husband of over 40 years! Hope to share my journey of downsizing and enjoying life!” Please visit her here, and let her know we sent you!
