GOOD MORNING dear friends. I CANNOT believe that we’re into June! This year is almost half over and half of that was spent quarantined. What a strange world and time we are living in. Has anyone else noticed how what we intend to do or get done doesn’t seem to fall into place lately? Or, is it just me?
We enjoyed our trip to SIL’s house and the lake over Memorial Day, and are glad to be home, but also “anxious” for any semblance of normality. Hubby did confront some uncomfortable family issues over the passing of his father and the execution of the family trust with a different SIL, so I pray that they all work this out without any more issues (though we are not holding our breath as it seems she cannot seem to tell the truth)! Please keep them and us in your prayers.
We did a little exploring of some potential areas to migrate to and find a house project. We are trying to move ahead and seem to be getting closer!

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING We had a wet and cold storm on Saturday with lingering clouds into Sunday, but it’s going to be a gorgeous week in the low to mid 70’s and sunny.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE Hot water and apple peach baby food

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV We rented the Invisible Man which was actually quite good. We’re also halfway thru season 3 of Homeland and have started Snow Piercer which is really a bit odd. Also we have some Good Witch, Worst Cooks, Guy’s Grocery Games and Beat Bobby Flay episodes to watch.

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA We went to the local farm market that just reopened. They were quite limited, but I did find a few things I needed. I also took this cute shot on our way out. Gotta love country life.
We took the back way to see the wildlife, but I LOVE all the old barns along the way!

Hey Hon!
I’m so glad you had a nice trip and a lovely time with family. I loved following along with your pics on insta! I pray that things work out with your hubby and his family too. I don’t know why sometimes that stuff gets so messy. It’s really sad. Love the tip! And the summer in your recipes. Watermelon salad – and that pie!
Yes please!! Yum
Have a blessed weekend ahead. xo
That strawberry rhubarb pie looks gorgeous!
Thank you. It’s what mom requested for mother’s day, so I made a recipe 😀 The recipe will post tomorrow morning.
As always your food all looks so yummy. I’ve forgotten how to actually make a new dish.. It all seems so hard for me these dyas.. I’m stuck with what seems easy!
Thank you! I go in spurts about cooking too. I see a slump coming on soon 😀
No spoilers but Snowpiercer is more than a “bit” odd in my opinion. LOL! I’ve thought about starting Homeland a few times. You seem really happy in your current location? I didn’t realize you were still searching for a place to move. Good luck and I hope you find the perfect place to call home very soon. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Thanks! I think you’d enjoy Homeland – it’s full of political CIA fueled intrigue and Claire Danes as well as Mandy Patinkin are GREAT in their roles! We came back here to help my mom and we do like it here, but it has its drawbacks as far as healthcare and shopping go so we’re still researching. I hope your week is GREAT also.
Hope you find what you are looking for to move on. Nice to know about the green peas (love them!).
Have a great week
Thanks, I do know it will be a more detailed search than previously thought because of what is going on in the world, but will be worthwhile. Have a GREAT week.
