Quick. Fun. Over.

Welcome to Monday, Reader-Friends!

First weekend of the semester. It had to be the quickest ever! Saturday was packed full of fun…and lots of walking!

Jon and I started the day with the farmer’s market in my hometown. I have been cooking up such a storm lately that I decided to become the proud plant-mommy of…

what could it be???

TA DA! Meet Basil and Rosemary! (cute names, huh?)

They smell so good! Let’s pray that I don’t kill these little beauts! I'm going to have to make some more caprice while I have such a lovely bunch of basil leaves!

 

Next, I went on a thrifting adventure with two of my sweet friends. If  you have been around here for any amount of time, you know that I have a growing addiction love for thrift shopping! Saturday was probably the unhealthiest happiest I have been at Goodwill. Ya’ll, I can’t do it. I just can’t reveal how much I spent at the THRIFT store! I just can’t let anyone let me feel guilty for spending a nice hunk of change at the THRIFT store! And besides, I finally gave up on all my “skinny-mini” clothes in my closet. You know the accumulating articles that you keep saying “when I lose that ten pounds, I will fit in this.” I’m moving on. I gave bags and bags away to Goodwill and got things that just fit me as I am- all womanly and such these days! Like I said, I’m not telling how much I spent but I will show you the treasure sack.

Arrrggggh! Me found me some jewels, love! #PirateTalk

 

The night was filled with great friends and great food. Jon and my Life Group from our church had a get-together. And I was so exhausted from all my heavy duty shopping, I didn’t take one photo. But trust me, everyone’s contribution to the array of finger-food was tasty tasty and the friendly talk was sweet stuff on a lingering summer night.

 

Have a mad-awesome Monday, Reader-Friends!

I love the farmer's market at home. During the summer I got flowers there every Saturday for the last few weeks!

Caprice? You mean Caprese? If there's basil involved, then it's definitely Caprese (salad, more than likely).

This summer I grew a herb garden and my basil was amazing. It's so cool growing it and then using it to cook! Sounds like you had a fun weekend !

I like that you have one small bag of "skinny mini" clothes. Mine would be 2 trash bags full! #muststartdietasap
