#69 Snap Back View
This is the view heading to see the chiropractor. I think Mister will need extra adjustments after I made him snap around to get this unbelievable picture. Do you believe I get to live here?
#68 Thirty-One Reasons why
I have told Mister for as long as I've known him. If you want to profess your love for me. Don't send me silly valentine cards or candy. Flowers, eh not really either.
If you really. And I mean REALLY want to show me how much you love me. Do it in August! When I am cranky, hot and am at my wits end with summer. He knows my struggle well.
so today I have decided to flip the script and profess my love for him.
Thirty-One summers with me...This man deserves a medal.
1. His sense of Humor. He has a sharp quick wit and it keeps me on my toes.
2. He thinks I'm smart
3. He is steady. Most people would think that is boring. For me that is about the best things ever.
4. He really only speaks if he has something to say. He dislikes mindless chatter for the sake of noise.
5. He is honorable.
6. He's giving. If he has something then everyone has something.
7. When he drinks enough he will dance with me.
8. He doesn't take himself too serious.
9. He loves his job. It truly is his bliss.
10. He cares about my happiness.
11. He's loyal. Almost to a fault
12. He loves our children but isn't afraid to hurt their feelings.
13. Our grandchildren will refer to him as grumps instead of gramps. It's endearing to me in some way.
14. He admits when he's wrong.
15. He talks to his mama often.
16. He's a great handyman. He can fix almost anything
17. He has a best friend from Kindergarten. I'm oddly jealous of this one. It's hard to believe he has history before me or that I don't know about.
18. He embraces my crazy
19. He loves my family like his own.
20. He doesn't worry. At. All. That drives me nuts.
21. His passions run deep and don't waiver. Faith, family, country, trucks and football
22. He doesn't shy away from hard situations. "Look them in the eye and tell them the truth" he says. It will work out every time.
23. He loves our dogs. Maybe even more than cats now. That is an amazing feat.
24. He tells me when I'm wrong. He doesn't go along with things for the sake of convenience.
25. He cares deeply
26. He loves my mama. Will usually be the first to help her with the heavy lifting.
27. He's stoic. Never dramatic in any way.
28. He's a great leader though he will never admit it.
29. He holds my hand when I'm nervous.
30. His internal GPS. I'm never lost when were together.
31. He loves me like nothing I have ever experienced before.
I could go on and on...
Most of all, he understands my sincere dislike for heat, and summer, and loves me through it until FALL arrives. He's a keeper Y'all.

#67 Summer blues
Have I mentioned that I am OVER Summer??
If not, let me just say. "Summer we need to start seeing other people. It's not you, it's me."
I just need some space and distance from you for awhile.
Our time together has been fun. So many great memories but I'm just not feeling myself anymore.
This is my current feeling of the weather these days. There is no significant rain or cooler weather in site.
Lawd, if your listenin'? Could you please, please, please just let this be over soon? I am so ready for Fall.

#66 Ready for Fall
This was the temperature outside when I left work.
This is in NO way a reflection of the "FEELS LIKE" out side.
It is however a great reflection of my hands and phone. Oh and a dirty screen, let's not forget that.
It's warm and muggy and well just yucky out there today. If you are wondering, the "Feels Like" is 108. I will still take that any ole' day over 120.
Fall where are you?? I miss you so. You are my most absolute favorite part of the year. Can we start seeing each other again? Please O Please come back soon.
#65 Sunday fixin's
Lookie Here!! Lookie Here!!
I made these with my own two hands ( in the voice of Annelle Dupu Desoto from Steel Magnolia)
Mile High 7 UP Biscuits. They were just about the finest thing ever. Yesterdays biscuits and then again today. I do believe I am a biscuit lover.
Then I felt so good about my first creation, I decided to be adventurous and try another.
It wasn't hard to do at all. I wasn't able to find canned chili's so I took fresh ones and boiled till soft and tender.
Followed the rest of the recipe closely...
And pulled cheesy, bubbly goodness out.
Wouldn't you know it. I forgot to take the final picture. The one that really matters.
It was really good. I think it will be more of a breakfast casserole for us but still good.
The pan was cleaned in no time so I will call this a Sunday Fixin' success.
Till tomorrow.

#64 Saturday happenings
Oh Saturday how I adore you.
I get to sleep in and my day usually consists of a few "adulting items" but mostly just tons of happy accidents.
First we started with this amazingness!!
Oh Whataburger you never do me wrong. It was buttery, salty, eggy, sausagey goodness. Just the thing to start the day off right.
Then we finished some errands. Grabbed a few groceries and headed home for the most amazing delivery ever.
Lawd help him. He was in lawn mowing heaven.
After a couple of hours of honing his new craft, he managed to get this deliciousness on the grill.

For all my Texas friends out there. This is TRI TIP. You must try it some day. Brisket is king around here but I promise it won't disappoint. We have only been able to find it at one place locally so far. It is worth the drive to Marlin and the hefty price per pound.
What a glorious Saturday!
Until tomorrow....
#63 Retreating the day away
Today was my first company retreat ever. Is that weird? Maybe. I don't know?
If I were in my 20's, I would say no. Pushing hard and fast on 50 though it might be a little odd. Apparently my career in construction did NOT have perks.
I am a firm believer that the GPS in my car has frequent laughs at my expense. I imagine the woman behind the voice, leans back in here chair at her office cubical and tells everyone to come watch what she's about to do to me.
So while trying to this gem of a place.
My GPS landed me here. "Your destination is ahead on the left".
I was not falling for it one bit.
I soon learned this was Jacobs Ladder and my destination is at the top of that hill.
Can you say recalculating?
I proceeded in a forward motion (Not upward) and finally made it to my destination. I didn't feel so badly when I found out that several Wacoan's had similar situations and one was escorted in by the park ranger.
I still can't get used to this scenery around here.
There were yard games, yoga (clearly I didn't participate #theycallmegrace) and tons of conversation. Have I mentioned how much I love where I work? If not, then let me just tell ya. It's just about the finest thing ever. I am blessed beyond what I deserve.
