LAST WEEK RECAPPED

GOOD MORNING I had a busy week that seemed to speed by faster than a NASCAR race! I did manage to take yesterday off and sort some recipes, binge watch a little Matlock and sort some fall clothes. I’m jumping right into today’s HHM so I can get going early and get back early.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

We REALLY need some rain!!!! This drought is so dangerous here for fire season.

TO DO, APPOINTMENTS, DVR/TV & PROJECTS

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

LAUNDRY & CLEANING Just towels and bedding to do. I got everything else done over the weekend. I cleaned out dresser drawers yesterday and organized by season. GROCERIES & ERRANDS I’m headed to town in a bit to pick up a few things. I want to get everything done before the heat gets too unbearable. I have a pedicure later this week. PROJECTS & TRAVELS Hoping to get word on the car today or tomorrow so we can plan the family reunion trip. THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY happy endings to books I love!… finding new authors that I LOVE as much as my favorites…a good hair cut… finding a new recipe that tastes better than it sounds…

READING TIME

I’m reading the Baking Games by Rachel Hanna and Side Trip by Kerry Lonsdale.
