Week in Review

We went out to a new area to for a nature walk Saturday, near the Haskell Canyon Open Space in Saugus. We brought the girls' bikes, and they rode the mile and a half from where we parked, down to the city's newish archery range. What a neat free amenity! The girls agreed they'd like to take lessons when life gets back to normal.

 On Sunday, we returned to the same area, and took a hike. It was just gorgeous. Spring in SClarita, when the hills are green, is awesome.

 Notice anything different? The girls really hadn't used the trampoline the last year or two, and we're ready for a more grownup patio. I put a photo of the trampoline on Facebook, and our former neighbor was happy to come pick it up the following day. It's great to know it's living on, and getting a lot more use again.

 The girls both loved The Chosen TV series, and so we bought them hoodies from the show. They arrived this week, the final day of our fabulous weather before the heat arrived.

They wore their new apparel on a scooter ride to Granary, where they got ice cream.

 We started a puzzle, and Spencer jumped into the box where I was setting aside edge pieces. He's helpful like that.

 Violet loves her kitties, especially Spencer. I glanced outside to find them sharing a sweet moment together.

I saw a group on Facebook that was working with local restaurants to promote $6 specials during the quarantine.

I saw that one was for a nearby sushi place, for two rolls for $6. It was so popular, I had to call over and over for nearly an hour. When I got through, I felt like I'd hit the lottery. All this was about $13 (with tax)! I was proud of the fam - everyone tried my tuna roll.

Another sweet moment: I forced the girls outside, and they were playing with their swords. And then I found them doing this - Vi is hiding under the sheet. Oh, sisters.
