Fall's not arriving until September 23rd. I'm so tired of waiting! The yard is once again patchy and burnt...no matter how much we water. It just can't take the constant heat that lays on it like a blanket. My Foxtail fern is holding its own though and so is the white jasmine and bougainvillea. Interesting! I'll plant more of those in future.
Taking a breather from the heat, daughter Crystal came up for a visit to see her daughter, Sam and grandbaby, Sloane. We all went shopping at Hobby Lobby and then to lunch at Schmaltz Sandwich Shop.
While at Hobby Lobby, Sami found these cute little spoons. I thought how cute, and they are small enough to feed baby Sloane with! I'll try one out on Monday when I keep her.!
Sloane...the perfect shopper!
Here's the sandwich we had...My word they're one great sandwich! Cook them up fresh for you.
Sloane certainly enjoyed herself and flirted with the customers. She was a big hit.
I knew this trick but never have a popsicle stick hanging around to try it!
I took Hubby out for breakfast at our local cafe. Most times we've gone, it's been really good...but not yesterday. The gravy was salty and had a "mix" flavor. I liked the bacon, but Larry did not. Even the coffee tasted...off. Guess it might have been a different cook? No clue. Eating out is a luxury these days. I'm no longer willing to shell out $25 plus $4 tip.
Almost $30 bucks for what you see in above photo...In the future we'll be going to tried and true restaurants for our, "get out of the house" trips.
The Robinson Cafe...We like their hamburgers though...if that hasn't changed as well?!
I made Lemon & Garlic Spaghetti last week...turned out great!
Now, onto the Fun part of the post. Did I say Fun? I exaggerate... It is a nightmare for this old woman to learn! Give me a wound to sew up...or an injection to give but this...Cricut hobby is getting my "goat"! I even bought all the correct tools for it...like the iron in the above photo (the Cricut Maker itself was a, "because you need something to do that will drive you insane" gift, from Hubby...Well, it is certainly doing that!
And don't think I'm not grateful for his thoughtfulness...I am. SO, I'll keep trying to create fantastical things with it...if I ever learn it. I've tried Youtube and am still trying to find someone who understands that not all learners are 25 and... perky.

I did create this little bodysuit for Sloane...however, if it falls apart in the wash...well let's hope it doesn't!
I think Hubby can still run...lolol
One morning last week, we got up and that old dilemma of, "what to fix for breakfast", hit me. Eggs, bacon and bread for toast were sitting on the counter, staring at me, so I just threw them all together into a sandwich! We really enjoyed the change!
We went to a Mexican restaurant here in town that we really enjoyed. It was new to us, so we stopped in for lunch. Money well spent. $35 plus $5 dollar tip. That's a bit expensive but it was a lot of food.

Well, I suppose I'll end things here. Our week was basically quiet...although I did have a dental cleaning appointment. I don't mind those...makes your mouth feel so clean...yes, I'm weird.
So, until next time, make good choices...be kind to each other...and
