1. I finished reading A Paris Apartment by Michelle Garle. I enjoyed it, but thought it could have been even better! Based on the true story of a treasure stocked Paris apartment that had been closed for seventy years. Amazing!
2. The Rice baseball team is away this weekend, which means I have the weekend to do whatever I want. The weather is supposed to be close to perfect, so sitting outside near the pond and reading sounds like a good idea.
3. The Final Four is in town ... lots of traffic. No, I'm not going, but will watch on television.
4. I'm getting a hair cut today and then off to the grocery store.
5. I've put my crochet hook down and got out my knitting needles. I find that crochet is easier on my hands, but I found a knit shawl pattern that looked pretty quick and easy so I thought I'd give it a go.

It's so nice to have Nancy back with Random 5 Friday.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
Wonderful photo of the Eiffel Tower. I fear on our tour this time we did not get a close as you have. Jealous! Have a grand weekend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about Paris. I wonder if I would enjoy this book.
ReplyDeleteI think you have the right idea. just sitting and reading while it's quiet and you are alone. That's what I would do.
Hello, gorgeous view and photo. The book sounds interesting! I am not into watching basketball. Good luck with your knitting, I hope all goes well. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your knitting and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely Paris photo.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time alone.
I'm not into Basketball so I won't miss watching the Final 4
Reading I do enjoy so I'll have to write that title down and see if our library has it.
Hope you enjoy your knitting, I look forward to seeing your shawl! Thank you for taking part in Five On Friday, I hope you have a great weekend! xx
ReplyDeletethere was a bit of time when i could manage neither - knit or crochet . . (or a bazillion other things my hands used to do . . ) Now you have me wondering if it's time to give it a try . . hmmm . . . you've given me hope. THANKS
ReplyDeleteI crochet, wish I could knit, but pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle 2 needles, I'd knit myself into a ball. Not much of a basketball fan, but I'm looking forward to the start of baseball season.
ReplyDeleteHappy Memories! Praise God for them. Now I am interested in this book you wrote of; what a find. That would give me terminal goosebumps.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely weekend by your pond.

love your shot of the Eiffel Tower...I have a similar photo from my holiday in 2011. I am crocheting a blanket atm....I love it but strangely, I find it very hard on my fingers and hands....they get so sore.
ReplyDeleteYour hands are always busy, Snap. I love the Paris photo! Good Luck to your Rice team.
ReplyDeleteLovely angle on the Eiffel tower photo, and I enjoyed reading your Friday Five. Thank you so much and enjoy your Sunday :)

Thank you so much for participating my friend! I would love to cut my hair shorter, but the "Mr." is not in favor of it. Rats. Have an awesome week and hope to see you this Friday. xo
ReplyDeleteI have seen photos of that Paris apartment--a very interesting story.
ReplyDeleteI am getting my hair cut tomorrow by a new stylist. Hoping for a miracle--lol--as my hair is changing texture and needs it!
What a truly fantastic image of the tower. Paris is always on my mind come Spring. I hope that you + yours are enjoying the change of season. x
ReplyDeleteLovely monochrome photo! A very good week!
