It has been a BUSY week
and I’ve enjoyed most of it!
Here are the HIGHLIGHTS courtesy of my
Friday Favorites!
Favorite # ONE
The Right Stuff
Thirty years later, this “boy band” has still got it!
New Kids On The Block may not be New (formed in 1984), but they are undoubtedly better than ever!
After their split in 1994, NKOTB reconnected in 2007 and have been going strong since!
On Friday night LB and I had the opportunity to see them in concert.
You can read all about that adventure HERE.

Favorite # TWO
Saturday Afternoon
Spending the day with the birthday girl!
Before we launched Barbie and a new boat,
I learned all sorts of things from Lydia.
She explained that there are others meant to be a part of this particular boating adventure. 
With Lydia looking on, I checked into this on my iPhone and found
Both Lydia and I were equally mesmerized.
Lydia was convinced that I could buy them all right from my phone.
Immediately.
Instead we decided to explore further.
We moved our investigation upstairs to watch on the big screen and found more!
Although it had escaped my attention, I learned that Barbie and her family are featured in a variety of programs to view on internet/television.
There is
and
and the pièce de résistance
Barbie meets Isla:
and so…
Favorite # THREE
is
Isla
The Transforming Mermaid
which I ordered on Amazon Prime Day. 
This surprise will be presented to Miss Lydia on a day when a surprise is deemed necessary.

Favorite # FOUR
Bread
The low carb kind.
This week, for the second time, I made a low carb, gluten free bread:
this recipe from Castle in the Mountains is very good!
Although it will never replace Sunbeam or Wonder Bread, it will satisfy a carb craving for the carb starved Paleo, Keto, and gluten free folks.

Favorite # FIVE
A Mid-Week Date Night Surprise to see a
Movie
The Lion King
remake of Disney’s 1994 animation has been a much anticipated film.
LB and I got to see it before opening night!
was awesome!
From the very first scene, I was captivated, much the same way I was when I saw the original. The animals were amazing. The hyenas were SCARY! Timon and Pumbaa were hilarious! If I didn’t find myself tearing up, I had a smile on my face.
I highly recommend!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
