The Sunday Post #81 – Weekly Wrap-up
Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere.
This was a nice week, where I only had my normal schedule, with teaching and my own classes. And, my mom arrived on Thursday, just for the weekend. She’s leaving again this morning, but it was so nice to spend some quality time with her. And of course, she was so excited to meet Freddy, and to spend time with her grand-children 🙂
The weather has been all over the place this week! It was cool enough to have to get ice off the car in the morning, and t-shirt weather in the afternoon. Now, it’s raining so hard it’s almost dark outside 🙁 Oh well – one day, spring will come, right? Happy first day of May!
This week’s Freddy pics
He loved staying on the deck in the sun, I’m sure it heated him up both from the sun and the deck himself. He spent quite a bit of time out there while it was warm.

So very happy you have a nice week. Those pictures…That face!!! I want to squeeze that little puppy he is just adorable! My Dexter likes to find the sun and sleeps in the small spots that come into the window. In the summer at the shore house he loves to sleep outside when it isn’t to hot. It feels nice on their bones from what I understand.
Have a great week, Lexxie! I am counting down the days! See you soon!
I know, he is adorable, but he’s also a real little rascal sometimes. It’s really hard to tell him off, though, because then he looks at me with sad puppy eyes 😉
One week and one day, Michelle! See you soon xoxo
Nothing like a visit from grandma! I bet Freddy is in love with her (and viceversa). Hope this week is as good Lexxie… Or better! BEA yay!
You are completely right, of course, Daniela 🙂 Freddy and grandma fell instantly in love 😉
That’s great you were able to visit with your mom! And omg, Freddy is just too cute. Love that second photo. My dog likes to sunbathe too. LOL
Yes, it was great to see her, even if the visit was a bit short. It’s always nice to spend some time together 🙂
Sunbathing puppies are so cute!
The weather here has been ridiculous too, started out nice then rained a lot (including today). Pretty cool too, waiting for the warm weather. 🙂 Glad you had a nice visit.
Nice pics too, Freddy looks pretty relaxed there. 🙂
Yeah, we are SO ready for warmer weather and spring here, Greg 🙂
The weather sounds so annoying. But that first photo of Freddy <3 Glad you got to have a break this week with your normal schedule and that you got to spend time with your mom 🙂
He’s so cute, I take more picture of him than of my kids right now, Kristen 🙂

Glad you had a less hectic week. As always, I love the pictures of Freddie and the “Elsewhere in the Blogoshere” list. I’m always finding new discussion posts or possibly one I forgot to go back to. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad my elsewhere in the blogosphere links are helpful, Melanie 🙂 I love finding posts to share.
Freddy is a cutiepie, and it’s nice to be able to share pictures of him 😀
Gah!!! Freddy is too cute for words!!! The weather here has been up and down too. The joys of spring I suppose!! Have a great week!
Yeah, I really do hope that spring is going to really arrive, now, Samantha. Have a great week yourself.
Glad you had a good visit with your mom. Love the weekly dose of Freddy 🙂 Have a great week!
It was great spending some time with my mom 🙂 I’m glad the weekly dose of Freddy is still lovely for other people than me 😉
That doggy though! && I am glad your visit with your mom went well! Sounds like you had a pretty good week! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a fantastic week & happy reading!

Peyton @A Bookish Mess
I did have a great week ) Thanks for stopping by, Peyton 🙂
Freddy is just so adorable! I’ve never been a fan of small dogs, but I want to cuddle him up and play with him. I think you’ve changed my mind! I hope you have a good week!
I always thought that if I was to have a dog, it would be a big dog, but I couldn’t resist Freddy at all 🙂 Have a great week yourself, Lauren.
Grandma visits are the best! And Freddy continues to be adorable. 🙂 Mother Nature is off the rails this year. Someone needs to get her back on track.
I agree, grandma visits are great! Thanks for stopping by!
Adorable Freddy! And how great that your mom could visit…
I loved your post on Keeping Track of Ideas. Pretty notebooks and great organizational skills.
Enjoy your week…I am ogling Finding Audrey…I forgot about it for a bit, but now it’s on my radar again. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Yes, I always love spending time with my mom, she’s amazing! Finding Audrey is really good, Laurel-Rain, I hope you’ll find the time to pick it up!
It sounds like you’ve had a good week this week. I love the latest pics of Freddy, he is utterly adorable! I hope this coming week is a great one for you.
This week should be good, too – nothing special on the agenda, which is really nice. Thanks for stopping by, Hayley.
It’s clearly been a great week – and I love the pics of Freddy. Hope the weather improves – although we haven’t had any snow or sleet showers today so that is an improvement over the rest of the week! Take care and have a fab reading week.
Yes, I love weeks like last week 🙂 It’s nice to just have a normal schedule and move forward at a pace that isn’t too frantic.
Hehe Freddy looks very content in the sunshine (I don’t blame him!) 🙂

I wish I could spend my time lying in the sun, too, Natalie 🙂
It’s nice to have a week with your normal schedule. That’s neat your mom came to visit and meet Freddy. The weather has been weird here too, sunny one day, then cold another and then hail. And today the weather was really pretty and it seemed like the perfect spring day.
And Freddy is so adorable, he seems to enjoy his place on your deck in the sun. I always make me want to rub their bellies when pets lie like that, even though not all pets like it. Freddy looks so cute and adorable! I like seeing the Freddy pictures each week 🙂
I hope you’ll have a great week!
It was great to have my mom here, and she was so happy to meet one of her dog’s offspring – that hasn’t happened before. I really hope the weather will continue to get milder now, I’m so ready for spring and summer!
Freddy loves the sun, and he actually loves belly-rubs, too. He’s so cute when he does that.
Have a great week yourself, Lola.
Glad to hear your weekend with your mom was good. I also love spending time with my mom and catching up. It always makes me feel better.
What a cute pictures of Freddy again. He is getting big too.
We had a beautiful sunny day here today.. I’ll try to send some sun to you! 😛
Have a great week and Happy Reading!
Mom’s are the best people in the world, Maureen 🙂 Freddy is definitely getting bigger, it’s so much fun to see him slowly change from puppy to dog.
It worked – we had sun today! Thank you 🙂
It’s great to hear you’ve had a wonderful time with your mom. I always have a blast with mine when I get to see her. Freddy is so cute! I love his fur. He also seems well behaved, or is that an act? LOL! Sorry the weather hasn’t been as great as everything else seems to be. Have a great week!
I love spending time with my mom – it’s always so good to see her.
I love Freddy’s fur, too, and the well behaved thing is definitely an act – at least sometimes 😉
That’s a bit how our spring is going, too. I won’t be putting the winter clothes away until June, I’m sure. 🙂 Adorable pics!
How fun to get a mom visit! I look forward to mine in July.
Have a good week, Lexxie!
I wanna wear summer clothes and shoes right now, Sophia Rose 😀 I’m going to have to be patient for a bit longer, though 🙂

Glad you got to enjoy a nice week and spent time with your Mom. 10 days lady I am so excited!!
I know!!! I can hardly wait, Kim 😀
I hate when the weather is all over the place! It makes getting dressed in the morning a serious challenge. It sounds like a nice visit with your Mom! The picture of Freddy rolled over on his back is just too cute! I just want to snuggle him! Have a great week!
True! In the morning, I need my winter coat, and in the afternoon, I’m melting 🙂
It was great to see my mom, and I agree, Freddy showing his tummy is cute, I cuddle him all the time 😀
Am still loving the Freddy pics and you sound so in love with him! I love the one of him sprawled out!
Nice to have a visit from your mother as well. I’m spending the weekend with mine at the moment!
I am very much in love with Freddy, Deb, and so is the rest of the family 🙂
Happy you got a good visit with your mother.
Thanks, Jennifer 🙂
Yeah for the good week! We can all use those more often. And Freddy looks so adorable. Look at those eyes. And you want to just rub that puppy belly. LOL
My Sunday Post
Good weeks are definitely nice, and I hope I’ll have a few more, Laura 🙂 That puppy belly is made for rubbing!
Glad you had a great visit with your mom. I love to visit with mine. Freddy is absolutely adorable. I am intrigued by the K.A. Tucker book. Have a great week.
It’s great to see my mom, both because we get along really well, and because we don’t get to see each other all that often 🙂 Have a great week yourself, Nise’ 🙂
Great week you had! Your dog looks so cute! Here’s my Sunday Post: http://rabbitearsbookblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-sunday-post-meme-42.html
He is a real cutie-pie, Ronyell!
How fabulous that your mom came for a visit! Isn’t it great to return to a more normal schedule? I’m hoping to soon, although I’m still nervous about next year! Have a great week!
Normal schedules are heavenly, Charlie! I hope you’ll get back to that soon 🙂
That’s some crazy weather, hope it gets nice and warm soon. Glad you had a good week!
I’m crossing my fingers for nicer and warmer weather, Christy 🙂
I’m so glad to hear that you got to spend some quality time with your mom Lexxie! It’s always nice to spend time with family. Awww Freddy is so cute! Thank you so much for sharing my co-blogging post. Have a lovely week ahead, Lexxie!
I love spending time with family, Jeann 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I’m glad you had a great week and that the visit with you mom was so wonderful. I’m sure Freddy and the kids enjoyed her as much as she did them. 🙂 Hopefully it’s stopped raining. The sun is out here today – after 4 days of snow. Yay! 7 days?!? I’ll see you in 7 days!!! **BIG HUGS**
Me, too, Brandee! It was so nice to see my mom, to hug her and chat late into the evening. It has stopped raining, we had sun today, and it was so nice! My goodness, Brandee! One more week!!! *BIG HUGS*
Freddy is to cute! Good excuse for your mum to visit 😉
Hope the weather is going to be better soon. Have a great week.
Yeah, excellent excuse indeed, Ciska 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Love your Freddie pics! he is such a cutie!
Happy Reading! Dani @ Paulette’s Papers
