Be sure to join Happy Homemaker Monday with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and be sure to wish her happy birthday! Yesterday was her birthday so in my book she gets to celebrate all week.
LAST WEEK RECAPPED
Good morning dear friends. It sure seems like last week, the first week of August literally flew by me. Last week had many appointments and Eagle’s responsibilities as well as the final preparation for the 50% off weekend. The “garage sale” part of the estate sale is over, but I still have large pieces of furniture that no one seems to want at any price. A very dear friend is coming over later this morning to help me box up the clothing, shoes and small chachki type items for donation to the appropriate places. Before declaring it completely over and donating the furniture I’ll try some more Craig’s List and Marketplace listings.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
We’re under a severe heat advisory since yesterday and in the triple digits so am trying to hibernate a bit. Fortunately, we have an air conditioner in the workshop portion of the garage that we’ll be working in today. The temperatures should dip back down by mid week.

READING TIME
Book club met yesterday, but I was at a birthday party. I did finish the book and got there just in time for the last few minutes of discussion. They’ve chosen 2 new books and I haven’t decided which one to read first. They’ve chosen LOVE, MOM by Iliana Xander and A FLICKER IN THE DARK by Stacy Willingham.

MENU PLANS
BREAKFAST is always a work in progress for me – it will generally be hot water and a fruit yogurt 😀

FAVORITE PHOTOS
I had to laugh at this sign in front of the newly re-opened bookstore that had burned in an electrical fire last year. And these are our favorite summer TV snacks. I will be planting these tomatoes again and again each year – they are so sweet it is like eating candy. The cute face belongs to Elliott a Spanish Mastiff puppy who came to visit the estate sale over the weekend. We dropped off some metal pieces for recycling and found this brand new “claw” had been sent for recycling. It was huge! And I just love the field picture for some unknown reason. It is usually full of sheep and much greener!

Wowzers that is hot!! Hibernation sounds like a great plan and lots of fluids. 😉
Love the funny about part time work for a woman Lol So true!
The bookstore sign is so cute- as is Elliot. And your snacks look so good! Best part of summer.
