A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Busy Monday 727

I prepared this post and left it in draft mode instead of scheduling a publish time — head hanging! Thanks to those who dropped me an email to let me know as we were on the road Sunday. My apologies to the Sunday partiers!
We spent  last week where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains celebrating   a special young lady’s high school graduation with honors. And, of course, eating, talking and laughing for the whole week with family.  A much needed and welcome break.  May you be able spend time with your special people this week! Even a phone call is a great way to connect! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome recipes, great ideas and special projects!

      It was a great time — and a new generation is on the move. It was great to meet the graduate’s friends and hear all their plans for the future!

      It was great and a much needed get away. I think my shoulders dropped at least three inches — back to where they belong — on the very first day!

    I’m around where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains myself. 🙂 I hope you enjoyed your special celebration. Thank you for hosting this fun linkup! It’s nice to know we’re all human and sometimes leave things in draft mode. ha I’ve left 2 posts of mine and am off to visit others and leave a “comment gift.” Wishing you a great week to come.

      I saw that phrase on a map at the new Air Force visitors center and it stuck. Amazing displays inside and beautiful vistas in every direction outside! We had perfect weather and a wonderful graduation party — great time all around. Thanks for stopping by!

The robot vacuum cleaner,  faithfully following the same program for nine years,  got lost this week. I pulled out my phone and clicked on the robot icon.  “Set new password” popped up, along with the advice to log in on my desktop.  There I was told to “Include: At least 8 characters including, Lower case […]
