Happenings in July


I am quite sporadic with blog posting, but I suppose writing is a work in progress.  It seems the most views on this blog are the mind wandering ones.  So I thought I would write about what I have been doing lately. 

Buck

I watched the beginning of the Olympics opening ceremony.  I thought it turned out well. One thing I will always remember is the Queen jumping from the helicopter. It wasn’t believable but it was cute.

It was exciting to see that Mexico placed second in Men’s synchronized diving. I especially love watching Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte swim, but what is up with Lochte’s mouth grill.


Cucumbers

I am usually not a fan of coffee, but I think that might be changing.  Sometimes when we go to Costco, in there food court they have the choice of a hot mocha for a dollar.  It hardly tastes like coffee, so I guess it must be the whip cream.  It’s still coffee though. 


I finished reading Karen Witemeyer’s latest book Short straw bride and loved it immensely. 


Sunset

At the beginning of July on PBS they had a Masterpiece mystery called Endeavour.  It is a 1960’s prequel to the Popular Inspector Morse series.  I think I need to ask the library to request a copy.

The month of August I will try to blog more consistently.  The sunset pictures are from two nights ago and the cucumbers are growing in the greenhouse.

  2. It's fun to hear what you're up to, Katey! Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos, too -- you always take such great ones!

    I LOVE coffee! As a matter of fact, I'm brewing some right now to have with my oatmeal. : ) Funny thing is, I didn't really start drinking coffee until I was around 35, so only for about 5 years. I don't drink it everyday, just whenever the mood strikes.

    I'm glad you enjoyed Short Straw Bride! I just received it through paperbackswap.com. I have way too many books that I want to read, but I hope to get to it by the end of this year. It's sitting on my nightstand right now. : )

    What book are you reading now? I'm reading MaryLu Tyndall's Veil of Pearls.

    Happy Tuesday to you! Hope you have a great day!

    1. It is all the camera for the nice photos and Mom and Dad taking care of the yard so well. :) I'm not reading anything wonderful lately. I skimmed through Coming Home. I didn't really like the first half of recapping. Erin is my favorite Baxter Sister so it was a difficult story line. One of the librarians at the library had an advanced reader copy of a book. I haven't started it but it looks like there will be lots of drama. Have a great Tuesday as well. :)

  3. It's not just the camera, you're a great photographer, too! : )

    I know what you mean about the recapping, but I can understand why she did it. It did help me a little bit in remembering the story lines though, since it's been awhile since I read the series. You tend to forget things when you're *older* like me . . . haha!! ;-)

    It's not her best book, but I'm glad I read it. Not sure which one of her books I'll read next?? Maybe the 9/11 series.

    Hope you're able to get caught up in a great book soon. : )
