Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny Saturday:

1. I’m heading down to Waco for Chi-O Mom’s Day. I’m not sure what we are doing, but I’m here for all of it.

And in amazing news?

I’m wearing bell bottoms. Watch out world.

2. The chicks have hatched in the nest in the wreath on our window. I’ve watched the mama bird fly in and out and feed all those hungry baby birds.

3. I got the sweetest present last week from my friend Liz. She made Buddy two of the most beautiful blankets. He LOVES them and now his dog bed is even cozier.

Liz is our new favorite person.

4.  Have you watched any of the seasons of Love is Blind on Netflix? I just finished season 4 and it’s really good if you like reality dating shows.
