Hello dear Friends 💛
How are things going in your world? I hope this Monday is starting off your week in happy and wonderful ways.
It's a rainy gray one here in the northwoods. But I love how it just makes it feel cozy (& it gives the garden and flowers a good drink)
We got back from the lake last night. We went to celebrate belated Father's Day with Matt's Dad. The weather was a little cooler - so no pontoon rides this time. But we hung out, watched movies, ate goodies, played cards, and went out to dinner with some close family friends of theirs. It was a restful and fun weekend.
Then we got home last night and loved on Bubba, who always misses us, and watched some volleyball. My Bestie Mrs. C sent me the link to watch her daughter's vball match live online. They are down at national championships in FL and so far her daughter's team (Mr. C coaches) is doing amazing! They won all of their matches yesterday! And after this tourney their life will slow down a bit more and we look forward to some fun catch up time with them and hanging out.
I just talked to my Mom and she found out she has shingles right now. Ugh! That poor wonderful Lady can't get a break. She had that fall that she is still healing from and in a big brace for months and now has to deal with this too. Please send some prayers and good vibes her way if you get a moment. 🙏🏻💗

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
I always have hand sanitizer in my purse and in my car. Anytime I go out to the store and get back in the car I use it. And if we go out to eat and get done ordering and hand back the menus we sanitize our hands.
FROM THE CAMERA:
happy snuggly Bubba - glad we are back home
a favorite corner to sit and read, look at the bay, and my peonies :)
I didn't get many pics at the lake but looking out the window you could see it was gray, rainy & cooler. Also I made healthy date bites as Matt's folks are trying to lose weight. They loved them as a healthier treat.
I love this shot as I had transplanted these peonies from my former MIL's garden. She was one of my best friends in the world and I think that beam is her smiling down. They sure are thriving :)
