Hello happy people!

Pulse check for your week – how was it?  It was good for me.  My neighbor brought over smoked meatloaf.  Oh, YES!  It’s absolutely my favorite and they know it.  Thank you, Trent and Susan!

Still harvesting a few fresh tomatoes – I know it’s going to come to a halt very, very soon so I am relishing every beautiful offering the plant continues to share.

Peach pie happened this week – a friend brought over fresh peaches he ordered outta the Carolinas.  Peaches are without a doubt my very, very  favorite fruit.  The pie lasted about 2 days.  Breakfast, lunch and midnight snack attack action!  Check out the recipe for this unbelievable peach pie from a recipe card I have dated 1989.  Ha

WEDNESDAY READER | September 7

Greetings Wednesday Readers!

I had super busy days on Monday and Tuesday cleaning and purging clothes in closets and drawers, readying them to take to The Salvation Army for their second time around. 

Feels good to de-clutter things around the house or property that no longer serve a purpose to me.

Here’s today’s Reader.  Enjoy!

And as always, so grateful you’re here.  Have a great day.

TOP OF THE MORNING | August 22

Greetings Readers and happy Monday!  I had a great walk down memory lane this weekend talking with one of my sisters.
Summertime = Fair + Rodeos + the Circus.  When we were kids that is.  Going to the Circus was always a larger than life experience.  Under the big Top.
I collected the following 12 for our entertainment this week.  Click and Enjoy.

Hello everyone !

Another really good week for me.  Hung out on the deck at a very cool, creative local pub/restaurant with a couple friends.  Fans and misters were strategically placed  around the deck so it was not hot uncomfortable at all.

Yin + Yang cats call this deck home!

House made Parm Chips with dill ranch dip.  Addictive!

Hello high in the sky upscale bird house, how beautiful you are.

Tuna Salad happened this week!  Crackers, croissant, toasted english muffin and by the spoonful.  I. Love. Tuna. Salad.  (with dill pickle relish)

Dragon Slayer sandwich is a people pleaser!

5 for Friday playlist is a good chill time.  Give it a listen.

Thanks so much for being here.  I am grateful for your time.
