2023 is off to a quiet start.

Brian spent all week in Switzerland for work. He sent pictures of the pretzel he got at the train station and of the chocolate aisle at the grocery store. Gosh, I miss those things!

I took a walk at the Chicago Botanic Garden twice this week.

One day was cloudy and the other was sunny. Both days were unusually warm for January.

In similarly shaped news… I made a cushion for the back of Claire's bed. 

She wanted something more comfy to lean back on – I guess it's like a headboard – except she has a daybed.

If I can get myself motivated I'm going to spend next week on all the annoying little spots around the whole house that need a paint touch up. And then soon I will paint my dining room. I said it, now I have to do it.

Happy New Year!
