I Spy: Week 33

Hey, hey, hey -- look at me! I'm posting an I Spy post on a Saturday! Gasp. What is even happening in blog world?!?!? This is an even more miraculous occurrence because my week did not turn out at all like I'd planned. I'm hoping to write more about that on Monday but let's just say my summer vacation ended unexpectedly on less than 24 hours notice. Womp, womp.

However, today is about I Spy, and as always, I'm linking up with Lysha at A Camera and A Cookbook. And I need to give a shout out to Dave as he helped me come up with some ideas for some of these prompts.

Let's Play iSpy 2021

{stuck}

This is a picture from earlier this week when our smoke detectors went off twice in half an hour with no discernible cause. The second time it happened, we were "stuck" outside at 1am until firefighters could go through our house with sensors and determine there were no issues.

(There were no issues and they think the problem might have been that two of our smoke detectors were expired.)

I'm so happy we did a bunch of yard work in the front yard this past weekend. Our front yard, at least, is looking pretty good right now! I love summer when everything is blooming.

I don't actually know if these are "ink" but these are the original blueprints from our house. Our house was built in 1942 so these blueprints are eighty years old. The previous owners found them in the basement and framed them and left them with the house.

Challah on the cutting board which my dad made me -- there is a lot in this picture which "starts with 'C.'"

Rachel has had a ton of extra dance this week as she is taking her first ever dance exam this morning. It was supposed to happen in the spring but Covid delayed it. She has been working so hard and I'm so happy she will get to finally take her exam.

Thank you for being interested in my life as I blog it and for leaving a comment. Comments make me happier than reading a good book and drinking a cold Coke. Almost :)
