Weekend

 What an awesome week we've just had!

Lots of cousin play time, swimming, eating, hanging out. We had a men's dinner for Kyle (he'll be 21 on August 3rd) while his out of state brother in laws were in town, and happily, my brother and sister in law are visiting as well, so my brother got to be at the dinner too! 

We did a trip on Friday to Lake Tobias to do the safari. It was so great!

On Saturday, we had Rachel's baby shower at a local-ish coffee shop.

A longtime friend has her own cookie business and she made the most darling cookies for favors. They are so cute you hate to eat them! Another friend made candles. So talented!

It was so special to spend time with all the wonderful ladies who attended, and we cannot wait for this darling to arrive!

After the shower we went to Fuddrucker's for dinner to celebrate my parents 67th wedding anniversary.

That was special, too! It was the first time in years that all my kids were together! As a mom I love to watch my adult kids interact and have such fun! My brother loved getting to see them all, too! It had been years since they'd seen all of them!

My Tennessee family headed home yesterday, and my brother and sister in law leave tomorrow.

It has been so heart filling, and I am so grateful to God for it all.

Weekend

We worked on the office on Saturday.

We had a lovely thunderstorm and we were happy for the rain and to have stuff to do indoors!

Here are a few sneak peeks of our bedroom. We still need lamps, a rug,  two comfy chairs, and we’d like an electric fireplace for coziness!

Here is a sneak peek of the office! It would make a perfect snug, but we don’t need that.

We’ve had the guest room set up but I’ve been upping to coziness factor. The gingham sheets and new lampshades add the perfect touch! Just in time for my brother and sister in laws’ visit this week!

I hope you all had a great weekend. 
 

Information Friday

 

Our Guest Room is ready for my brother and his wife who are coming this coming week. Then in August my dear friend Jane is coming!

Our Tennessee daughter and her family will be here this week, too, but are staying at Wes and Rachel's house. So excited!

This is going to be a long post, mostly about the interference by China in our elections.

This post by Monica Crowley really got my attention. She is Trump's Protocol Ambassador. 

Strap in! Love it!

The mainstream media is trying to make is sound as if this is nothing important. The same information that China has gathered on 220 million American Citizens, states won't give to the Federal Government saying it's private. So it can't be nothing, and so important to protect the privacy of citizens. I'm for that! However, with this information China has worked online to divide Americans, to try to get people to hate DJT. How do we know where our feelings about different issues come from? Were we influenced?

It's important that this isn't swept under the rug. The MSM wants to do that because they've been complicit. 

This is an important exchange between former Attorney General John Ashcroft and Adam Schiff.

The left want people to believe that Trump is just doing these things as a personal vendetta. He's not! He's saving our country!

He's also working on dealing with the ICC which is the International Criminal Court. I think we don't play this game, but this court likely will try to go after Trump once he's out of office. It's insanity!

Buckle Up, friends! This is the start of revealing truth and also setting the USA on the path the founder's wanted for us to walk. No more globalism.

Weekend - Primary Suite Edition

 We finally were able to work on our bedroom this weekend! Paint and wallpaper. I have to say that this is high quality wallpaper, and as such it was expensive. The guy at the store, however did the math wrong and wanted us to buy one double roll. We decided to get two because my husband was uncertain, and turns out even with two double rolls we barely had enough. The guys, Tim and our son in law Wes, had to piece a bit at the end but it worked out since it is a plaid. 

All that to say, I don't know when we'd do wallpaper again! Though I do love the look of it!

I'm going to share some photos, but know that the light was not good. I'll get better photos when the room is put together.

You can't tell from this photo but the wallpaper background is burgundy.

We've done just the one wall where our bed is. I have a print of a Scottish Loch to go on the wall over the bed.

I'm looking for bedside tables, and possibly lamps or wall sconces. 

We used to have a sitting room area in this room and we'd like to do that again, so I am looking for an electric fireplace, and a couple of comfy chairs.
