I CANNOT believe we are entering the 22 week of the year! Where has the time gone? Memorial Day Weekend around our house is usually a VERY relaxed time where we pretty much do just what we want. We did watch a couple NASCAR races (rain delays and all) and we were going to truly finish the last project, putting up the shade cloth for the back patio so we can no spend a little time out there with our coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, but alas the air conditioning went out on Saturday and we were just too warm and miserable to bother. Of course the air conditioning went out at 6pm on Saturday of a holiday weekend! W.O.R.S.T. case and time possible. It looks like it will be Tuesday sometime before we can even get it looked at so we’re just hanging in there hoping for cooler temperatures.
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
Already too warm for me today and with a dew point and humidity it looks like it’s going to be a VERY warm week with high humidity and we have a fairly high threat of thunderstorms EVERY day!
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
Ensure clear (berry flavored) and coffee
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I see plenty to do, but it will mostly wait until tomorrow.
WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS
- LAUNDRY… just a couple loads
- LIVING AREAS… mostly tidy, but need to do floors
- KITCHEN… quite clean, but I plan to make a mess soon. I’m such a messy cook as I invent. BUT, I also need to finish the granite countertops.
- STUDIO… I did a DEEP clean yesterday, now on to making messes as I begin some Christmas cards
- YARD… A little pruning and deadheading of some old blooms and putting up the shade cloth if the weather permits
- BLOG… some recipe updating and planing for future posts. I’m even thinking ahead to BLOGMAS 2017
CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR
We are just watching some Netflix shows and waiting for the summer season to kick in. At least America’s got talent starts tomorrow night.
Still trying to finish the Ava Miles Dare River 5 book series. I’m on book 4, The Promise of Rainbows.
CRAFTS / PROJECTS
I need to get busy deciding on bindings, but I have yet to find the box with the rest of the material yet. At least these are ready for their bindings. I’m also still looking for the box with the ones that need to be finished pieced.

I drink a cup every night before bed. I figure it can’t hurt.
HOMEMAKING/COOKING TIP
ON MY MIND
We are still in a holding pattern on being able to move forward on this. We do appreciate your continued prayers and support as we go through this mess.
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA
Whiskey our almost 15 year old lab is starting to have mobility issues, but she is still the MOST adorable pup I’ve ever had. Lately she’s been laying wherever she can to use shelves and such as resting places.
INSPIRATION

Unfortunately, I know too many of these “Negative Nellies”. Some people are just self centered enough to not play nice in this game we call life.
