As I Look Outside My Window 

It is  rather wet from  recent rains,  but the   air is clear and   temps are heating up..  I haven't been outside  but I would think it is buggy!

 


Right Now  

We are dealing with a bit of aftermath  since we returned for out glorious trip.  Lynn and I both came down with covid   on our first weekend home.  We have no idea where it came from..  Thankfully,l the kids  never  got it!  We are pretty much over it now  except I still ahve  my cough and  am blowing my nose like crazy  but it is  clearing up  Praise God! Lynn had a lesser  bout  with it an I am thankful for that.  Because poor guy  he has had  a terrible week. We have had  a sewer back up  that has  resulted in  a mess in our basement  not once but three times. Thankfully mostly just sewer water,  but still  we had to throw  a lot of stuff away .  We ahve had the plumber here twice and  even had him again today  which is resulted in yet another   bit of water in then basement which means Lynn is  sterizing  the basement yet again  but  supposedly the plumber    told us  this got it  for sure!   Oh,  We pray so.   I am thankful Lynn understand  the ins and out of this business as his Dad was a plumber and he has seen his fair share of backups and how to deal with them.  But  this  week has been horrible  and  I can only  say please Lord let this be the end this this debacle!  We still have all of our  clothing from the trip to wash and   well,  to say we are behind, is an under statement!

Thinking and Pondering

I have been trying to get into the mode of  planning and thinking about the here after..  One of the things that helped  was  utilizing  the  nifty items we purchased  on our trip.   While I was at Glamis  the gift shop was so  terrific  I bought several gifts for friends  which I still  need to wrap and    make plans to give,  but  for myself I  bought  this  gorgeous tea towel.. It reminded me of the   beautiful blue walls  we painted this spring and I  was anxious to g et back to decorating and enjoying the new look.



I just love it,  the cotton is really  exquisite..

 Then while we were  at Stirling Castle  Amanda   slipped away to their gift Shop and  surprised me  with  this gorgeous William Morris  Woollen Pillow  Slip. I couldn't wait to  add  a  cushion to it and it immediately found home... I do not know how Amanda knew that I had had my eye on William Morris   items  lately and this pattern , The Strawberry Thief  was   Number 1 on my list!


Later in the week  while  shopping the    fun shops in Dunkeld I found this  marvelous tea cozy in Strawberry Thief.. a bit of a different color  but still a William  Morris Gallery find!!

This really set the tone for   setting my August plans~

How I Am Feeling This Morning 

I am feeling  good and especially happy that my cough is improving! 

On The Breakfast Plate

I had  coffee and yogurt, 

On My Reading Pile

I just finished reading  the book of Joshua and  for my through the Build read and  I have made a decision.  to skip  the book of Judges. We have had recent  in-depth studies on Judges at the last two churches! I just cannot bare more  of Judges at this time!


On My TV 

I am still enjoying watching Scottish vlogs..  I am so charmed by all we ahve seen and done!  I know  because of my  mobility issues I didn't get to do  some things  but watching online    has been  wonderful!
