Getting back

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Looks like it's lake day already today as I have seen several people pass by. The sun is out, and it will probably be hot later which gets people out earlier. Instead of going for the exercise route, I stayed in the kitchen and have banana bread in the oven. It is easier to bake while it is cooler out too. What have we been up to this week? It feels like Serra has been out and about more than here. She has spent a good chunk of the week hanging out with her friend with a day out together and a long holiday weekend. I hope she has gotten at least a little bit...

Summer limbo week

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun has come out of the clouds today and is shining brightly through the patio door. I love having nature right outside, even if I scare the bunnies and the geese hiss at me on the trail in the early mornings. What have we been up to the last two weeks? One highlight was a trip to the movies to see Thunderbolts*. We have been Marvel fans since day one and was looking forward to this one as it has some of our favorite characters. Not only was it a good return to what we love about the films, it had an amazing message that was unexpected. Whoever did the editing for the trailers did...

Hello summer

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is high and bright outside the patio door already today. The girls are loving the high temperatures and dry heat that are allowing them to dry out from the east coast. I am enjoying the unexpected rainstorms that have been happening in the afternoon. I guess that keeps us all happy on the weather front. What have we been up to this week? Serra has been having more time out and about with her bestie. No concerts this week, instead a two-night sleepover. We also had our traditional sushi dinner. Amanda does not like sushi, so we indulge on occasion when it is just the two of us. It was also a new...

Out and about

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! You wouldn't think it was summer with the view outside the patio today. I think the sun is hiding and things are a bit cooler than last week. I rather like it. Serra might be ready to bake like a lizard but I'm not. What did we do this week? Amanda had some fun with friends in her last full week in Rochester. I get the feeling she is ready to come back and see her people again as she did a test run on packing. Here's hoping it is a quick few days for her. Serra is having a blast with the bestie as they went to a concert this week and dancing last...

Summer already?

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The weather is bright and clear outside the patio door today as the overcast skies and rain have given way to the sun. I rather enjoy the rain and hope we aren't into blazing hot temperatures too soon even if the calendar now says June.  What have we been up to this week? It sounds like Amanda and Serra are both enjoying some rest and relaxation. Late nights with friends and lots of sleeping in are their agendas at the moment. Not a bad way to start the summer. Serra has been out and about with her local bestie twice this week and I have a feeling that is how most of the summer is...
