Master List and Menu Plan Monday - July 5, 2021

Good morning, Dear One! Happy Monday! 💗

June is behind us and, suddenly, here we are, catapulted into July and the second half of 2021. How was your week and weekend? 

Our Annual Tradition - Red, White, and Blue Jell-O

Our week here was good. We celebrated granddaughter, Essie's, 7th birthday via video call (a first for us) and had a nice 4th of July. I made it to town (first time in three weeks) and was able to put together the ingredients for one of our favorite annual treats...red, white, and blue Jell-O cups!

My husband's health continues to decline and, as much as I try to fight it, dark clouds gather within my own heart and soul. Daily I grow more keenly aware of how fleeting time really is. It waits on no one. Be good stewards of what God has given you. Gather your loved ones near, take the time and make the effort to create lasting memories, live each day on purpose and to the fullest, and concentrate on the eternal. In the end, it's all that will matter.
