Picture Perfect Cooking

I have gotten a little behind on my H5FF posts so I am going to play catch-up today.  Here goes!

1. C & I went to see Jeff Dunham perform at the Kentucky State Fair and had a blast.  Great show and we had some pretty fun people sitting around us.

2. We finally finished decorating the mantle after starting months ago.  I really like the way it turned out.

3.  Happy fall, y’all!  I finished my little autumn display last weekend and put my fall wreath on the front door.

4. My in-laws gave me an Olloclip for my birthday and I have so much fun with this little gadget.  It is a small lens that clips to your iPhone that includes a macro, fish-eye, and wide angle in one little package. 

5.  If you a book lover like I am, but cheap like I am, you probably love your local library.  I know I do, but sometimes there is a book that I want to read that they don’t have in physical form.  Recently, C & I discovered Kentucky Libraries Unbound which has ebooks available for library card holders.  This is so awesome!!  We love it!

1. This one doesn’t have a photo but it is the most important thing this week.  My MIL had successful triple bypass surgery on Monday and is now home and recovering.  We are so blessed and thankful that her problem was caught when it was so no further damage was done. God was watching over her!

2. I froze 6 dozen ears of sweet corn on Wednesday night and now my little freezer is just about full of all kinds of goodies.  I didn’t grow this, but someone local did and it is just so good.

3. On a much lighter note, when I finally made it to the grocery on Wednesday afternoon, I took a little side trip to Sally’s Beauty Supply where I purchased these two little goodies:

Now I just need a little time to do a pedicure.

4. I have been letting my hair grow for a while and it is finally long enough to pull back so I also purchased this cute hair clip at Sally’s.

5.  Last, but I guess not least…I turn FORTY today!!  Yikes! How did that happen?  I can’t be over 30 yet? Right…right!?!?!?!?  Oh, well.  I am grateful for my first 40 years and hopefully will get to celebrate another 40.

1. C, my dad, his friend E, and I attended a Bowling Green Hot Rods baseball game last Saturday night and had a wonderful time.  It was the perfect summer night to be outside enjoying the game and people watching. Plus, the Hot Rods won 9-1!

2.  There was a great little fireworks show after the game as well. 

3. I have a new favorite song, “Next To Me” by Emile Sande and I feel like it describes C & I to a “T”.  He is always right by me when I need him.  He is the greatest!

4. I have a special praise report.  Dad went back to the orthopedic specialist for a checkup from his car wreck and everything looked great!  He doesn’t have to go back until December and if all goes well, that will be the last appointment.  Praise God!!

5. Our garden is starting to produce like gangbusters.  Homegrown lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini are gracing our table these days.
