Relaxing in the nest this long weekend. Watching movies and just noshing the past couple of days. Caddyshack, First Man, TG day parade, dog show, episode 4 of mandelorian… pretty sedentary. Today I think we will be shaking off some dust and walking with the family a bit, mainly because my MIL is getting cabin fever. I am glad she is, otherwise I would fully devolve into a TV lump. #nestbear #bearnest
