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

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!

Hello Everyone, and hello hot, hot, hot August!
I had a great week . Uneventful, but happy. How 'bout you?
Official Silly Walking Zone sign made me laugh.
Without a doubt the coolest, largest burro's tail I've ever laid eyes on! Look at the chain holding it up!

Hi friends -
I scored a very cool, very heavy burro planter at a nursery going out of business this week. I love him. I named him "Junior." No reason, just looked like a Junior. Ha!
I also built a rectangle collage on the ceiling in the kitchen around the light source. Paper came from a giant blow out sale World Market had a long while back. I love the colors. They make me happy.
Look at this beautiful explosion of orange going on in one of my flower gardens. Not even sure what the name of this particular flower is. Need to find out!

I came across these cool doors on a walk. Color + design = pieces of art. Check out the red door's pull handle !

Howdy !
Hope your week was good and some giant laughter found you ! Laughter good!
Random laughter definitely found me this week and it makes me happy.
Hat tip to College Street Pub in Waxahachie for their creative sidewalk decorating. Inside is decorated wonderfully British Pub style and the food is fabulous. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is my favorite.
17 M.P.H. ... hmmm ... that's a first for me.

Hello everyone !
I hope this week was kind and productive for you !
Raise your hand if you're ready for the weekend - ha!
My niece, Jayde, and her husband, Chris, hosted a giant party for my mom's birthday. It was magic. Chris is a master on the Weber. Hello, we're a lucky family !
Chris smoked Tenderloin and lobster tails. That's Curtis and Jared (brother-in-law and nephew) assisting Chris serving the tenderloin as they went around the table. There are no words, other than one ... O*U*T*S*T*A*N*D*I*N*G.
Is this not the coolest display of air plants EVER ?! This is totally going on my "gotta have it - gotta make it" list.

Hey, hi -
I hope your week has been great and are now looking forward to the weekend!
Check out the cool planter ideas. I went to Balboa Island to visit family and snapped the pics while walking around looking at the very artsy community. So much fun.
I love the whiskey barrel creativity. Looks so natural and bold all at the same time. I'm going to definitely do at least one.
