LIFE Happenings Here’s my weekly posts to catch you up. Week 31 Week 32 Week 33 Week 34 Obsessed My current obsession for some reason is the story of Joe DiMeo, who fell sleep at the wheel back in 2018? and was in a horrific car accident leaving him with third degree burns on 80% of his body. A few years later he got a full face and double hand transplant. I Survived the First Face and Double Hand Transplant and Now I’ve Found Love Happy that Fall is right around the corner. My favorite time of year. Excited for…
+ Saturday we went to the lake for a few hours to meet up with some friends and they took us on a nice boat ride on Lake Martin. + We went by Pirate Island while exploring on the boat. + Their dog was fun. + Sunday I was glad that Alex and Madison came for lunch and hung out with us. + Saturday before going to the lake, my church had a Women’s Ministry Kick-off brunch, which was so lovely.
Here we are for another Watching and Listening post sharing from July & August! Jump to: Movies | TV Shows | Podcasts | Music Movies/Documentaries Back to the Future Trilogy (Netflix) American Murder: Laci Peterson (Netflix) Love, Charlie: The Rise and Fall of Chef Charlie Trotter (Netflix) Rob had a conference coming up in July that had the Back to the Future theme. And also this trilogy are 3 of Rob’s favorite movies, so decided to rewatch the Back to the Future Trilogy one weekend. American Murder: Laci Peterson was a three part docuseries about the life and death of…
Pretty chill week. Not a lot of photos to share at least… + Kayleigh just chillin’ + Rob was gone at the end of the week and so were Drew & Cailtyn, so I went over and took care of Bigsby + Airfyer veggies and pork chops for the win!!
Still playing catch up…story of my life 🙂 + Yaki bowl, which is a Mongolian grill, finally opened and it is so good! Alex, Rob, and I went the day we got back from our cruise. + Lots of veggies harvested from the garden when we got back! + And pretty flowers + Rob and I went to visit our new nephew (bottom R) and the 2nd newest nephew (bottom L).

On a recent cruise, we made a stop in Cozumel with my sister and her family. I was happy I got to use one of the new styles of Tesalate Towels they sent me. I love these towels as they are so compact and they easily go in their handy little bag. For us when we’re cruising and having a beach day, we usually have a backpack full of stuff. Not having thick, bulky towels makes packing so much easier. On the way back to the ship, you don’t have to worry about bringing a bunch of sand…and water back…

Doing a little catch up in between vacations. Here’s week 28 highlights. + Dinner with our ‘adopted’ Army son, before he heads off to his next training location. + This cute little lizard hides on the walk way and often pops out and startles me. + Celebrated Rob’s birthday with some Italian. + Happy to report Katniss was located in my neighbor’s yard. Not sure what happened, but glad she’s home…hoping she doesn’t disappear again. + Love this color of tomatoes.
The United States is a huge and diverse place with beautiful locations to visit. Whether you want time in a big city or a nature-rich vacation, you can find everything you could wish for in the U.S. I find I like vacations with a mixture of both! I can’t wait to share about my recent trip to San Francisco, where we got the big city feel, but also enjoyed some time on the California coast driving on highway 1. First, it is important to consider who you are going with. You should all have a conversation about what kind of…
Yeah, I feel like posting these weekly updates, my life is pretty boring. It is what it is though, right! + Kayleigh bringing me one of very dilapidated babies. + Next 3 pics across are from the garden. Love seeing these pops of colors. + Drew and Caitlyn came over on 4th of July for a little bit and Bigsby and Kayleigh got to play. Besides that 4th of July was pretty boring. I wasn’t feeling great so I was glad to just be home all day and not do anything. + Sadly, this is the last picture of Katniss…
Here we are for another Watching and Listening post sharing from May & June! Jump to: Movies | TV Shows | Podcasts | Music Movies Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie (Apple TV) What Jennifer Did (Netflix) The Choice (Plex) Endless Love (Netflix) If you grew up watching Family Ties or you’re a big fan of the Back to the Future movies, I highly recommend watching Still: A Michael J Fox Movie. This movie (documentary) was so well done. It was interesting to learn about Mike’s entrance into Hollywood. What Jennifer Did is a true crime movie (documentary) about the…
This year we were able to continue to tradition of Memorial Day Weekend at the lake. Here’s a few highlights and lots of pics… Rob and I got to the lake Friday and everyone else was at Niffer’s at the Lake for dinner. We had learned that Drew and Caitlyn had set up their new tent and would have room for Rob to stay in there with them. I was going be sleeping in the house this time because of my shoulder. We got all of our stuff unpacked. Mind you, I still can’t do much with my left arm,…
LIFE Happenings Here’s my weekly posts to catch you up. Week 23 Week 24 Week 25 Week 26 Loving my air fryer again. I feel like when you get small appliances like an air fryer, you go through phases of using it. It gets put away and you just kind of forget about it. I started using again for pork chops and that has just rejuvenated my love for it. Happy that I’m finally seeing some fruiting from the garden. Excited to get some stuff accomplished (haircut, eye appointment) Reminiscing about Drew’s graduation trip in 2016. Such a epic trip…
+ Pretty Zinnia and lady bug in the garden + Kayleigh wanted to go with me (always), so I let her go with me to pick up groceries + Summer in Auburn means Camp War Eagle, which is the freshman/parent camp where they learn about Auburn more and schedule their classes for fall + Beer from Alabama – really good + Got my hair cut. I had been waiting since Rob has been putting my hair up in a ponytail until about a month ago. I’m finally able to sit on the couch, prop my left elbow up, and pull…
If you missed my first Texas post, you can click here. The 2nd half of the trip was visiting with family. On Friday morning, Rob said his goodbyes to the conference people and we loaded the car. We had about an hour and half drive ahead of us. Before going all the way over to Weatherford, we stopped back in the North Richland Hills for lunch at Chan’s Mongolian Grill and then drove by my Granny’s old house and the the house I grew up in. Neither of which are part of my family anymore, but since Rob wasn’t with…
+ Our dining room table that was Rob’s gramma’s is always dressed. She always had the table pad and a table cloth on it. So it has hardly any imperfections on it. When we need to wash the table cloth, we pull the table pad off and let it ‘air out’ 🙂 + On Sunday lunch, my mother-in-law brought 2 of our nephews and a niece that she was babysitting. + Friday, Caitlyn and I did lunch at Hey Day Market. We both got tacos from Wild Child. Pretty good, but pricey!! + Eye appointments for me and Alex on…
