Where Did July Go?

The last weekend of July is just about over. Man, where has the time gone? It seems like I waited and waited for July to get here and to go on my first vacation since 2019 and then....blink....it's over and gone. 

The weekend began with our daughter's 33rd birthday on Friday. I had to care for my blind client after work so we did not celebrate then. She had a nice evening with her family and some friends, so it was all good. 

On Saturday my mom asked me to go to a used book sale with her. I didn't really want to, but I hadn't done anything with her for a while so I agreed. The sale was buy one bag of books for $5 and get a second bag free. I so did not need that many more books right now, but brought them home, anyway. At least a good portion of them are children's books chosen for our grandchildren. They also sell vintage jewelry at the book sale and I bought 3 pairs of earrings for $2. We stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel on the way home.

Saturday evening we took our daughter and her family out for dinner to celebrate her birthday. They took us to a restaurant we had never been to before, Moreland's at Waterworks. It was such a lovely setting and a very happening place to be. The food was very yummy, too. Tim and I had the steak and lobster pot, our daughter had barbecue ribs and chicken, our son-in-law had stuffed flounder, and the kids had spaghetti and chicken tenders. Oh, and we ordered our daughter a piece of strawberry pretzel salad cheesecake with a candle so we could sing to her. None of us was hungry, but we all had a taste (it was a HUGE slice) and oh my, was it good!

Today Tim worked on pouring the layers of epoxy on the shower floor (we covered the old crumbling one with little pebbles and are pouring the epoxy over it). I picked up a grocery order very early at Walmart and got that unloaded and put away. The grands spent the afternoon with us so our daughter and s-i-l could spend some time alone. They played and we watched several episodes of The Librarians. I also managed to get several loads of laundry done and fill three bags with clothes to donate to Goodwill. It wasn't all I'd hoped to get done today, but we never say no to time with the grandchildren!

It's back to work tomorrow. Most of the week is going to be crazy hot and humid. My leg is a little better, but the muscles (tendons?) around the knee are still a problem. We'll see how it feels after I'm back to work again. 

Tuesday is our granddaughter's birthday. No huge party this year, just the families getting together for cake and ice cream.

Stay cool if you can and have a wonderful week!
