Saturday Senses is a way to capture the spirit of each week.
tasting :: lager and ginger ale. I was introduced to this refreshing delight on the 4th of July by my friend Eric. He claims it is all the rage in Germany. Who am I to not believe him?
hearing :: the Words with Friends alarm on my new iPod Touch. O.M.G. – this machine is amazing! Who knew this game was so addictive? I hope I get better at it with all this practice!
smelling :: lavender laundry soap. Finally had to wash all my clothes to get ready to pack.
seeing :: My favorite British family in a matter of days!
feeling :: Relief! Our housesitters came through at the last-minute {and I didn’t lose my marbles worrying about it} and the dude is able to travel {no kidney stones for now}!
wishing :: You all a lovely rest of July. I’ll be taking a blog break whilst in Europe. Please feel free to check out the archives while I am away, make comments and rate each post with my fancy new 5 star rating system.
What are your senses this Saturday? Looking back, how was your week?
Leave me a comment to tell me made your week memorable.
This weekly tradition was inspired by Pink of Perfection’s Five Sense Friday.
