LAST WEEK RECAPPED

GOOD MORNING I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. Half of July is done and over. Can you believe that????? I just have to say this so please forgive me?

When I was at Marshalls the other day they were putting out sweaters and jackets. I just CAN’T believe how quickly time is flying by!!!!!!

MONDAY~FRIDAY Long story short we didn’t get to go on our trip 🙁 Took my car in for the oil change and tire rotation only to find out that we had a problem with the serpentine belt and they couldn’t get to it until Thursday so we pivoted. We did head up to the next BIG town on Friday and had a great Italian Lunch ad picked up my Hallmark Christmas ornament order.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY Since we weren’t even supposed to be here we didn’t do any BIG projects. Hubby did fix a sprinkler leak in the back yard and I weeded the garden after we went out to breakfast with friends. There were a lot of events going on around town and the surrounding area… Lavender Festival, Country Fair, Sutherlin Stampede rodeo and parade, Farmer’s Market, Graffiti weekend and car show… and I even got 5 loads of laundry done.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

The weather is supposed to be truly beautiful again this week. Lows in the 50’s and highs in the high 80’s, but not getting truly warm until 3ish in the afternoon.

Hello dear Tamy!
So sorry about the car. But it sounds like you did make the most of the weekend!
I hope that it’s a quick and easy fix.
I just ordered from another friends pampered chef or I would. I love a lot of their things.
Love all the fun inspiration you always share.
Blessings on your week. xo
