See rules here: Sunday Post Meme. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
My Week:
It’s been another quiet week. We did go out for dinner for the Dine Out Vancouver Festival and had a wonderful meal. Otherwise, just the usual shopping for groceries and gasping at the prices found in our stores these days. I also see a lot of empty shelves again similar to what we saw in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. I’m wondering if this is local or if many of you are experiencing the same thing? The weather has continued to be mild – a mixture of partially sunny days and rainy days. The temperatures this weekend are starting to look a little more seasonal. How many more days until Spring ??

The Way Home is a new series by Hallmark on the Hallmark Channel in the U.S. and the W Network here in Canada. It’s the story of three generations of women in the same family who find themselves living together under one roof. The series stars Andie MacDowell. Here’s the trailer:

Thanks Amanda!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Food is really expensive here too. I’m kind of hoping it will encourage me to eat less. 🙂 I hope you have a great week!

It sounds like you’ve had a productive week with some good reads. I have been seeing more sparse shelves in our local grocery store too and I think it’s because people are buying multiples to stock up. I don’t know what I’ve got planned for the coming week but I hope to finish the current book I’m reading (How the Word is Passed – Clint Smith) and catching up on some blogging! Have a good week!

That could be it Molly! Have a wonderful week ahead and enjoy How the Word is Passed.

Our food prices are crazy these days. Eggs are three times what they were three years ago. We also are having occasional shortages. If I can’t get something at the grocery, I can usually find it at Amazon, though.
I’m glad you’ve read and reviewed the new Michelle Obama book. I feel like I really need her light these days!

Michelle Obama is such an inspiration and motivator! I love her books. Have a wonderful week ahead Deb!
Drew Alexander Ross
Congrats on the productive week! And as always, I love the layout of these posts. And I have noticed some shelves being empty lately here in Los Angeles :/

Thanks Drew! I hope your empty shelves don’t stay that way long.

I think it’s spotty with things rotating in and out of being available. So I tend to buy more stuff when I find it. It may be the January thaw but spring is a good two months out yet.

I have began to do the same thing. Yes I never expect spring before the official start day. Have a great week!

There was only one item on my grocery list that I wasn’t able to find on the shelf today, and that was the heavy cream. I hope 1/2 n 1/2 will work.
thathappyreader
Glad to her you don’t seem to have the shortages. Half and half is coffee cream so I hope you don’t have to whip it! Thanks for reading.
Wendy Williams
I don’t go inside grocery stores much anymore as I’ve become a fan of curbside pickup. But, I have noticed online several items that are not available that used to be available all the time. I’ll have to look for The Way Home as I like Andie McDowell.
thathappyreader
I hope we both enjoy the series Wendy!
Carla
The prices are crazy everywhere Jodie. Apples at Publix in Florida were $4.00 a lb. The weather here is gorgeous though. At home, in Southern Ontario, they had 6 inches of snow today, so I’m glad I’m not there. Have a wonderful week.

I need to visit Florida one winter Carla! Thanks for reading.
