I've been doing little cross stitch projects here and there. I really need to start thinking about the holidays and what I might want to stitch up.
In the meantime, this was a saying contributed by a sweet lady who works in the cafeteria at the hospital. Grammar aside, its a reminder to me to be authentic, whether I think someone will approve or not.
OMG.
Can my baby actually be a senior in high school? I anticipate needing a box or two of Kleenex this year. So many "lasts" to come, so many "firsts" to look forward to.
Last month I took the three frames down from my Wall of Seniors, found another frame just like them (except it was white), gave them all a fresh coat of paint so they would match, and added in Bubbie's portrait.
Seventeen forever, all four of them together.
In a frenzy, I whipped up several jars of marinara and homemade enchilada sauce recently. Last night I simmered some of the enchilada sauce with chicken breasts and served them with rice, and zucchini. So good and no oven required.
I found a pretty Pier One plate while out thrifting that already had a hanger attached. I had just read a post form this blogger
showing different plate collage walls. I love the idea but I don't
have near enough of them to do a big enough display yet. And I don't
want to buy just any old plates to hang unless I love them. But this
one is sweet!
I added it to the wall behind my washer and dryer. Someday I will find enough beautiful ones to make a bigger display, maybe in the dining room. I love the wooden heart bowl, and the other two that are from my mother's travels to China and Portugal.
I finished my first book purchased on the Nook. It was a meh book, but it was fun using the Nook to read. So, I bought Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and am alternating that with one of my paperbacks from a growing collection that I've been adding to from the thrift stores. As the summer continues and the days seem to get hotter, reading in my air-conditioned bedroom is becoming more and more my go-to leisure activity!
Happy Weekend!
