Good morning friends, welcome back to my little corner. How are you all doing this beautiful Monday?
It is just gone 7:15 AM and it's so hot already. We have been in the triple digits the past week and I am ready for it to end. I don't know if you all feel the same, but when summer rolls around instead of going out and doing all the things, I tend to hibernate and become a recluse indoors, hiding in the darkness. Hahahah No but really, I spend a lot of time inside and away from the heat.
Anyway, let's get on with our post, we are at the last post of June 2026. Insane!
Let's see what is going on around our homes, oh and I am also adding a new category for Weekly testimonies. At least for me, God shows up every week, sometimes in small ways and sometimes in huge ways, and I think it's important to talk about and share those.
Have a blessed week, Sandra

*** Right now I am ***
At my desk, I just ate my breakfast and I'm working on this post, or at least trying to work on it real quick because my neck is absolutely killing me, and it's uncomfortable even just sitting.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
About how absolutely amazing God is, the way He shows up for us and continues to show up.
It always makes me sad when I remember that there are people out there who don't know Christ, and live a life without Him. I don't know how to do that, and when I see the things he does for us all the time, I want that for others too.
*** How I am feeling ***
Tired and my neck is really sore. Curt and I have been back and forth helping Jasmine, building furniture and moving things, and we're not young children anymore, so by the time Monday rolls around we are feeling it.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
I had a cup of coffee with sugar free Butterbeer Creamer, and a bowl of oatmeal with shredded coconut, brown sugar and dates. I always put a little drizzle of heavy cream on top to make it creamer.
*** On the lunch plate ***
Tuna salad.
*** On the dinner plate ***
Rotisserie Chicken Quarters, Smashed Potatoes, Sauteed Honey Chili Cabbage.
*** On the menu ***
Working on the new meal plan today, as always there are meals planned until Wednesday when I will get the groceries and the new menu kicks in.

*** What I am wearing ***
Grey summer nightie, with pink lace trim. Will put on a dress later.
*** On my reading pile ***
I am now in Judges in the Bible.
Finished all my fiction reading, both the Tessa Afshar and the Lynn Austin Wonderland Creek book, and have started a beast of a book that I have been wanting to read but have put off because of it's size.
Kristin Lavransdatter by Singrid Undset.
Set in 14th-century Norway, it follows the tumultuous life of a headstrong noblewoman from childhood through motherhood to her death, exploring heavy themes of passion, faith, sin, and redemption.

*** What I am creating ***
I have now gotten over the most frustrating and need a I say boring part of this blanket? I know, it feels weird for me to say that, but I prefer projects that are a big one continuous thing, and this one has been compiled of different parts, so for each side (there's four sides), I have had to crochet separately over and over the same thing, which is the one thing about crocheting that I try to avoid because I get bored.
I am loving the blanket and how it is looking, but I am very happy to see that part behind, and we have now joined all four parts together and made the first continuous row. Thank goodness. I can't wait to show you the progress.
*** From the camera ***
I love this one, this sweet kitten which we've called Pepper, just loves hanging out on our patio furniture. ♥
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***
At church we just finished the series called Modern Family and yesterday's sermon was called Releasing Arrows. It was about the way we raise our children and how we release them into the world, the things we equip them with or how we prepare them for the outside world when we are not around.
It was very good.
