Saturday already !!!
Buttermilk biscuits are in the oven for breakfast. I plan on making a batch of red pepper jelly sometime today and also finish sewing detail on 18 aprons for our church community kitchen.
the sunflowers are in bloom , this one is from my garden
We are also winding down on our summer music festival. This year they had a display called the Museum of the Moon. The moon has actual pictures taken by Nassau of its surface.
It is traveling all over thee place so you can look up here https://my-moon.org/ to see if it will be displayed near you.
Hope you all have a great weekend !!
Have fun sewing today!!! I have tried so many times to make buttermilk biscuits... do you have a good recipe? Or what is your secret lol!? Beautiful pictures! When I was a kid we used to grow giant sunflowers and then dry and eat the seeds, brings back good memories! That moon thing is too cool.
So far it has been a pretty good weekend! On Friday I took Gandalf for a walk with one of my good friends and her dog Percy, they had a blast! Gandalf has to go to the vet on Monday though for a reoccurring issue (he has been such a sick pup his entire life), hoping we don't get any more bad news... After that I went with my mom to the local running shop and picked up some new shoes and ran 7 miles in them this morning. They feel soooo much better than my old running shoes! No more blisters and knee pain yay! Hubby and I got a lot of work done around the house and yard this morning since my grandma is coming in this weekend. Feels so good to get all your work done early on in the day and then just relax....... Think I will eat a big bear claw topped with powdered sugar tonight for dessert!

Thanks everyone!
We made a lot of progress at my daughters apartment today. I’m heading back over there tomorrow to help out some more. I’m hoping they will be completely settled in very soon.
My father was discharged from the hospital today, he’s so happy to be home. He was having issues with his blood thinner and the diuretic. The doctors decided to adjust the dosages, it seems to be helping for the time being. I’m going to visit him tomorrow morning before I go over to my daughters apartment
I hope everyone has a nice night!
xx
So glad your father was released from the hospital! Praying the dosage adjustments will keep working for him. Sending you love and hugs. xx

Good Saturday morning! The humidity is backI'll be working all weekend and I'm counting down the days till my vacation starting on the 1st of September. I can feel that I'm not as productive because I'm so tired. Hope everyone will have a great weekend ahead!
Hope the humidity isn't as bad or last as long as the last time! Praying you are able to relax and get some sleep soon! Take care, Martine. xx

Glad to hear your dad is doing better!!!
Morning all and a happy Sunday! Plans for the day include drinking coffee. That's basically far as I've got. We'll probably take Jonah to an indoor play park for a while as it's a wet one. Have a fun and relaxing day everyone.
Happy Sunday! We have another beautiful day predicted here. Low 80s and sunshine. These last 4 days have been the nicest 4 days in a row we've had since spring. Unfortunately, hot and humid weather is coming for Monday-Wednesday. I hope you all enjoy a relaxing Sunday!
buttermilk biscuits
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup buttermilk (appox)
mix first 4 ingrediants
cut in butter until no big pieces are left
add buttermilk a little at a time until it forms a soft dough
turn out on counter and knead only until is holds together
(over kneading makes biscuits tough instead of light)
flatten with hand and fold in half, repeat 5 times
flatten to about 1/2 inch and cut out biscuits
bake at 400' for 12 to 15 min or until just turning light brown on top
Merry Sunday MMC ~
It’s going to be a beautiful day with a high of 80 degrees. I don’t have too much planned for today which is fine with me. I’m pretty exhausted from this past week, it was a busy one. I’ll just be working on the laundry and we’ll probably hang out by the pool this afternoon.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Folks!
With yet another Milestone in the rear-view mirror, we look ahead to the start of the 'bers. And the first one of those will see the launch of Christmas Blossoms 2018, which always signals that the holiday season is right on our threshold.
With that lead-in, let's inspect today's numbers:
Days to the Season: 79
Days to Christmas Day: 121
Of course, every time a Milestone marker appears in our rear-view mirror, another one pops up in the windshield.
<< Which one, Crown? >>
Are you ready little voice, because the next one is BIG and it's only 3 weeks away.
Folks, we are talking about the 100-day Christmas Day Window, after which BOTH of our counts will be in double-digits.
Wowee!
Still the pleasant weather, with no rain.
Another dry day today, but the temperatures will slowly climb into the upper 80's.
For now, we are quite comfortable at 65 degrees to start the second half of our weekend.
Have a Super Sunday, Guys!
