Intentions for the Week- Week 36  in 2021

​​Happy Monday friends!
 
Can you believe we are on week 36 of 2021? WILD!  This weekened Casey worked on our picnic table (he’s making us one from scratch). I went on a walk with our old neighbor, and I made a dent on my paper piles around the house. WHEW! I have a couple of little spots to finish but BOY DOES THAT FEEL GOOD.  Cooper has a baseball tournament this labor day weekend so I am sneaking on here to get my Intentions for the Week down! Here they are!
