Wrapping Up August













My amazing sister~in~law Beth surprised me with an early birthday present, and it is clear she knows me well. I met Beth when I was 17, and now I am almost 50! I am blessed to have her in my life.

We took our beautiful friend, Blueberry Mary to visit my dear Mom and showed Mary the puzzle print she gifted my Mom when she moved into her new place. We had a wonderful visit and then went to dinner with Margie and Chris. It was a wonderful night!

It has become our Saturday night tradition to eat out after Mass, and often it is at the neatest diner where Flynn loves the chocolate shakes. And I love that she loves them so. I get the exact same thing each time too. Grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and cottage cheese. 

I'm throwing in a precious puppy picture to finish up, because who doesn't love a cute puppy? Have a wonderful weekend, my friends. We are winding down summer here. I am planning on cleaning the deck and replacing the tired flowers and plants with a few colorful mums, making a list and heading to the grocery store, finishing up lesson plans, and decorating for fall! I am quite proud of myself this year. I waited until September to bring out the fall!

Happy Labor Day!
Thanks for visiting!
