Hello Friends!
I began this post several times yesterday and kept getting sidetracked by things. I'm finally getting it done today. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a pretty quiet one here. Annie had a buddy sleep over - she was in the hockey tourney with her the weekend before. We finally got the pool up and running - so that has started to get some good use. I did some cleaning and yard work too... but otherwise it was pretty quiet.
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING
leftover muffin, coffee
HOW I AM FEELING THIS MORNING:
Feeling sleepy as it's a gray day and has been raining
ON MY MIND:
Thinking about doing my usual Christmas in July day at some point this week. Annie is getting more into teenager mode and not as excited about it all as she once was. Lol And since distancing from my Mom again, I think it would be ok if she were to come and bake cookies with us if later in the week. Need to talk to her and work out the details. Even if we did a much more minor version I hope we still fit it in! 🎄 I have done some Xmas shopping in July already! QVC had some great Christmas in July deals recently and I had some fun. 😉 Also, thinking about my guy who will be home from his travels for work today. Working out his next visit during his next couple of weeks off.
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I still need to load dishes from last nights dinner. Sleepy kind of day as still cloudy and gray and no sunshine streaming in.

just all of the usuals
CURRENTLY READING

FROM THE CAMERA:
I always begin the day with devotional time and making up the bed. Yay for light summer bedding ☀️
pool in the filling stage
sleepovers are more fun with pool time 🏊♂️
The sounds of summer -pool pump running
summer is my happy place
Love the FB memory I had today - and that my Dad & step Mom still love to berry pick. They brought us a fresh strawberry pie recently from berries they had picked. One of the best pies I've ever had - so good!! 😋
PRAYER LIST:
For our world and all of it's continued turmoil and pain. For a covid vaccine. And all of those fighting on the front lines of this pandemic. For those sick, suffering, isolated and alone. For peace and healing and unity. For the safety and health of my family and friends, especially those doing sporting events right now. For Scott continuing his work in law enforcement and as a first responder 🙏
