Friday Favorites 8.2.2024.

 

Happy Friday, friends! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for today's blog post. Today's post is a random assortment of things since I didn't take pictures this week with this in mind. Don't mind me; I've only been doing this for eighteen years and still can't remember how to be a blogger sometimes. 🤣 

This was my favorite reminder from the internet this week. I have to remind myself of God's truth every single day of my life. I'm so thankful for the love of the Lord; do you know Him? I always ask, but haven't in a while. If you ever want to talk more about this, feel free to email me at allboys@gmail.com.

This blanket was a gift to me recently, and it's my favorite! I love the colors; they seem summer-y to me. I'll be switching out the seasonal decor at the end of August, even though fall doesn't begin until late September technically. I like to change it out after Labor day every year, since it's the month that ushers in my favorite season. 

This picture was always a favorite that hung on the wall in Dad's house. I brought it home recently and hung it in the dining room. This was one of the most fun trips I remember, when he, Trish, and I went to California and drove up the coast. This was in my little orphan Annie phase of life when I'd perform the songs from that movie for anyone who watched. 

A clean and clutter-free home will always be one of my favorite things. 

This old copper kettle is another favorite of mine right now. I brought this home from Dad's as well. 

This has been one of my favorite candles this summer! So is another one in a really cute glass jar that my friend Andrea gave to me. 

Homegrown tomatoes are my favorite! I plan on eating this one tonight with some sourdough bread. And bacon; maybe some bacon. 

This is one of my favorite passages in Scripture. I read this one day this week and it blew my mind.

Chloe's puppy dog eyes are my favorite. 

It's always a favorite when I can share a meal with my sons, any range of a mix of them! 

Seeing my son's prospective new home was a favorite for me, too! He picked me up on Sunday after lunch, then drove me in my car to see it with him. I love that he wanted me to go with him! And life update: Graham bought a house! They accepted his offer, signatures have been documented, and he will close on it August 29th! I am so happy for him that I can't even be a little sad. But let me tell you how much we're dwindling down in number in my home. 

I'm saving the best for last, even though I already talked about it on Monday. Sunday lunch with Marilyn was my favorite this week. It was so good to do something new after church, and time with her is always fun. I have never been so thankful in all of my life for a friend like this dear one. She's a blessing to me in so many ways, and I am glad to have her in my life. 

How was your week? What did you do that you loved? I'd love to hear from you! I actually wrote five blog posts this week, friends. It's shocking! Yesterday's bookish post was later in the day, but it's there nonetheless. Here are the days linked below:

Monday was a weekend recap.

Tuesday was about things I appreciate in July. 

Wednesday was a hodgepodge. 

Thursday was a bookish post on what I read last month. I hope you check them all out! 

Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
