Happy Friday, my friends! This was my first stop this morning, just after I started my coffee. Some people have laundry days. I do laundry every day. It's something about trying to keep up, although I know intellectually I will never be caught up, but a girl's gotta try, right? My lunches this week were all the same. The only thing that switched out was the fruit on the side. On this day, it was freshly picked blackberries!
Dinner one night this week was a staple around here. Sometimes the meal plan goes off the rails, but I still want to have something that resembles a meal. I always have these Organic Chicken Tenders on hand. They are delicious and easy to heat and serve. I had some fresh zucchini, and I made the easiest and best homemade macaroni and cheese. Here is the RECIPE for that.

I am happy to report the pups are feeling better, and that this little lady celebrated her tenth birthday this week!!! We celebrated by sitting on the porch and watching the birds. Flynn had a fun night with Madison and Nicolas at their house one night, so Steve and I went on a Chick-fil-A takeout date night! We went to the inlet to watch the boats come in. We didn't see many, but it was beautiful nonetheless. Then we went to the condo and sat on the beach until it was too dark to read.
It was a nice night out on the town for these old folks! It has been so humid and muggy here, but I'm starting to think about the cool, spooky time of year that is just around the corner! Someone asked me once where my love of fall, Halloween, and the spooky came from. I am not sure, but it may have had something to do with this.
Not really. Ok, maybe. Probably.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

Oh! One more thing! If you know me, you know what next week is!!! Yep! It is Shark Week! Shark Week begins Sunday on the Discovery Channel. I started watching it years ago when the kids were younger, and Steve was working late. I would get the kids bathed and in pajamas, and we would watch and have some fun little shark treats. Watching Shark Week is a fun summer tradition that we still enjoy today.

Ok! I'm done now!
I am not familiar with shark week but it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your laundry room! I don't do laundry every day as it's just the two of us, but I do it probably 3x a week so it's not a huge job!
ReplyDeleteI love you, but we can't be thinking about Fall yet! :) It's ok, but I hate to see it come because after Fall comes the white stuff!
I love how much you love Fall! I'd be excited for the weather but not for school and all that to really get started yet thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love how you captured this single bird soaring above the sea. Do NOT tempt me to decorate for fall now! I actually have to start almost a month ahead, because I am not able to do very much at once. Your date sounds lovely. I have these chicken tenders, but not the gluten free organic Now I am going to try them, they look so good!
ReplyDeleteThat macaroni and cheese looks SO good! Now I am hungry for it! lol Maybe I should make some of my own. I love it that you and Steve had a nice evening out together. And what's not to love about Chick-fil-A... especially when it's takeout and you can have the scenery of your choice. Happy weekend, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteI do laundry on sunny days. :). Don't have a clothes dryer so need the sun. :). Your photos are gorgeous as always.
