GOOD MORNING sweet friends. I’m still playing catch up after our trip, but I’ll get there this week. We had a good trip and it was informative in the way that it ruled out several places and routes for us for. I took yesterday to do not much at all other than catch up with my friend and munchkins, prep parts of today’s dinner which is labor intensive, made a Pennsylvania Dutch Apple pie, dishes, vacuumed, organized, laundry… oops I guess I didn’t take yesterday off after all!
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING It’s been a tad warm in the afternoons, but with a slight breeze so not really too bad at all… for summer… 😀 This morning’s uniform is cutoffs and a soft t-shirt
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE hot water and yogurt
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE, WEEKLY TO DO LIST, HOUSE & CRAFT PROJECTS, APPOINTMENTS
- LAUNDRY, LIVING AREAS & KITCHEN… done and clean
- APPOINTMENTS & TO DO… just a couple
- BLOG… still working on some updates and new recipes
- CRAFTS/PROJECTS… ?? maybe depends on some other activities this week
WHAT IS ON THE DVR, I LIKE OR ON THE LIST TO WATCH/SOMETHING INTERESTING I WATCHED all caught up and DVR empty – summer makes TV watching just plain weird
I’M READING same book as last week – just came seem to stay awake long enough to get more than a paragraph or two read which kind of sucks since I am enjoying the book.
Love Among Lavender The Merriams #2 by Ava Miles
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA We’re back and I haven’t yet sorted pictures, but I love this one of Multnomah Falls. I wish I knew the people in the bottom of this picture, but they gave it context either way 😀

I’m late visiting this week. Oh my, I’m a little (a lot) off on that how often to clean things tip. Yikes! Beautiful photo! Funny announcement. Hope you had a wonderful week & a great weekend so far.
Hey Tamy my Girl!
You definitely didn’t take it easy and have been a very busy Lady. Tsk tsk. Lol
Love the FAlls – so pretty! And that engagement photo is absolutely precious. Your inspiration and latest dishes all are wonderful as always!! Love this time to catch up with you each week dear Friend – as well as on insta & FB.
Blessings to you and have a great rest of the week. ❤️
That waterfall is gorgeous! The floating fruit cake looks yummy!
I laughed so much at that the wedding announcement with the dog. The floating fruit cake sounds yummy. I’m craving sweets lately and that one I can at least pretend is healthy lol.
Hope you have a great week.
I love that waterfall photo and your menu listed, they look super yum. Thanks for commenting on my Fruited Pull Apart Bread, glad you like it….
What a amazing photo. The waterfall is gorgeousness. It looks like a beautiful place to visit.I love the photo of the dog. It’s probably one of the best I’ve seen. I’m sure my sweet puppy felt that way when I got engaged a few years ago.
Greetings, Tamy! Looks like the start of another busy week and playing catch up is always fun! Your pics are lovely (as always), but the one of the waterfall is absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful, beautiful world we live in! Hope your Monday is off to a great start and blessings for a great week ahead!
Wow, you are one busy lady… I wish I had a tenth of your energy… I cant imagine all the beautiful food you cook… Amazing! And oh, my goodness, where is that gorgeous place in the photo! The waterfall and bridge… looks familiar like a place I’ve read about! Wonderful!!!
