Friday Favorites, January Edition #1

It's the first Friday Favorites of 2025; the first of what I hope will be fifty-two in total! It's a lofty goal, but I have faith in myself.

I'll start with this motley crew:

Oscar invited us all to dinner at his and Emily's favorite Italian restaurant in Hooterville. After being so bitterly disappointed in the new pasta place in town the week before, we were looking forward to a much better experience. Pahgre's did not disappoint!

And, speaking of motley crews:

Last night, Mom and I went to Bunco at Tonia's house (you may remember her as the Booster Club President, Extraordinaire or BCPE). Tonia chose a pajama party theme for her hosting night, so sixteen of us gathered in her home in our most comfortable jammies. The company was awesome, the food was yummy, and I won five bucks. Can't beat that!

Lastly, I went to one of the antique stores in Hooterville today and found a copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I read this book back in middle school (probably earlier; I was an avid reader and a bit precocious in my book selections). This copy is in great shape, and I'm looking forward to revisiting the story.
