Good morning, friends! I have to
tell you…August has not been long on adventure until this week. We have packed
a whole lot of fun into one little week – and it continues today. I’ll tell you
all about it tomorrow, I promise! Meanwhile, here are some things to make you
smile!
Ryan sent me this video of dogs boarding the bus for doggie daycare. Goodness, if
this doesn’t put a smile on your face, I’m not sure I know how to help that
happen! What fun!! (Also, I can only imagine Lexi in this mix. She would just
be beside herself. As long as they don’t use windshield wipers, that is…)
If you’re
not from around here, you won’t know this story, but it might make your day to
see a glimpse into it. We have a teen at our church named Cooper, and he has
developed the best friendship with a guy from his school – Memphis. Cooper’s
mama posted this video after 4H fair week last month,
and she also posted these words about it: “If you aren’t in Cooper or Memphis’s
circles, you probably don’t have any clue of the time and hard work that was
put in by Memphis to accomplish this goal of being strong enough to show not
one, but two calves this year. Memphis spends countless hours doing therapy and
getting strong enough so he can stand to show his animals. What you also don’t
see is a friend who treats Memphis like a typical kid without a disability, but
shows a great deal of tenderness and understanding when needed. Cooper pushes
Memphis because he knows he can do it. Watching them interact and work hard is
a gift. Cooper and Memphis have a bond that makes my momma heart proud…Not for
any banner that they received, but for their hard work and determination, even
when odds were stacked against them at times. I could go on and on about their
friendship and what this fair meant to both of them, but honestly, I think the
video and the song does a great job of that.” Great job, Cooper!
I was
SO GOOD and didn’t post anything about Christmas back in July. But it’s August
now, and I can no longer hold out. 😊 KariAnne posted this home tour back in July – just to get us all in
the Christmas mood, and it totally worked. I think it’s all her blue and
white. I just love a blue and white home – and season of the year, even at
Christmas. Maybe especially at Christmas. If it’s too early for you, just tuck
it away for later. But the planner in me urges you to begin to get in the
spirit… 😊
For the
last few months, I’ve been posting a joy every day on Facebook. I try to find
something throughout the day that brought joy to my heart and share it, mostly
to try to get other people to see things throughout their own days that bring
joy to THEIR hearts. Scotty Smith’s post has a similar feel, so I wanted to
share it with you. What brings you joy today?
Obviously
I’m not a teacher, nor do I have kiddos, so I am not going back to school this
fall, but if I needed to…Audrey has some cute ideas for back-to-school outfits! She
shared this post a few weeks ago, so I don’t know if all the sales are still
valid, but maybe the outfits will still inspire!
I’m really not ready for soup weather yet. I’m enjoying summer far too much. But I am saving this for when soup weather finally arrives. A tomato soup with cottage cheese (pureed, of course) in it. I love the idea of the tomato acidity cut by the creaminess of the cottage cheese – and the extra protein! I’m going to try this one! But not today.
