Goodbye to August

Another month has slipped away, and I am left wondering how can that be. Most of the time I was here at home avoiding the hot summer days. Thankfully there has been a recent change in the weather. Five female friends and I took a day trip to Sikeston, Missouri, to have lunch at Lambert's. Those hot rolls alone were worth the trip. This popular restaurant was bustling with a large crowd.

I watched Colleen crochet as we were on the road. Amazing how fast she was able to stitch a hot plate pad.

The pads are thick and beautifully done.

She gives them away as fast as she makes them.

I decided to give the mantel a different look. 

I tried a painting in the kitchen window, but it didn't stay. It blocked too much of the outdoor view.

So I changed the window decor to this.

 Yes, I'm ready for fall.

HAPPY LAST WEEKEND for August 2025!
