Five on Friday - February 21, 2025

Oh boy - we've had a cold, cold week!  Some heat is coming our way this weekend and I'm looking forward to temps above freezing.  Spring will be here soon, right?!?  While we wait for warmer weather, let's take a look at my five for this week ~

1.  Reacher Season 3
Hey all you Reacher fans - Season 3 has begun.  Three new episodes were released yesterday on Prime and there will be a new episode each week through March 27.  Reacher, a veteran military police investigator, will be investigating a series of crimes and conspiracies.  Season 3 is an adaptation of the seventh "Jack Reacher" novel, "Persuader".  The season picks up as Reacher, now a drifter, becomes embroiled in a rescue mission of an undercover DEA informant while confronting his own haunted past, according to Prime Video.

I saw the coolest thing the other day in the elevator at work.  A girl had an insulated sleeve on her iced coffee.  It even had a handle!  When I commented on how cute the pattern was, she said it was great for keeping the cold beverage off her hands.  How ingenious!  She said she got them from Amazon, so I looked them up the minute I got to my desk.  Yes, they then went straight into my cart!  I'm thinking they will be great in the winter to keep my hand off the cold cup and in the summer to help the ice not melt as fast.  The things you learn in the elevator...


Next week I'm going on vacation with 4 of my friends to Tybee Island, Georgia.  I'm so excited to spend a few days just hanging out at the beach and exploring Savannah with them.  Then we are all driving back to St. Louis together.  I'm bringing along TableTopics Road Trip to Go to help pass the time.  The set includes 40 family conversation cards.  It will be a fun way to spark insightful discussions and will help make the long ride home more enjoyable.  This set is good for the whole amily!


4.  Cotton Candy Flavored KitKats
KitKats are introducing, for a limited time, a new flavor - Cotton Candy!  The traditional milk chocolate exterior coating has been switched out for a blue-hued, cotton candy flavored, white chocolate that pairs perfectly with their crisp, then, wafer layers.  Apparently, this new twist of KitKats is available in select retailers nationwide for a limited time.  They also can be found at Costco, where they are sold in a variety pack with includes the milk chocolate and vanilla KitKat bars.

5.  Yep...


Have a wonderful weekend! We've got a busy few days ahead—tonight, we're having dinner with our son and daughter-in-law. On Saturday, I’m meeting with the couple I’m assisting with their wedding at their reception venue. Then on Sunday, we’re catching up with friends for lunch after church. Lots to look forward to! See you next week!

  1. I’m smiling so big because just not too long ago. My sensor started going off because of my car passenger seat bag! Too funny. I actually love cotton candy so I will definitely give those a try just to see what they are like! Those insulated drink sleeves are so cool

  2. I have just spotted Reacher on Prime and did think about starting to watch it. It's on my list of things I will get around to eventually.
    Ohh! I love the sound of those new KitKats. I will have to look out for those.
