~ from my home to yours ... ~
I love our little home, it's perfect for us! There's warmth and love within its walls and yes, mason jars, home preserved foods, herbs, books, WIP projects, lots of snuggly quilts, a swing on the front porch and a rocking chair nearby! We call it home and we call ourselves blessed. We give God the glory for He has had and continues to have His hand in it all!

From My Home to Yours: 7/17/26

~  Getting Ready for G & G Camp! ~

What is G & G camp?  It's grandma and grandpa camp!  It's our first and we are working hard to get ready to spend some time with two of our grands, just us and them for several days while their dad goes out of town.

If you've ever done a G & G camp, I would love to hear some of the things you planned and did.  Our main focus is just to go with the flow and spend one on one time with them, but we'd also like to throw in a few 'out of the ordinary' activities as well.  They are pre-teens!

Aside from preparing for G & G camp, it has been another week of 100 degree days with high humidity.  The weather here is brutal and dangerous with 'feel like' temperatures of up to 111 degrees.   What's left of our summer garden is just baking and shriveling up.


The apples are holding on ... look at how full this one branch is!

I'm still in book 7 in the Bregdan Chronicles, Glimmers of Change, by Ginny Dye.  I have much more listening time than reading time right now.  I can listen to audio books while I work, but alas, I haven't found a way to read from a book while working.  I'm still listening to The Sisters of Sea View by Julie Klassen.   (All the audio books I listen to come from Libby the library app.)

I'll be taking a blogging break so I/we can give our grands our full attention and enjoy some family time.  I will continue to do our $5 Pantry Challenge each week as I think I can manage that easily.  Otherwise, I'll meet you back here towards the end of August!

That's it for this week, I hope you've found something in my ramblings that will help and or encourage you in the upcoming week.

Until the next time ...
