Weekend

 

I hope you had a great weekend. I had a good one. Not busy, I mostly puttered around on Saturday. I put a roast into the crock pot with beef broth and small potatoes and carrots. I added salt, pepper, garlic powder and a packet of onion soup mix. It cooked all day and made the best dinner!

I also reorganized some things in the kitchen. I'm always a fan of making our work spaces function the best they can for how we live now.

Our kitchen is very white, and I use color as an accent. Here are a few photos from the summer.

Of course, the flags are gone now and I have repotted both plants which have grown a lot this year. I may buy new curtains to put in here for the autumn season, then put these back for Christmas. I might use some tea towels like this.

Sunday, we took two of our grands to church with us, and then after we took them home, we met up with our local daughter and son in law for lunch. It was so nice to get some time with them. We are all so busy, they with a new baby and a business, and Tim and I with his business. Baby girl is a month old already. She's precious.

Tim went to check out a car with our oldest daughter and her friend in the late afternoon, and I had a nap in my chair. Lol.

Then we finished watching the first season of a series on Britbox. It's good but there is language. 

The temperatures are moderating here, and the leaves are changing. We've had rain off and on this weekend and it's supposed to continue through the week, with tomorrow having heavy rain.

I started and finished a scarf this week. It is a crochet pattern and so easy. I made a different color but here is a link to the pattern.

If you can chain and do a slip stitch you can make this pretty scarf!

I want to work on a baby hat for my new granddaughter. My TN daughter and my daughter in law are both crocheters and they make things for their kids.

Well, I've chatted on quite a bit. Tell me what you've been up to lately.

Weekend

 

I was busy in the kitchen this weekend. I spent most of the day making 5 dozen vanilla cupcakes with strawberry frosting. The best strawberry flavor!

Here is an image from the website where I got the recipe!

I found the recipe on Pinterest. I used a box mix for the cupcakes, but I did make this cake from scratch after my daughter had her baby girl!

The cupcakes were for a baby shower on Sunday, best friends of my daughter and son in law, and they were having a huge shower! 80 guests! Women, men, and kids attended. My daughter had asked me if I was willing to make the cupcakes, as she is just had her baby four weeks ago!

She said they were delicious! Someone else made Lemon cupcakes!

After I finished the cupcakes, I made dinner, then frosted the cupcakes, and then I made quiche to be cooked for breakfast on Sunday!

Sunday was missions Sunday at our church with our team who just were in Honduras spoke. God used them in practical and spiritual ways, and God blessed the team in many ways, too!

Tim and I grabbed some lunch on our way home (no grands this week). When we got home, I started to decorate for fall. I also made some small changes in my kitchen, to declutter the counters a bit, and see how it might function a bit better.

I did go to Hobby Lobby Saturday morning (before the kitchen marathon!) and got a few fall picks to refresh my favorite wreath, I also got a new piece of art for the living room wall. I'm changing a few things around, and I like it!

Today, I spent most of the day out as my dad had two annual appointments up at the V.A. We are so thankful for the care that he receives.

The weather is delightful. We had blue skies, white puffy clouds, and mild temperatures today. Autumn is here!

One of my favorite views in my living room. I took this from my chair. Cozy.

Lots to share with yesterday being the 1 year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death, and today being the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Let's start there.

AOC and Mamdani talking and laughing during the reading of the victim's names. They hate our country.

This year some of the 9/11 families spoke out during the readings.

I was encouraged to see this yesterday.

From the White House account today.

Then I saw this that someone had made using the towers.

I've seen reporting recently that proves that Mamdani didn't win the NYC mayoral race. Lots of fraud...

 

The memorial was good. I watched to see Glenn Beck. I was watching two things at a time last night!

VP JD Vance was FIRE last night at the Republican Convention!

Trump spoke a bit last night and a 2 hour speech on Wednesday evening!

This is very interesting. One woman juror said she also felt Lindsay Clancy was guilty, but was persuaded by other jurors to vote a different way. That man is a hero.

I want to end with this portion of a post from Heather @to_sow_a_seed on Instagram.

Have a great weekend, friends.
