Lately (on Instagram)


As usual, in the land of Instagram, I captured some randomness from this week.

Like....airplanes on a dock......


And he didn't toss me into the lake afterward (as I had expected).

*   *   *   *

Another item got checked off my summer list........


Mom taught me how to make her homemade biscuits.

Next up, her perfect pie crust!

*   *   *   *

I did try cleaning the special room a bit.  And discovered that I have way too many vintage dresses.......


Should "way too many" ever be associated with vintage dresses?  

Only when you don't have closet space for them.

*   *   *   *

I got flowers from my mama and a frapp from the mister on the same day!
 

For no reason, they said!  

(I was skeptical too!)

 *   *   *   *

In an attempt to drink more water, I fancied it up.......


I heard cucumbers made water more tasty.  Crisp.  I thought using a vintage pitcher might help too.

And guess what?  I drank the whole thing.  Then I bought more cucumbers.

Am I turning into a water drinker?

My New Year's Resolution will be happy!

Now if there was a magical trick to get me into running......

  2. They probably are just conspiring to make you think something is up. Keep you on your toes!
    The only thing that could get me into running is someone chasing me, and even then I'm not sure I would do it! ;-)

  9. try putting some fresh basil or mint leaves in your water... that's what makes me drink it. this year I even spring for a lemon basil plant, I was feeling wild.

  10. These are such happy pictures! :-) I like adding a little lemon juice to my water to trick myself into thinking I'm drinking lemonade. ;-)

  16. I'm thinking the only reason he didn't toss you into the lake after the airplane is he was afraid of hitting your head on the dock! I do the airplane with my kids (only the little one now). I never thought of adults doing that! You are way fun!
    I'm so glad you loved the water! Let me know if you try it with oranges and cucumbers. I am totally with you on the running thing. Why isn't walking good enough? Enjoy your weekend!

    2. I agree with you. Limes are for mojitos, not so much water!

  20. That is amazing that you guys can still do an airplane. I'm pretty sure the last time I did that, I was 5. But how fun and cute! Love the water idea too...I always say I"m going to do it and I never do.
