A Blanket Kind of Day

Busy day playing Bingo with the Rockford Girl Scouts! Joe and I had a lucky streak, we won a blanket for our house and one each for Caleb and Charlotte. Jeremy won two blankets and Megan won one. They allowed each person to win twice, so by the end, Joe and Jeremy each hit the max, and Megan and I each won once.

After we’d collected six blankets (yes, six!), Megan won again and graciously gave her winning card to a woman at another table. I think that moment made me as happy as any of our wins.

We also managed to snag three drawing prizes. By the time Jeremy won, the only thing he found remotely useful was a bright pink water bottle with two pairs of pink socks stuffed inside. Charlotte, of course, was thrilled as she became the happy recipient of Jeremy’s “very pink” prize.

After Bingo, Charlotte, Caleb, Joe, and I sampled this month’s Universal Yums box, featuring snacks from Mexico. We all agreed this one wasn’t our favorite. Most of the snacks were chili-flavored, and even Joe, the least picky of us all, and a true lover of peppers and spice, rated them no higher than “meh.” Charlotte was next in line for picky, since “hot” isn’t her thing.

On our way home from Rockford, Joe and I made a quick stop at Cub for corn tortillas and a couple of ripe avocados. We ended the day with tacos and refried beans the perfect follow-up to our spicy snack adventure.

Now I’m yawning as I type, caught in that awkward zone: too tired for a nap but too early for bed. I might pour myself a small cup of coffee just to make it through the evening.

Hope your day was filled with people you love. ❤️
