Five on Friday - March 22, 2024

Hello!  Happy Friday!  We are taking a little trip this weekend and I can't wait to get it started.  It was on my bucket list to see the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC and that item just might get checked off the list this weekend!  Before we head out, let me share my five for the week ~

1.  Earth Hour
Have you heard of Earth Hour before? I just heard about this grassroots environmental movement for the first time this year and it seems pretty cool.  For one hour, starting at 8:30 pm, this Saturday night turn off all your lights.  Last year, over 410,000 hours were given to our planet by supporters in over 190 countries and territories.  Help make this year even bigger by turning your lights off for 60 minutes on Saturday!ng you love!


2.  The #1 Lawyer
Hey, James Patterson fans - his newest book was released this week.  Here's the summary ~
Biloxi’s best criminal defense attorney has never lost a case. Then his client’s beautiful wife is murdered, and America’s #1 lawyer suddenly becomes its #1 suspect.

Stafford Lee Penney is a small-town lawyer with a big-time reputation for winning every case he tries. In his sharp suits and polished Oxford shoes, Penney is Biloxi, Mississippi’s #1 Lawyer and top local celebrity.

Just as Penney notches his latest courtroom victory, his wife is scandalously killed. He spirals into a legal and personal losing streak, damaging his reputation and ruining his career.

That’s when Penney makes a bold decision. He stops trading on his power-lawyer identity and creates a new one: lawyer lifeguard. Moonlighting at the beach, showing up to court in flip-flops, mentoring a law student, the new Penney is at first unrecognizable.

It’s said that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. But when Penney is accused of murder, the #1 Lawyer will find a way to triumph.

3.  Rain Jacket
The weather for our trip kept showing rain, then no rain, rain, then no rain.  As of today, there's a 95% chance it will be raining on Saturday.  Luckily, I ordered a new rain jacket from Amazon last week and love it!  It has a hood in case you get stranded without an umbrella and flap pockets so nothing will tumble out of them.  It also comes in a boat load of colors!


4.  Indoor Fire Pit
I saw this indoor fire pit in an ad the other day and now I'm obsessed!  This is definitely going on my Mother's Day wish list.  I'm picturing sitting it on a table outside this spring and eating al fresco.  How cool would that be?!?  It comes in two sizes and has great reviews.  

5.  This is me...


Okay, I'm off!  If you follow me on Instagram, hopefully, you will see some pictures with a ton of cherry blossoms in them.  While we're strolling around DC, we will also be keeping an eye on the NCAA tournament scores.  (Thanks Kentucky for majorly screwing up our bracket!)  What an exciting weekend ahead!  Hope yours is great!
