I had a very successful DI run to kick off, I love finding books for $1 or $1.50.
We've had mostly pleasant, window-open weather but the house has gotten up in the high 70's a couple times and we've had to turn on the air conditioning. I really prefer having the windows open, but I'm not a fan of sweating.
I started reading The Book of Mormon again and have a schedule that has me finishing on Christmas Eve.
Whitney and I have gone walking around the pond a couple times.
Adam invited me to lunch, which was delightful and emotionally draining (it's never small talk).
I got my first pedicure of the summer, woohoo!
I moved the bistro table and chairs to the front yard (since it was basically a bird pooping place in the back yard) and we have really liked it so far. Whitney actually got out of the house to draw while listening to The Book Thief.
It's official, Whitney is in full teen mode!
I read in the shade while Whitney baked in the sun...the shade is way better.
Lori and I saw "Fault In Our Stars" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I expected to sob more than I did so that was a relief.
Kale hired Landon to sand and paint the trip on the house.
It's a big job and is currently on hold while he is on a Canoe trip in Oregon with the 16-17 year olds from church.
Randy and I helped Robyn move last weekend.
I am currently reading the 5th Flavia de Luce mystery, "well bust my buttons".
I have wanted to put a flag on the house for years, but knew we couldn't drill into the brick. I thought I'd figured out a way around it but it didn't work so we ended up hanging like this, which I love!
The Waffle Luv truck was down the street this week so Whitney and each got a Biscoff and Cream waffle (so good) and took it home to eat on our bistro table under the trees.
We let Junie have some whipped cream when we were done.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these trees in our front yard.

Luci and I went to see The Fault In Our Stars opening night and I was pleasantly surprised. I read his book Paper Towns too but didn't like as much.
I wish there was a was a waffle truck making the rounds here!
Lunch with your brother sounds similar to hanging out with mine.
Luci enjoyed The Book Thief so much last year that she had the teacher who gave it to her autograph it?! I gave it a try and didn't get far, maybe I need to try again.
I love the biscoff, banana and cream waffle.
I like that you both have a place to enjoy the yard. Reading in the sun is my fav.
I liked the movie too and was happy I didn't cry as much as I thought I would.
I love your banner and new background.
It was just a fun, newsy post to catch up with you. Thanks for writing.
Good idea moving the table and chairs!
I wish someone would hire Lucas to do a big job of some kind.
I would love to be a fly on the wall during one of your lunches with Adam!
I can't wait to see The Fault In Our Stars and I think your flag looks very festive.
I think every picture in this post made me happy in some way. I need to refocus on what is good about my summer so far instead of all the driving and early morning alarms. Maybe it would be easier if I had trees. ;)
