Friday's Favorites Fare

READING:  The Assyrian Empire by John Boardman   

LISTENING TO:  Tom Petty (a friend had the nerve to refer to it as "oh, the old tunes" and I am aghast)
SWIMMING NEWS:  High School Girls Sectionals today and tomorrow... Go Lady Greyhounds! 

COOKING BYTES:  Having a great time reading One Big Table and trying recipes from it...a history of regional cooking with personal stories and vintage photos and recipes.  

FAV NEW FIND:  It's February and that means one month closer to spring.  Be still my heart!

FAV THING THIS WEEK:  We had terrible weather this week, snow, ice, sleet, cold...that was NOT my favorite thing, but my favorite thing was that school was canceled for 3 days so I got to have Matt (and Mark for one of the days) home which was really nice...getting to spend time with the guys always a favorite thing.  And, in the photo above, taken yesterday, the icicles are starting to melt a bit...just a bit.

GOING TO:  Hang around the house this weekend...it's still cold and besides girl's swimming sectionals, Mass, choir, etc., am thinking this is a great weekend to stay in and watch Big Ten Basketball and a little thing called the Super Bowl.  IU beat the #21 team (Illinois) last week and the #20 team (Minnesota) this week, so just who knows how far the Hoos can really go this year?  Already better than we dreamed.  Hawks beat MSU which wasn't bad either.

PRAYING FOR:  All those facing surgery and recovery, please join me.
