Have a fun weekend

Good afternoon, friends, and happy Friday! Wait, do you hear that? Shhh, just listen for a moment. What’s that, you wonder? Oh, you know…just the sound of silence! Nothing!! Utter quiet!! After a long day yesterday of roofer madness — pounding, pulling, nailing, debris flying everywhere, me turning Demi Lovato up to drown out said pounding — everything is DONE! I never thought I’d appreciate the tranquility of a quiet house quite like I am today. It’s a great way to usher in the weekend. And speaking of the weekend, do you have any fun plans? I got pretty energized last weekend, so I’ll be continuing my Great Clean project and see how much more I can get done over the next two days! Hope you all have a great weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…
