Not a whole lot of memorable movies, nothing really interests me on t.v. at the moment either.

Nothing much in this department.

We visited with my older brother and nephew at my mom’s house in Colo. Springs. The boys went off to summer Camp at Peaceful Valley Scout Camp. Hh had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa.

What new foods, recipes or restaurants did I try this month?
I made Kale this month and unbelievably it was a big hit and my family told me we could have it again. S and I took ourselves out for Dinner at the salt grass steak house- it was good but pricey.
What special or unusual purchases did I make?
I bought myself a necklace with a Q on it, fun to have a quirky nickname, that leaves the cool letter Q up for grabs. This was from Red Envelope, I love thier unusual gifts.

What were this month’s disappointments?
To much time working and not enough playing and doing the fun things I enjoy. Soon I hope as we now have a new rector at church and maybe I can slow up on having to make up the weekly bulletin. Maybe I will find a little me time.

What were my accomplishments this month?
I finished the scrapbook for the Rector that retired, with lots of tags and scriptures and note cards and pictures. I sent my pal Kate a fun gift mail! Even including a letter.

Anything else noteworthy to record?
