Summer Weekends


We have had another full weekend and here it is Monday! I have been doing yard sales with my family for the past 3 weekends in a row. We have so much fun and sometimes we find some really cool stuff. My sister Rebekah can hardly pass up any wood furniture....she bought a coffee table, armoire, pedestal dining table, a desk, 4 dining room chairs, sides tables and more I'm sure. She'll paint everything and it will probably look amazing......we'll be kicking ourselves that we didn't snatch some of it up!


Here we go!




Saturday night we went to see Sheryl Crow.....we had 3rd row tickets! It was pretty cool seeing her that close. It was so hot outside we could hardly stand it, but we had fun.



We decided to stay in on Sunday and enjoy being home. With everything we do and the places we go, there is still no place like home! We grilled out and had a great dinner.......



Now that I'm on a path to eat better and I'm trying to think about a gluten-free diet (we'll maybe not free, but a lot less right now) it's just better to eat at home. Also, with having low iron, we try to get a steak in a couple times a week. This is one of our favorite combinations.

For the first time I experimented with a gluten-free all purpose flour and made lemon pound cake. It really was pretty good. I didn't have one of the things that they recommend adding to a gluten-free flour...it's the binder that keeps the cake from falling apart....but even without that, it was good. With everything I've read, you just have to try these flours and practice using them. I was having a hard time giving up a bread for breakfast....it's one of my favorite things with a cup of coffee, and if it's lemon or orange something....I'm all over it!



Ahhh, now that's a good morning!
