This is what the past week looked like.
Hot weather = morning walks.
Vacation Lindsey activated.
G made epic breakfast sandwiches with perfectly runny eggs.
Morning boat rides with the lake all to ourselves.
Floating is all I wanna do.
Brats, grilled veggies, and a side of Dominoes.
Tastes just as delightful as it looks.
Finally bought the tablecloth that had been in my cart for over a year, and I'm in love.
This was a cute, fun beach read.
Dropped M off at the groomer and treated myself to a little lunch.
Summer sunsets are my favorite.
Bat dog.
Onto 1 Samuel now.
The picture doesn't do it justice, but this storm came out of nowhere and did a number on our bimini.
FIVE STARS.
I'm recommending it to everyone I know, and I still can't stop thinking about it.
Favorite quotes:
"Like an algorithm, a family is endlessly complex yet adaptable and resilient, parents and children working together as parts of an intricate, coordinated whole."
"We must always take responsibility for our own mistakes. Yet in this new age of intelligent machines, we must also take responsibility for theirs."
"Life is not an algorithm, and never will be."
Always here for a cute beer name.
Legs for days.
The wind was not a fan of our boat parade decorations.
Benny always keeps us laughing.
Pretty girls.
We found a solution to the wind: becoming the boat decor.
Sibs.
All smiles for America's 250th.
This was the biggest boat parade we’ve ever had, stretching around the entire perimeter of the lake.
Sister, sister.
Rocking the boat decor.
The best part of the parade is always the finale, when our neighbor (and the person we bought our boat from!) closes it out with the national anthem.
The parade was a hot one, so we cooled off with a much-needed floating party afterward.
We were lake hungry and absolutely feasted after an amazing day on the water.
One perk of M getting older: he can’t hear the fireworks anymore, so he’s no longer scared of them.
Not sure if the 250th anniversary had anything to do with it, but the lake was filled with more fireworks than usual.
Coffee snuggles.
Lake tired is real.
M was exhausted too.
I spent my week off by the lake reading three books, and I’d say that’s time very well spent.
Favorite quotes:
"Some people think hiding their grief will make it go away, but in my experience it only makes it hurt more. Grief is only ever yours; it's not something you can share."
"Grief is a patient thief and steals far more than people who have never known it realize."
"Success is often the result of a series of failures."
"I keep my thoughts to myself because silence cannot be misquoted."
"Wives think their husbands will change but they don't. Husbands think their wives won't change but they do."
"Life is beautiful and life is ugly and we have to learn to live with both sides of that same coin and see the light in the darkness. The world is beautiful ugly, relationships are beautiful ugly, love is beautiful ugly. Understanding that makes life easier to live with."
Fast. Isn't. Always. Forward.
Wise words.
My philosophy.
Happy July!
Good reminders.
July is the best.
I may not agree with this administration, but I will always love this land.
YES!!
Convicting.
It's funny because it's true.
Haha.
Slow down, summer.
I feel seen.
Where is your mascot?
The dream job.
Lol.
Truth!
For more life lately:
