Hello Friends 🌞
Happy new week to you! It was kind of a crazy weekend here. Concerning because my Mom had a heart event and had to be admitted to get an angiogram. Still waiting to see what the results will show and go from there. The good thing is she's doing very well, feels much better now being on a blood thinner drip, and feels very positive overall. All prayers welcomed of course!
But until that worry we had a fun weekend too. Annie and Matt & I went mini golfing one night and then out for dinner. And then later our friends the C's came over to hang out and have a fire on the deck and have treats and lots of catch up time. Their daughter had been away for the summer on an internship and she was home so we got to see their whole family (plus their daughter's boyfriend). And with my Aaron being home too, it was such a nice overall reunion. 💕
Then the next day an Uncle & Aunt of mine came over to hang out and meet Matt. I had promised them a pontoon ride this summer and even though it felt more Fall like in weather - we all went out for awhile (my kiddos too). We just wore sweatshirts and I brought blankets for all of us. We are people of the north and used to the weather. Lol We had snacks and just trolled in and out of the bays so it was more sheltered and warmer. Then came back and played games that had us in stitches laughing! If you've never played the game Telestrations - you need to!! PS: I made the yummiest bars from a recipe on TikTok of all places. I'll share it this week!
So now I'm just praying everything is really minor with my Mom 🙏

I needed to pick up my daughter from her final "on the road" drivers training - she passed everything and will probably have her license before the week is over! (where does the time go??) But she wanted a breakfast bagel from our local bagel place - so I had that and a coffee with vanilla almond milk foam.

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
FROM THE CAMERA:
The furry babies in my life. Bubba and Ruby. Bubba is Matt's cat. He had a dog he loved that he let his ex wife keep. He wanted to adopt another dog but when he went to the shelter he realized it was selfish of him because he was working so much. But this cat wouldn't stop loving on him while he was there. He left the shelter - got down the road and then decided to turn around and go back and get Bubba. He never had a cat in his life so he needed help getting all the things for a cat. Lol He's had Bubba ever since. 🐱 💗
PRAYER LIST:
For my Mom to go through her procedure great and heal well, and have nothing major wrong with her heart. For peace and healing in our world. 🙏
