Hello . . . How is your Saturday going? I am writing a bit late today . . . Normally I get my post up early but today I had to finish mowing the front yard. Now I have had a bit to eat and cleaned the kitchen and now it's time to share.
I'll be joining Sandra again for her weekly gathering.
The weather
Hot..we got some relief last Wednesday from a few showers on Tuesday night . . . this week 100' expected though Wed and then upper 70's in the mornings and upper 90's thru next Sunday. It will feel like a cool front with lots of Sunshine . . .
On the breakfast plate
At bit of Brunch after getting up early to mow. I scrambled a couple eggs and cut hunk of a piece of nice leftover grilled steak.
On my reading pile
A summer read? I have time it's on tour in October.A Sweet Thing
The Cowboy went to the store the other day with a 'List'. I did not realize I was out of D.P.(which translates to pick up Dr. K. the store brand) so called and he said he had just left the store. My sad response was 'O.K.' A bit later he walked in with Dr. Pepper. He had stopped at Dollar General on the way home.
Something fun to share

My 'Duh' 'Wow' moment of the week
I am in some fun Face Book groups. One group had a Secret Santa this month. Each person listed 5 things that the wished for...related to crafting mostly Junk Journals. My partner wished for what to me was obscure items that I had never seen in the stores that I normally shop (Hobby Lobby, Tues. Morning, Michaels) I was stressing and worrying about what I could get her and considered a H.L. gift card. We had a $15.00 limit which included postage. Last night it dawned on my I had a $30.00 gift card at Amazon...Guess what my Secret Santa got? Exactly what she asked for and I still have a few bucks left to spend on myself.
Duh
In the craft basket
Two fold tag and book marks I made for a SWAP
Something sweet to share
In another group we do a monthly "Wish" I wished for pink things
paper,crafting supplies etc. to put in a 1/2 Birthday box for my
Grand Daughter in Missouri. I was so surprised how many people sent fun things....I know she will love this . . .
What little girl wouldn't love a Girly Pink Frame that she can put a photo of her horse in!
