I haven't done a 'just because' post in a while, so I thought it was time. They are similar to 'this and that' posts, which show the simple happenings of the week.
My son made some croissants, and I think it's safe to say that he has mastered this recipe. It was his best batch yet. I drizzled a little butter and blackberry jam on them. Were they ever so good.
He also made a French stew. It had such a unique taste, and the beef was tender. I liked it so much that I had seconds, and some more the next day!
It's still a little early for Fall, but I couldn't resist picking this up when I saw it at the grocery store.
My best friend called last week, and we talked for an hour! It was good catching up with her. She sees everyone more regularly than I do, as she lives close to my hometown.
Check out the cake Nel made for Mia. It's a 'Lilo and Stitch' theme. I think it's her most creative one yet. I love all the colors swirling in the cake.
My neighbor's roses are blooming like crazy. They repotted them in an iron pot, so he thinks that's why they are doing so well. She always has delightful things on her front porch.
I met my brother-in-law at the Chinese Restaurant last week. I ordered the deluxe lunch special, which included sweet and sour pork, chow mein, egg roll, and shrimp and cream cheese wonton. A coke is a must when I order Chinese food. It was delicious. 🍚🍤 I enjoyed catching up with my brother-in-law. I was cracking up at his face expressions when he was telling stories of the squirrels' antics around his house, and the amusing behavior of the raccoons when he traveled up north. I do not like the squirrel, but I got some pics of one carrying on as he was sitting on the big pile of logs that my neighbor will use this winter for firewood. For my squirrel-loving blog friends.
Hope the week is kind to you.

No squirrels visit my yard or neighborhood. Maybe too many dogs? Once we did and Laydee just wouldn’t settle down. I thought, “great, this is going to be a problem” but after chasing it a few times, it moved on.
The stew and croissants sound good. Your son is a good cook. 👨🍳
That red cottage - oh my how I would love to live there. How cute is that?
Well my dear, our favorite season will soon be here and I can’t wait. While the temperatures are still hot, when they fluctuate back and forth, that’s a sign of a change; granted not big enough to usher in Autumn but 🍂 Just enough of a sign to reassure us that it’s coming.
I hope you have a meaningful week. God bless.
Are you in the Fall Feels too?! It was cooler here about two weeks ago and now I long for the cooler Fall weather. I thought hard about making a pot of Chili the other day, but I'll wait to it gets cooler. I hope you're doing well Sheri and enjoying these end of Summer days my friend!
Your squirel friend is so cute.
We went to stay at my childhood home this summer (it's a vacation rental these days) in the far, far north in Michigan. Guess what they have in Michigan? Jet black squirrels. I didn't remember them from growing up there and was shocked to see them. I had no idea they came in that color.
All this food is making me hungry
You have been busy with wonderful days! The stew looks so yummy. We have not had many hummingbird visitors this summer - I am not sure why...but I miss them.
Yes, I do enjoy squirrel watching. Your family are all amazing cooks. And that cake...wow, it is so stunning! How on earth did you get such a good pick of the hummingbird? They are always moving so fast! And I love the gorgeous photo of the ladybug on the yellow rose.
