Friday Finisher 5/26/17

Published: May 26, 2017 · Modified: Apr 3, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

I think summer may finally be here! It's Memorial Day weekend here in the US and that means grilling, sunshine, and summer fun. But this week has been rainy and gloomy, not May weather. Summer is trying to come, but it keeps getting deterred! I need the healing qualities of sunshine right now and they are few and far between. At least we made it through this week without an emergency trip to the hospital, this time, but it's also slow getting appointments and the tests needed. I haven't really had much more done other than blood work and a CT scan. A new doctor today (Thursday, when I'm writing this) so we'll have to see where that leads us!

Now on to the Friday Finisher and Memorial Day weekend for you all!
