My World this Week

I really do plan to write more during the week but summer has other plans.  Can you believe it is almost July?  It has been so wet this year that the woods near us look like a rain forest.  I've never seen it quite so thick.  Bigfoot could be there and one wouldn't see him.  Her?

So today I am going to follow my own advice that it doesn't have to be perfect, good enough is well... good enough.  Here is a quick as a bunny My World post. 

Speaking of Bigfoot and all... I'm enjoying the new season of Finding Bigfoot.  Yeah, I know.  My family doesn't understand my love for the show, either.

Watching

New Season on Animal Planet...  :)

Reading

I'm thoroughly enjoying this* book which is one of the Kindle reads I'm making my way through.  I'm only half way through it but it is good summer reading so far. 

It is the first book about prayer where I've found myself laughing out loud!

Tea Time

We love the lemon "crazy cake" recipe from this website.  I've made the chocolate version since I can remember, it is one of Christopher's favorite cakes.  But my husband loves "all things lemon". 

This recipe is great with an easy lemon frosting added.  I make the original recipe as it makes a small cake just right for my family but you can double it for a 9 x 13 pan.

Baking

I tried a new lemon bar recipe for Father's Day from this* cookbook.  Oh, my.  It is the best recipe ever!  I found my copy at Goodwill during the winter.

If you remember, I wanted to be a pastry chef at one time before illness prevailed.  But I still bake once in awhile.  And my husband loves it, as do my neighbors.  It is also much better for a person who has to count carbs to have something worth cheating on once in awhile.  ;)

Creating

Stephanie gave me this gorgeous paper when I visited New England a few weeks ago.  I put it in this large frame (which was originally from a thrift shop long ago), and there was enough left over for a couple cards and a scrapbook journal page.

Her Fluffiness

Yes, that is a Maine Coon lump of kitty in the chair snoozing.  This is where she has pretty much lived since it got hot and humid.  It is the only room where we keep a window open for her.  That is because it is my Study.  I spoil her. 

She does still jump on the desk when I'm working.  There are no photos this time but trust me, the cat hair on everything I'm doing is proof.
