Dreams of the Mountains

The temps are in the 100s, and it is so HOT!  I dream
of the Blue Ridge and the Smokey Mountains!

I can't believe we are actually going next week to someplace
COOL for vacation. I can't wait! I better pack our sweaters!

But then again, we'll need our shorts and flip flops, too!

Thank you for visiting today.  Where do you go to keep cool
in the summer?

Love,

Lottie

New Deck

We love to be outdoors! I especially like to set a picnic table for
simple meals like breakfast and lunch. 

Can you see my problem?

Yes, I have to carry the dishes and food up and down four steps!

The patio was nice and I enjoyed it, but it was small. DH started
building a deck last winter.  It turned out better than I ever
imagined.

I can't wait to set a table on the deck and enjoy the sunset
in the evenings. DH is my hero!

Thank you for visiting today.  I wish we could share a
lemonaide on the deck together.  Hope you are having
a good week!
Love,
Lottie

"Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without"

I have learned so much since I started following blogs
about how to live a more abundant life through frugality
and thriftiness.  And it has been incredibly fulfilling!

I discovered Tina's blog over at Tightwad Mom's Frugal
Forum and love it! I found this cup at a yard sale and
think of her blog whenever I see it.  I keep my pens 
and pencils in this cup on my desk now.

 

Hope everyone is having a good week!  I hurt my

back a couple of weeks ago and have not helped

DH at all on the renovation.  In fact, I've been

such a pain, he is ready to send me back home! :-)

Love,

Lottie
