Good morning, Sweet Ladies! 💗 HAPPY MONDAY! 💗
I trust that you and your family have had a great week and are in the midst of a lovely holiday weekend! Happy Memorial Day!
Here it's been a full and busy week. I got home from Knob Noster on Wednesday (was there four days for spring training) and finally just got the last of my stuff unpacked and put away and laundry done last night. It's been a WILD week with a lot of storms! In fact, we're in the midst of another gully-washer right now. 😩
Spring Interpretive Training went well and was a lot of fun! I got to spend some extra time with our youngest daughter, Amanda, too. She and I both work for the same state agency, so we often meet up at various trainings and events, which is always a plus.

Other than that, the rest of the week was spent dealing with one crisis after another, including multiple storms and a LOT of rain!
I'm cutting this short this morning, because there is much to be done before heading to our son and daughter-in-law's for a cookout afternoon.
Let's get right on into this week's post...shall we? Please, join me as, I link up with Sandra of Diary of a Stay At Home Mom on Happy Homemaker Monday. 💗
Finishing up breakfast and enjoying a cup of hot tea while working on this post. I am also watching the rain and another storm blow through.
On the breakfast plate...

The weather...
Wet! We've had nothing but heavy rain, lightening, and tornado watches and warnings for the past week. 😩
