Cooler temps...Rain on the way...Mexican brunch and The Week's Update.

 

The Great Decluttering continues.

The felines are less than amused.

"You are messing up our...everything!!!"

                                                      Gadget and Sofi

And slowly progress is being made.

Happy today...the heat (which has been insufferable) is starting to break. Today started in the 70's. Felt almost chilly given the 90's of last week. Clearing out the dry and crispy flowers and planting sunflowers for Fall. Quite a bit of rain on the way...they will be up and bloomed soon.

Diane and I, had a late Mexican Brunch out this week...great food...catch-up...and chat. Her garden, like mine, suffering the effects of the recent heat wave. I decided to cut the remaining basil and oregano...already crisp and dried...strip it and mix it together with powdered garlic and dried onions. Jarred and in the cabinet simply as Italian Seasonings.

Hopefully, the cool and wet week will lead to a beautiful Fall.

Plans made with Brenda for early next week.

Angie is feeling better and The Shoppe is doing well.  Fall Decor is coming.

Chris is happy and enjoying his new career.

Lennon (although fully vaccinated) is double-masking again thanks to unbelievable Covid levels.

"Thanks, DeSantis"

and James is just happy it is finally getting cooler...having been on a roofing job for most of the extreme heat wave.

He and Nicki, slipping away for a concert in Chicago last weekend.


 Because you can't just be Mom and Dad all the time.

The grands, all back to school.

A sophomore, a freshman, a sixth grader and a second grader.

Busy times.

Planning a get-together soon.

Finally, new movies again...

Caught up with 


 Friday night.

Dom and the crew are back!

Realized the franchise has been going on since 2001. 20 years out and still entertaining.

Enduring characters, hot cars and great stunts/action. What's not to love?

Some..okay, a lot, of suspension of disbelief...but overall a good story-line culminating in warm fuzzies at the end of this one.

If you've followed F&F from the beginning you will love it.

If you haven't you might want to watch them in order first...as this one wouldn't stand alone very well. You need context.

Well worth the wait.

Starting a Cinderella Day, here.

More anon...

 

Addendum:


Football is back! 

The Colts play the Panthers at 1 tomorrow...pre-season.
