Hello and Happy Monday my Friends!
Happy August to you too. 🌼💛
Well another weekend breezed in and out just like that and we're back to Monday. How does that happen?
I hope you had a good one. It was a nice for one us at the lake visiting Matt's folks and getting time with them. We had a wonderful time catching up, playing games, grilling, pontooning, watching the Olympics and some movies. All the summer goodness we keep trying to pack in while we can while this summer continues to positively fly by!
In other news: my sweet Annie had been traveling with her dad and caught covid. Such a bummer because the time I get left with her before she heads to college is ticking by so quickly! But going to treasure every moment I can when she's feeling better.
Also, we had crazy winds here late last week and it blew our dock and pontoon like 150 feet left of our docking spot!! 🙈 But thankfully nothing was damaged and it was able to be all hooked back up and we're back in business now. So crazy though!
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING:
sugar free iced coffee with a little protein creamer and a little tiny piece of banana bread leftover from the weekend
ON MY TO DO LIST THIS WEEK:
some dates out with friends, errands, home projects, hospice work
THINKING ABOUT:
I can't belive it's August already! Thinking about the things Annie and I talked about fitting in before she heads on her way down to FL 💗 We'll get in every bit we can :)
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
It's dark because it's been cloudy all day. It hasn't rained but it's nice and cool and in the 60's. I have the windows open letting in fresh air and I can hear birds outside a window close to me. It has a little Fall undertone in the air and that's probably why I'm having all these late summer thoughts. My Dad and step Mom just stopped by to bring us more jam my step Mom made and we got to a visit a while. Made some late summer plans with them for a gathering here later in the month. 😊

FROM THE CAMERA:
The top pic is what happened to our dock and pontoon after the crazy winds blew it away - and bottom shows it all fixed now. So grateful nothing was damaged! 🙏🏻
more decorations for our day that's right around the corner!
when the summer peaches are so good you can't let them go to waste and cut them up and freezed them 😋
our little garden and pots got going late this year - but starting to get some bounty from them :)
lake time is always dreamy 💙
