LAST WEEK RECAPPED

Once again the week flew by too fast and I had way too much to do to enjoy much of it. So much of it was mundane, but necessary tasks that I am glad to have over! I’m looking forward to a slower pace this week. It will culminate with a birthday lunch with a dear friend next weekend. Our birthdays are 10 days apart so we try and take each other out for a fun day each year.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

We had a FANTASTIC thunderstorm last Wednesday that showed up out of the blue, gave us one heck of a show and also cooled things off quite nicely. Fortunately, most of the lighting was going sideways and not starting new fires in the area. This week is starting out with those same cooler temperatures and some more rain.

ON MY MIND

I refuse to sound monotonous here, so let’s just say things are still settling around here 🙂

TO DO, APPOINTMENTS, DVR/TV & PROJECTS

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS, APPOINTMENTS & DVR/TV

LAUNDRY & CLEANING I’m pretty much up to date. Then again are we ever truly up yo date with laundry? GROCERIES & ERRANDS I’ll be in town tomorrow for a hair cut and pedicure so I will pick up groceries then. We still have our main car in the shop for an electrical issue and as soon as it is done the other one will be going in a list of things. PROJECTS & TRAVELS These things are still on hold for now. RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING I spent most of yesterday researching and planning about the next 3-4 weeks of recipes. DVR/TV The new season is about to start in a couple weeks, but I’m not sure what’s even going to be on these days.

READING TIME

I just finished THE BOOK OF LOST AND FOUND by Lucy Foley and began THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK by Kim Michelle Richardson. Book club met yesterday and we are starting SOMEONE IN THE ATTIC by Andrea Mara.
