Home and the simple life

Oh, how I wish!  It's been a rough week...3 deaths in my family/friends circle, 1 diagnosis of dementia, another of cancer.  Our gas fireplace is on the fritz, one sump pump has died.  But I did get a new kitchen faucet...no more dripping!  And the Irish Soda Bread I made this morning tastes yummy!

It's the 25th week of the Altered Playing Card challenge...can't believe we've nearly finished one deck of playing cards!
