I keep thinking the last of our HOT weather is on the way out of here. We had several days below 100F which gave me some false hope. I don't know why I keep thinking summer is almost over here. After living here for almost 40 years you would think I would realize summer doesn't end here until after Halloween. *sigh* But, I will take any day under 100F and rejoice.
Another productive week for me!

DIAMOND ART
Still working on this nativity scene. The bottom section of the last section is completed. The top section is about 1/4 of the way done. I will be super happy when this is done. I have so many more to work on.
I also started another one that travels with me. I will take a photo of it next week. I only work on it when I am at Josh's house.
LEGO
Still stalled
PUZZLE
This is slow going. I have been tempted to just take it and put it back into the box. But, I am no quitter. I only allow myself 1 hour a day on this. Otherwise, I get really frustrated.
SEWING
It will happen this week. Promise!
READING
I started and finished another book. "Snow on the Tulips". It was very good. Takes place during WWII in the Netherlands. I am now reading 'Hidden Blessings'. So far, it has been good. I am about half way through it.
ACQUISITIONS
Here is my planner/journal for 2026. The past several years I have used the Hobonichi Techno Weeks planner for my day to day planning and then another lined book for my daily journal. I am not sure this book will work for both yet. I do like the layout for the weekly planning as well as yearly, monthly and many other aspects of it. I got it off Amazon. I was going to get another Hobonichi until I saw how much they had gone up in price this year. Even if I need to purchase another book to journal my daily thoughts, it will be cheaper than getting the Hobonichi. Time will tell. This planner is undated which will be something new for me to fill in. I have always stayed away from undated. Probably because it seems like a lot of work to date everything and get it set up. If I do it one month at a time, it shouldn't be so overwhelming.
LIFE
Everything is status quo. Josh remains the same as last week. Our schedule has started to change thanks to hubby's classes he attends and ones he teaches. This gives me a bit more down time.
Today we went to our youngest son's home for the first Sunday of NFL football. I made Belgium waffles and bacon for breakfast. They made pulled pork for lunch. It was a nice day spent together.
The chuckle this week is soooo true. The only difference for me is....when I am cooking in the kitchen, Enrique is ALWAYS on my heels. I wish I had thought of doing this HEEHEE
Until Next Time..................Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!
