1. I found my 2nd favorite dish soap. This sounds small, but I like to wash dishes by hand. My favorite dish soap in Mrs. Meyers, Basil. But sometimes I need to change it up and little, so I get the Rosemary. I’ve tried several of the other scents, and the only one I like at all is Lavender. And as much as I like Lavender, it’s . . . Lavender. I’d been trying to get some of the Rosemary for several weeks, but it wasn’t on shelves where I used to buy it. Worse, the spot for it on the shelf was gone. I thought maybe it was discontinued. And then I stopped by my local Westlake Ace hardware store for some new birdseed (you know, for the chipmunks that steal it). And there it was, right when I walked in. I snagged 2 bottles right away. Tonight I washed dishes to the lovely rosemary scent, and it was delightful. It’s nice when small things can make you happy.
2. I spent a bunch of time in the kitchen this weekend making chocolate chip cookies and lemon sugar cookies. And while the lemon ones didn’t have tons of lemon flavor, they are still good as sugar cookies with good intentions.
3. I got to visit with one of my favorite people and one of my favorite dogs today. I drove out to see my Aunt Mary and her dachshund Nate. He is a big goofball, and just lots of fun to hang out with. It was great to get hugs and tail wags, and to talk and listen, and to eat and share cookies. It made me very happy to see them!
