Almost half way through the summer. I've appreciated every minute. This back porch has seen me most mornings and evenings.
I've...
made pinterest projects
ferried Bubs to Kings Island
had my feet in the sand
played in the ocean
lunched with friends
thrifted
laid poolside and had breakfast on Yo's back porch
walked the dogs on long wondering walks
went out for lunch
put everything in my house back in it's place
played board games
stayed up late and slept in
went out on the pontoon
finished a few books
went to the movies
went to Milford's farmers market
picked blueberries
crafted with friends
took Bubs fishing at M's
the garden is in!
got into the habit of morning pages,
and generally had a wonderfully blissful time.
And now I still have some living to do...
breakfast at Plain Folks
lunch at Acapulcos
dinner at Bite
make it Loveland's farmer's market
hammock reading
roasting hotdogs and marshmallows on the fire pit
playing board games on the porch in the evenings
watching movies in the evenings
riding bikes
kayaking
swimming in the lake
tubing in the lake
deep clean the house
BASEBALL ROOM: organize papers to scrap upstairs, complete some scrap projects,
LAUNDRY ROOM: catch up on ironing, catch up on hand washing, fix things on counter in the laundry room, MASTER BED: clean the trunk downstairs and bring up to the bedroom for sweater storage,
BUB'S ROOM: help him get his act together in there with the fridge and tv,
SPARE BED: hang old hats, find a better way to store scrapbooks,
use up food stuff and restock with clean eating food
STUDIO: get some projects done, mainly get caught up scrapbooking and ordering photos, get cards stockpiled,
get Bub's started on some SAT problems
My parents are on vacay but when they get back I'm looking forward to going to the trail in Loveland with them and then hitting the farmers market afterwards. I think the dogs, my parents and I will all like this.
I'd like to take my dad to the Kentucky horse park for Father's Day. He was gone that day so all he received was a phone call. Apparently while wearing his Life is Good shirt that reads not all who wonder are lost he got lost for 4 hours on a mountain.
Sipping green tea, green smoothies...
Listening to, well, the outdoors creatures telling me good morning- hawk, crow, chirpy birds
Watching The Fighter will Mark Wahlberg. Good inspired true story.
Haven't updated my 2012 Books in awhile...
Before
That: Scenes Goshen Township, Clermont County, Ohio- Goshen Historical Society- a local book that was very informative about the area I grew up in.
The
New Crafting Heritage Albums- Braun- a friend's book that helped me bone up on my scrapbooking knowledge.
A
Couple of Kooks and other stories about Love- Rylant- stumbled on in the library at work. The first few short stories were really good then downhill. Quickly.
Blood
Song: a silent ballad- Drooker- another stumbled upon in the work library. no words and little interest. didn't stand up to the hype.
Stopping
by Woods on a Snowy Evening- Frost/Jeffers- another work book. Short, sweet illustrated poem.
The
Elegant Witch- Neill- I've been reading this since Halloween. Decent vintage book.
Wesley
the Owl- O’Brien- Loved Wesley. Informative and heart warming.
The
Seminary- Stefan- Edited for a church friend. Lots of edits. He is still talking to me though so that's good.
Fifty
Shades of Gray- James- Yep finally got it and yes it's good and worth the read.
Summer
Rental- Andrews- Our beach house read. Good beach fun read.
Finally getting around to cleaning up some thrifted items. Looked this one up and found it sells for $50
used and around $80 new.
