As always
I’m grateful that
The Workweek is Over
And I’m feeling blessed that I have so many favorites to share!
Favorite # ONE
Getting Caught in the Rain
Well that’s not entirely true, but I don’t mind getting caught in the rain when I’m at the beach and safely positioned under a picnic pavilion.
LB thought it would be fun to pull out our mini grill and take it to the beach for a cookout. 
While LB and I engaged in flipping hot dogs and enjoying oldies music, the radar app displayed a RED mass directly over our blue dot.
Translation: there was a heavy, side-blowing rain that came over our location. 
Happily, we had the beach umbrella to shelter us and our gear.
Favorite # TWO
A Cool Breeze
I’m not hard to please.
Much.
LB enjoys attending the annual Summer Jazz Series at the beach.
Be that as it may, I am unable to enjoy jazz music (or anything else) when it is so hot that my makeup is melting off of my face.
After relocating 3 times in an attempt to find shade, relief was experienced only in an occasional ocean breeze. And each time a cool waft blew by, I got a peaceful, easy feeling.
Momentarily.
Favorite # THREE
Birthday Shopping at EXPRESS
I fell for it.
Express sent me a $20 Happy Birthday coupon so I went shopping!
Favorite # FOUR
Little Visitors
Lydia came home with Glammy Tuesday afternoon. 
We had a sweet visit.
Later when her Mommy and Daddy came to pick her up, they brought with them another little visitor. 
Rory celebrated 4 months this week. 
Lydia will be celebrating 3 years in July.
What a pretty face!
When asked what she would like for her birthday, she replied
MERMAIDS!
Favorite # FIVE
Shopping for MERMAIDS
If your name is Lydia and you mention that you would like to have mermaids for your birthday, it is highly likely that Glammy will make sure it happens.
This week I began scouring the internet for gifts that fall under the mermaid category.
There are so many options to choose from:
Jewelry
Barbie Dolls
Dress up Dolls
Bath Toys
The mermaid search has only just begun.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.
SO many cute little visitors and I am so happy you had a place to hide during the storm. Spontaneous showers are never any fun but they do make for some great stories afterwards. I’ll never forget the time we were caught in a downpour at Universal Studios and my son and I had to go chasing after our flip flops that began floating away– right off of our feet!
Thank you Joanne! Yes they are so cute it is ridiculous! It sounds like you experienced a worse situation than mine. Navigating through an amusement park when you’re soaking wet is NO Fun! Hopefully you were able to retrieve those flip flops! Thank you for visiting my blog.
