So Blessed To Be An American

Around my house in July there are all kinds of pretty little nudges…

to help us remember…

how blessed we are…

to live in this beautiful country that we love so dearly…

and truly be part…

of an American heritage…

of bravery…

of integrity…

independence and freedom.

With all of these blessings, we have a great responsibility which we take very seriously–not just in July…but always.

“America is great because she is good; if she ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great,”

~Alexis de Tocqueville~

Happy 250th Birthday America!!

Things I’m Loving…

right this minute…

Getting Tarmac the House Squirrel’s clothes cleaned and pressed for July.

Finding my long, lost spool of twine that I bought ages ago, to fix the cat tree and then promptly…lost.

A lunch-lady Peanut Butter Bar and a Snickerdoodle from Lyndi’s Sunday Cookie Walk. Yum!!

Getting a billion Fetch points from one shopping trip.

Making Cheesy Egg Bake for breakfast and wrapping the rest to freeze and have later. Yum again.

Watching a master quilter at work. April fascinates me.

Cinnamon rolls…any day…any time…any way. Yum for the third time. This is apparently a food post. Yikes.

Finally finding dye free sprinkles for the 4th of July!! I’ve been searching for a million years!

A truely gorgeous night sky captured in all it’s awesomeness by Jillian. So beautiful.

What about you? What are you loving right this minute?

Happy Father’s Day

Our father never told us how to live...

but rather…

he lived…

and let us watch him do it.”

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy.

I love you.

Things I’m Loving…

…right this minute.

Grapefruit flavored…anything. I LOVE grapefruit!!!

This little kitty who just sits and watches me work at my computer…sweet little thing.

The beautiful flags that were giving out freely at the Summerfest parade.

Ridiculous stickers that honestly belong on my water bottle.

Super lame earrings that can easily and quickly be turned into a perfect, patriotic necklace. So there.

Finding a hidden note in my sewing bag from a sneaky, adorable granddaugher.

Watching Project Hail Mary for the 2nd time and crying even harder than the first time. Oh, my gosh–I love this movie!

Finding mountains of yarn –one of my favorite things to sort.

Finding an actual shoebox full of embroidery floss–another one of my favorite things to sort. More on that later.

Having a no-time-frame crochet project in my To-Go bag, at all times.

What about you? What are you loving right this minute?

Things I’m Loving…

right this minute.

When my windows look just like this.

Having hot dogs and “hobo buns” for lunch.

A very polite kitty that asks kindly–with his dirty little paw–if I will please pet him.

Prettying up the porch with pink flowers.

French onion dip and stick pretzels.

Getting this hard but really beautiful puzzle done ahead of schedule.

Switching my house lights from pink to red, white and blue…with my PHONE! Eeeek!! Hee, hee!

 

Having all my oils right where I want them, labled and in alphabetical order too.

A little kitty that doesn’t ask for anything…except to be close.

 

Anytime the street looks just like this.
