Happy Saturday! I swear it feels like I just hit “publish” on last week’s Saturday Meanderings and somehow we’ve already arrived at Memorial Day weekend. Our best laid plans to escape to the cabin were waylaid this week. But honestly, the weather here in Phoenix has been so beautiful that I really don’t mind lingering…
