We are Home and Tuesday Treasures!

I'll start  tonight's journal entry with a few photos Jesse took of us.

Louis Dean loved sitting out on the deck watching the critters and flowers.

Louis Dean has learned to take pics without snapping dozens in one punch!

I'm so glad I went out in the creek!

We left the cabin at 7:07 Monday morning and arrived home at 7:07 that evening!

Louis Dean went straight to watering and I put the house in order.

While Louis Dean pretty much went straight to bed, I ended up with insomnia and didn't get to sleep until 4:30 Tuesday morning - 24 hours since I woke up!

Still, I love my Tuesdays with Brenda and we met up at Texas Thrift.

I'm s sucker for signage!

The two place mats are now on the table for two in the kitchen - and they go so well with the tablecloth in there. As for that cute little hat - I took the tag off and put it on when I shopped Aldi later.

One can never have too many books!

I think this stylish top will go perfectly with a couple of slacks Nita gave me.

I imagine I will be wearing this top often!

I am a lover of pillows and have no earthly idea why.

The two matching ones are for the two white barstools I rescued from off the curb across the street.

Louis Dean cut the legs down and I put chair covers on them and am using them in the dining room until I can find better ones.The cushions soften the hard wooden seats.

The third one is for my sewing room chair. Again, another hard wooden chair.

The fall colored tablecloth was just $2 - I've retired several in my collection due to their age and some have faded and some I just don't like anymore.

In the back is a spring table runner which I have packed away until next spring.

Nothing lasts forever and Brenda found this treasure that will replace my older pair!

Plus - she found another one for her - just like this but longer!

I swear I am shrinking more and more. Yesterday I wore a dress Brenda gave me from Hawaii - and it touches the floor now when it used to NOT!

Last of all - a beautiful poncho much like the one I bought in New Mexico.

While I am so not a 'morning person' I do love my quiet time on the kitchen deck.

There's always something beautiful to see - like this butterfly.

We can't linger long outside, though!

Triple digits are here for the forseeable future.

Louis Dean has been doing an amazing job cleaning up our back yard.

I have to keep my eyes on him so I marched out there and said, "Young man! You get right in this house and go straight to your room until I tell you to come out!"

He got a good laugh out of that but he did come in.

This is the last of Sanford and Son!

Step by step!

I've been decorating for fall for a few weeks and finished up the den today.

I set up a puzzle table and Louis Dean sorted all the straight edges for a puzzle and now he's putting the frame together.

Around 8:00 we went out to water. I walked next door to water for Stephanie and LD did the front and then the back here.

I watched some of the Olymics today - the Artistic Swimming - so tonight Louis Dean suggested a western. John Wayne of course! McClintock for the win!

I'm getting to the point that I have it memorized!

Only 23 days until September First!!!
