A Little of Everything

 Happy August everyone!  And apparently it is hot hot hot everywhere!!!!!! There has been a lot going on, but it seems just to be a mishmash of stuff.  Never let it be said that I do not share what is happening in my world...

First, here is Maren deciding on her dress in Anthropologie.

Absolutely gorgeous!

And there is more wedding stuff going on!  Jesse and Megan are having an engagement party this Saturday (August 13) and I am making the cake.  She wants a lemon cake.  So, off to Martha Stewart I go!

And boy is it good!  When I ice it and it is ready for the party I will take the real photo.   And, apparently Maren wants a lemon cake also for her wedding, so I will make her one.  Plus, a chocolate one for Patrick.  

On Saturday, Rhonda, Amy and I went off to Furniture Land South ~ the mecca for all things furniture.  The place/places is enormous!  We were looking for the perfect leather sofa.  Amy tested every sofa there, so there may be a new sofa in our future!

Nancy is feeling better.  Her doctor gave her the ok to drive short distances so she went to the Post Office ~ and she loved it!  He also gave her the ok to vacuum and that did not go so well.  Needless to say she is not going to vacuum for a while.

And, for a moment in time, August 5, 2923....these are the standings in the American League East.  Please take off you hats and hold your hands over your heart....the Orioles are in first place and the Yankees are 10 games behind.  I wonder how this will look as a tattoo.

And, I asked Val what his neighborhood is called in Brooklyn.  He wasn't sure but he sent me a picture of his street:

Try to stay cool people!
