- the never-ending grace of the good Lord
- my delightful family and friends
- my health, and the health of my loved ones
- Uncle Robert working hard to make a recovery from pneumonia
- a weekend of epic proportions to look forward to :)
- a very productive week..in fact, I've gotten more accomplished this week than I have over my entire break so far...I'm a bit embarrassed by the scope of my laziness
- the dark clouds that just rolled in...we've had weeks of no rain and unrelenting sunshine, so I'm hoping a few drops will fall
- a lovely new shower curtain that makes me smile
- finally, FINALLY finding a recycling bin to unload the trunk full of plastic bottles I've been riding around since school got out
- Neeley getting settled in her new Dallas home...can't wait to schedule a visit!
- a successful internship for Daniel, so far
- money to pay my bills, make my car payment, and (sometimes) a bit left over for some fun
- air conditioning and clean, running water whenever I want it
- shoes on my feet, clothes to wear, a roof over my head, food in my belly, and a car that runs...I'm indescribably blessed
- the good days my mama has been enjoying...such a blessing!
- my first ever batch of from-scratch pizza sauce turning out to be, well...edible! It was so easy; I'll share next week.
- Ashley making a big decision that I think will really pay off for her...steppin' out on faith!
- the world's tastiest peaches (Chilton County, of course) that I bought at the farmers market this week
HAPPY WEEKEND, yall!
Anything fun on your horizon?
Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour shower curtain is lovely. I like the color. And I have to agree with you that you are very blessed.
Summer peaches..how I love them! And, could you send some of those dark clouds over here? We are in a terrible drought.
Hugs

Annesta, thanks! I've debated for several days about whether I really NEEDED a new shower curtain, and you can tell what I decided :) The pretty little border is my favorite part. We ended up getting a storm. It was so windy...tons of limbs down, but the ground was just barely damp. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, friend, and thanks for visiting!

*love the shower curtain, pretty colors
ReplyDelete*did you know Target has a recycling area at the front of the store? They take plastic bottles but probably couldn't hold a trunk full ;)
*did I miss you posting the recipe for the spaghetti sauce? Would love to check it out
Kristi, thanks for your sweet comment! I'm still really excited about my shower curtain. Doesn't take much to make me happy :) I got it on sale at World Market. I actually was able to fit a bag of bottles in the bin at Target, but they weren't equipped to handle a trunk full :) I haven't posted the spaghetti sauce recipe yet...kinda forgot about it. I'll get that up in the next day or so!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch for stopping by!
