Friday Favorites

July 6, 2018

I’m not sure if having a holiday on Wednesday is wonderful because I have a midweek day off… or troubling because I get to deal with two Mondays.

Regardless, it has been a tiring workweek and I’m happy to say hello to

FRIDAY!

 

 

As I mentioned, this week included a holiday… one of my favorites!

Favorite # ONE

#IndependenceDay #July4th #4thOfJuly #FourthOfJuly

To celebrate the day, some of my family came over for a cookout and pool party.

 

 

LB did a great job overseeing the grillAnd finished up just before a brief rain shower.

After a few early showers, it turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day… perfect for a swim in the poolAmanda got the party started!

 

 

Favorite # TWO

Having My Hands Full

Although Lydia left her swimsuit and had to wear a Glammy shirt, she still had a good time in the pool.

Favorite #THREE

 

 Baking Skills

Last week in my Friday Favorites I mentioned that Stephanie requested this

Marbled 4th of July ‘Box’ Cake

…so I shifted into baking gear and delivered!There is a story.

 

 

Favorite # FOUR

Last Sunday, LB and I saw Donny and Marie Osmond in concert.  That post can be found here.

Before we left the venue, LB purchased Donny Osmond’s 60th album for me.

I have been enjoying it all week!It has traveled in my car with me this week and I’ve listened to one particular song over and over again…

 

 

Favorite # FIVE

Moon River

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me.

 

 

Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.

    My grown daughter lives in Utah and went to church with Donny Osmonds son Don Jr. And they shared the same circle of friends there in Provo UT. I have been lucky enough to meet Donny many times and he really cares for his fans. So glad you got to see their show.

      Lucky You Pamela! I tried to meet him, but it wasn’t meant to be. The show was great and Donny seems like a genuinely. I love his voice!

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
