LAST WEEK RECAPPED

I did some car maintenance, got a pedicure and picked up groceries. I was also house and cat sitting all week. While I had a week with less Eagle’s duties, I also realized just how far behind I’ve gotten on my own paperwork and such so guess what I’m doing today. I spent the weekend sorting through the pantry and spices and menu planning.

Despite all that, a girlfriend and I took Friday off and went shopping in a real city where I bought a few new blouses and a summery purse, had a relaxing lunch at a sweet restaurant by the river and I picked up my Hallmark Premiere ornaments before we headed home. YEP, Christmas ornaments.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

Summer reared its ugly head this past week with triple digits and scorching heat. This week is supposed to be a bit better, but will still be in the high 80’s and low nineties. I welcome needing to get some inside work done.

ON MY MIND

It sure seems like the weather is changing all over the country and for the worse in so many of those places!

Just a couple of cooking and baking shows. I’m still watching JAG during the day as a background while I work.

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA

I picked up a little treat toy for KitKat, my cat charge this past weekend she loves it! We went out for dinner to a burger joint on the river with her mom and dad last night when they got home and she actually took a picture of me I don’t hate for a change.
