Happy Birthday and Middle of July

My birthday was this past week and it was pretty much just a typical day; the girls gave me some cards and a friend dropped off a cake. My brother and his family stopped by and brought some cookies. We went to Chuck A Rama for dinner. I have been trying so hard to be good. I just had a salad with some Turkey and I liked it. We then came home and then went to a friends house for an outdoor movie; the girls loved it. We have a great group of people that we live by and I am grateful.

Saturday morning my friend C treated me to a massage, it was very nice. I wish I could do them more often but its mostly just a once in a while thing. I do need to go and get my toenails done soon. Well see when I get the chance to do it.

Saturday afternoon I went to the store and then spent time in the kitchen baking. In our ward each summer we have something called Walk Abouts, June, July, August and September, 4 families each month hose the ward walking around and mingling. I hosted back in 2021 and decided to sign up again. Last time we did it in 2021 we made three different kinds of sheet cakes, but this year we decided on cookies. I made 8 different kid of cookies and also some savory options as well. I did pigs in a blanket and pizza rolls.

The pizza rolls did not turn out great, but everything else did turn out. Sunday after church I finished baking the cookies and guess what, around 4:30 it started raining. Seriously, last month for the walk about it was sprinkling as well. I was so annoyed, it has been so hot out and the day we decide to do this, it starts raining. It turned out okay, it sprinkled a lot of the evening, by we did not have a huge downpour with the stuff out. I am glad its over for a few years, haha. Next month I will be happy to walk to other people’s houses. `
