Weekly Recap


This summer is flying by too fast!  I refuse to believe the first week of July is over.

But since it really is, I'll just reflect over a great week of BBQ's, lake time, and more BBQ's.

Oh, and a possible homicide down the street.

More on that later.  Let's talk food, friends, and fun!!!

1.  I was on a boat.  More lake time.  Can't get enough......



2.  BBQ #1 was at Whit's house.......for which I made a tasty guacamole, watched fireworks, and played lawn games.  We might have also posed in matching wolf t-shirts......



3.  Whit and I took a rare trip to Branson.  I sort of came home with a new purse.  And now I'm on a self-imposed buying ban.  But it was an incredible deal and it's coral......



4.  While we were in Branson, we thought we'd be super wild.  And stop by Silver Dollar City.  It was way.too.hot.  But we hung around long enough to eat good food and be silly in Grandfather's Mansion......



5.  On the Fourth of July, we attended BBQ #2.  It's not the 4th without grilled burgers....



6.  And lastly.  Probably the worst thing ever.

I headed down the street to meet my girls for dinner the other night.  Only to be greeted by nine or so police cars around the corner.  And legit crime scene tape.

You bet I took a picture.......



I was a little freaked when there were even MORE police cars upon returning home (hours later). 

As it turns out, the coroner drove off with "remains" that were in a trashcan in the backyard.  And that's just part of the story.

I'm very anxious to hear whether it was a human or cat as they haven't released the findings yet.

I really love our little house and the neighborhood.

I don't love bodies in trashcans down the street.

Seriously.

Is it time to move?

And did I just over-share?

  1. Love the purse! Did you download the police app on your phone yet? We have it, we've got police around our hood all the time. And a neighbor with a pool in his front yard, but that's beside the point.

  2. 1. Give me wildfire anyday, but Grandfathers mansion makes me so sick. Weird. I know.
    2. Be warned. I walked into Walmart last night and gasped out loud. They were getting out school supplies. All I could think was, this can't be happening, summer can't be flying by this fast!

  5. 1. Love that purse! But I'm thinking the self-imposed spending ban might be a good idea! ha!

    2. Didn't you know better than to go to SDC in this crazy weather...it's WAY TOO hot for that place!

    3. I can't believe that's the neighborhood you live in...I grew up & still work in Marionville so I couldn't believe it when the original story broke!

  20. Those shirts crack me up. And that Coach bag is great. As for the current news events, there has been too much of that around here lately and it's so depressing. The other murder happened just nearby where i live too. Ugh. Stay safe!
