LAST WEEK RECAPPED

MONDAY~FRIDAY It was a fairly routine week of trivia, shopping, errands and work around the house until it wasn’t. 🙁 Sometimes I forget how delicate my stomach (or lack there of) situation is and I evidently ate the wrong combo of things on Tuesday and ended up missing most of Wednesday to a bad reaction. 🙁 But, I got myself back together on Thursday and prepped dinner and cheesecakes for the Eagles Friday night dinner. I’m still trying my best to keep the Friday night Auxiliary charity dinners afloat, but it’s not looking good!

SATURDAY & SUNDAY It rained most the weekend off and on and was much cooler so I took advantage of the indoor time and did all the laundry, some sorting and donating well as watched a few movies, lunch with friends both days and watched the Banana League baseball games (Savannah Bananas vs. Party Animals) that were being played here fairly locally which were fun and entertaining. STRANGE rules, but full of family fun.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

It’s going to be an absolutely beautiful week in the 70’s with no expected rain. Despite the 80 degree prediction for the 4th of July, we almost always end up cooler and wearing sweatshirts by fireworks time in the evening. We’re. being extra cautious this year with the drought since we back up to the highway with a lot of dry tinder and over zealous celebrators. We heard our first fireworks last night.

TO DO, APPOINTMENTS, DVR/TV & PROJECTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING I WAS caught up on Saturday, but as you know laundry has a definite infinity symbol attached to it!  ∞ GROCERIES & ERRANDS I only have the shopping to do for the Eagles and the Offyce this week as I work out of the freezer and pantry and freezer for us until after we take our trip next week. PROJECTS & TRAVELS We have a couple sprinkler leaks to fix this week before we leave for SIL’s house RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING Nothing until we return from our trip DVR/TV We watched a couple Banana Ball games over the weekend and a couple of movies due to the cooler rainy weather. We saw MERCY with Chris Pratt, the SHEEP DETECTIVES with Hugh Jackman and BATTLESHIP with Liam Neesom and Taylor Kitsch THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY cool cloudy days with BIG fluffy clouds… fresh popped popcorn with a good movie… getting organized and maintaining the balance… clean fluffy towels… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PARTIES For anyone that’s interested I’m helping out a friend and  I’m having an online Pampered Chef party for the next few weeks.

READING TIME

I’m about half way through THE UNDERGROUND SISTERS by Soraya M Lane. I really enjoy WWII stories, especially those with female protagonists.
