On Friday, after my Daily Pages show, Jeff and I took a drive out to Detroit for the afternoon. I wanted to pick up some paint at Blick, and we checked out an amazing sandwich shop while we were downtown.
Since we were already out there, we stopped at a few other places, including IKEA, The Container Store, and our favorite Italian grocery shop. It was the perfect little day trip, and a great addition to my Week in the Life album. I’ll keep updating on that project over the next few weeks as I continue to put the finished album together.
