GOOD MORNING sweet ladies.  I hope you had a wonderful week and enjoyed your Independence day celebrations!  Ours was a quiet 4th.  I helped a friend paint her new house and hubby pulled his back so spent it on the heating pad! 

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING We’re still trying to narrow down “where” we are going to settle for good and are taking a small trip this week to immerse ourselves into one of the areas we are considering.  And by immerse I mean walk the streets and neighborhoods, talk to the local people and get a true feel for the area.  The weather was predicted to be MUCH warmer when I first started watching it, but a “cool” front has evidently moved in and dropped the temps by 10 degrees!  We’re going to be LOVING it!

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE hot water and cheerios

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE, WEEKLY TO DO LIST, HOUSE & CRAFT PROJECTS, APPOINTMENTS

  • BLOG… there are a few recipes set to post this week, but I need to get caught up on translations 😀

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA I spent the 4th of July helping my friend paint her upstairs in preparation for the carpet installation today.  We got A LOT done!  Her mom and the youngest munchkin made us a foursome for the day until the middle munchkin got home from a sleepover and joined the fun.  My favorite photo was of the munchkins helping paint their brother’s bedroom.  Just look at those smiles – I can NEVER resist them!

Those look like high-quality paint helpers. Love their grins.
I sympathize with your husband and the back pains. I’m not sure what I did to mine last week but it’s still hurting even after a few days of prescription strength muscle relaxers. Hope he gets to feeling better soon.

That lemon shrimp fettucini looks really scrumptious. I’ve been in a huge shrimp mood lately, going to have to try it out soon.

HI Tamy!
Hope that your hubby is feeling better! And you’re such a great friend – all that painting work. That’s awesome!
Love the water tips. I need to get so much better at that. I hope you have a blessed week ahead my dearest. ❤️

Sandra

LOL you and I really are on the same wavelength, I was just looking at a graphic of that water drinking advice. I mean, seriously? hahahah

Hope you’re enjoying your trip. Have a wonderful blessed week, my friend 🙂
