Ketch-up Tuesday

 Greetings, Blogger Buds.

 How much would you pay for a pair of gloves?

So, I saw a cute pair of gloves on Etsy. Didn't need them but they had cats and flowers, need I say more?:) So I clicked on the link, saw the price and mentally reeled back, clutching my heart. Go on, guess. How much do you think they were? 

One hundred and twenty-eight dollars. $128.00. 

Didn't see that one coming.  Needless to say, I decided I could do without kitty/flowers gloves.

I've been playing in the rocks. Though, I must say, given the heat it wasn't one of my better ideas.

Note how sparse the grass is. Spring it was lush. The heat is just devastating the grass and plants.  I give it a light sozzle every night, but it's just not enough.

 

 Got dogs? Expensive gloves? Rocks? Rain?

 

 

Weekend Wishes

"Like a delicious gourmet meal; you can't stop, and still want more! Found Any Vansant and the Kilty Series 24 hours ago. With a ready supply of oodles of books ready to be read, I am barreling through this series with greedy delight!" ~ 5-STARS Pamela Heinrich

While investigating the kidnapping of an actor’s child, time-tossed Highlander Brochan suspects a woman at the scene is the raven-haired beauty who’s been haunting his dreams. Worried his reoccurring fantasies are memories of his previous life in ancient Scotland, he vows to discover if the mysterious Fiona is his true love.

Hollywood fixer, Catriona Phoenix is left confused by both her step-father’s dramatic recount of her appearance in his life and her time-traveling Highlander’s waning affections. She devotes herself to the kidnapping case—only to discover her romantic rival might hold the key to her mysterious past.

"Captivating - I read the first Kilty book and was so delighted with it that I bought the next two, pretty much right away. They are so much fun!" ~ 5-STARS Amazon Reader

"Fantastic read. Time travel brings old friends and relatives together. A lot of questions let unanswered, but this is fantastic! A definite must read!!" ~ 5-STARS Amazon Reader

"More, more, more! I have had such a great time reading these books. So funny I even had to read some of it to my husband, who, by the way laughed out loud with me!" ~ 5-STARS Amazon Reader

Tuesday's This and That

How are you, blogger buds?

We visited with the grands and their parents this weekend. I was thrilled to find out the kids have donated their time and money this summer to worthwhile causes. The little girl set up a lemonade stand with one of her friends, made over seventy dollars and donated it to cancer research. And both of the twins read to shelter dogs. 

 

My question: Do your grands, children or friend's children volunteer and where at?

 

AND
