As usual, I am here to remind you that it is Friday!

Well, hello, readers. And a happy Friday. We made it once more to the weekend. I know Mr. Smith is ready.

I am ready too. It was a short week for me, but busy nonetheless. As my mother noted, I successfully got through the Washington’s Birthday Wreath Laying at Lafayette Park. And looked lovely on TV in my puffy coat and pom pom hat.

This was all after I exhausted my social battery at the women’s retreat hosted by my church. It was a lovely day and a half event–but boy was I pooped when it was over! However, I will note that I have grown to really appreciate the women’s ministry. In this modern age, it is refreshing to have events that are geared to women but without expectations or judgement for place in life. I highly recommend finding a church with a strong and active women’s ministry.

And now, to step off my soap box, I thought I would share a few dog related memes. Because I know that’s really why you came to see the Friday post.

Funnily enough, my roommate at the retreat and I discovered we are neighbors. And when I was describing my house, I was like my dog is always in the window and he barks at everyone who walks by. She knew which one was mine.

I’m off to Indiana next week for several days for work. Mr. Smith will head to his favorite place, the kennel. Prayers for safe travel!
