The Saturday Six

One.
Know what I've been missing this week? MY CLOTHES!!! What?? Well, I have a suitcase of some of them hanging out in our slowly-emptying temporary apartment upstairs. I have a wad of them in the laundry basket, but I don't want to do laundry until I have a place to put away clean clothes. I have a giant box filled with some that arrived in our move, but we haven't gotten to the master bedroom yet (today!!!) so they're still in the box. But one of these days, I'll find those clothes again, and WHEN I DO!!...I can start dreaming about how to mix and match some of the same pieces for fall and winter like I have for summer. Here are some ideas!

Two.
My sister sent me this link to a B&B in Wisconsin, where you can stay in a vintage camper. It's adorable, but I also loved scrolling through the photo gallery of the farm itself. The smiling pig - eeeeek! I remember going to visit some friends on their little farm ten years ago now; they are indeed wonderful places to go to learn and recharge the soul!

Three.

It's August 1, which can only mean one thing: we have a new video from our 1 second clips of July. Here you go!

Four. 
Here's a funny story for you: our boss's daughter was playing in our (very messy) apartment this week while her mom was in a meeting. She found my stash of toys and asked if I had them because I have grandchildren. That is a SOLID NO on the grandchildren. So then she asked why in the world I have toys if I don't have grandchildren, and I told her it was for our nieces and nephews. So she asked if she could be my niece. Splendid! That's a solid YES! Anyway. She had a blast playing with blocks and the stackable ice cream scoop - and I realized I might need to add a few toys to that corner. Though this idea may not be age appropriate for her, it is really cute AND easy if you have little ones at home or coming to visit. Pretend cotton ball ice cream with pom pom toppings!

Five.
A giant chocolate chip cookie/ice cream sandwich? OKAY!!!!!!! I have a feeling in my heart that if I made this, something would go terribly wrong somewhere, but I also SO want to try!!!

Six.
It's August 1, which means it is time for a new reading list for those of you reading through the gospels this year! Alas, our printer is not yet hooked up, so here's the first seven days' worth of reading and I'll post the whole month's list next week!

I felt that way with my clothes! I had driven most of my closet down and it was great to be reunited. It was great to be reunited with everything, esp since I packed my first boxes in May!!

Sounds like you are becoming fast friends with your coworkers and their kids!

The giant ice cream sandwich is much easier to make than you would think! Go for it! :) Thanks for sharing!
