Mini Bookstore

 Some weeks are filled with work and repairs and clean-up afterwards.  I had three service visits last week - for cable, landscaper, and a water heater leak, all of which were taken care of.  I pretty much know all the workers in the area now, and they know me, so they always do their best to get the job done without too much hassle.  I usually go into town about every three days just to see what's NEW.  There are already Fall displays out, and I found this cute floral cup with decorative acorns.

A slow cooked seasoned chicken with white rice, using the olive oil Nel brought back from Greece.

Nothing like a ham and pepper jack cheese sandwich on nine grain bread.

Nel made a mini bookstore that I thought was so cute.  She had fun putting it together.

My mom and dad's anniv. and my mother-in-law's anniv. were in August.  Jess and Brian's anniversary is this week - it will be 10 years!

 My August calendar page says Pure Peace.

  My blog friend sent this to me, and I thought it was nice to share with you.

I've always loved the story of David - who had great courage and a deep faith - as he went from a humble shepherd boy to a brave warrior and the anointed King of Israel.  I watched the animated movie, David, on Netflix and loved it.

Nel and Jess sent their brother these cards with very special written words inside when he received his degree.

And here they are with their brother many moons ago.

Jess came across this on one of their outings, and Charlotte had the best time exploring.

Enjoy the rest of these warm summer days.  Fall will be here before we know it. 😉
