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!
