Preparing for my goddaughter and her Mom to come DV this weekend

 After saying I really needed to order some new hangers,

for about 5 years, I finally got some.

I love the pant/skirt 5-skirt hanger + I got some "felt lined" type

hangers that *finally* my wider neck shirts/sweaters do not fall off of.

So that's great. 

Breakfast Tea :)

Gift for my goddaughter, dresses from gift shop at Holy Dormition Monastery... 

I managed to get the box and do the bow and ribbons myself... 

Some cute little plastic totes (made in Israel) for my godkids + Munchkin

with things from St John from my visit to SF CA back in March! 

\

I finally changed the table cloth from dark green to white

for the Paschal season :) 

I did a lot of tidying/sorting/preparing today for my 

goddaughter and her Mom's visit later this week... 

Tomorrow is cleaning + laundry day.

I got recipes for our dinner on Saturday... 

Now I just have the get the ingredients and plan the prep time needed! 

Meanwhile, not surprising after leaving for NYC about 8 AM and arriving back close to 7 PM,

yesterday, today I was tired.... :) 

Well, one thing at a time.

I managed to get the guestroom/library/chapel ready, 

put away a bunch of stuff, prepared gifts and got a handle on the menu for Saturday.

I'd say that's a lot right there!

Today was the first day I really had to myself in weeks; between 3 trips (MI/CA-AZ/MI) 

in 1.5 months, exhaustion/sickness before Holy Week, and last week

being gone everyday (Wednesday being home in AM only), it's 

no wonder I am feeling a bit weary + had no time before today to just be home.

I am reading for the first time L'Engle's Acceptable Time and it's nice to read.

I am definitely going to need some down time/more reading time soon.

Hopefully next week.... 

but as God wills...
