May news #6 - home things and books

Hello!
I’m here, just haven’t felt like I had any news to blog.  It’s been a quiet week. My husband had physical therapy twice and I’ve been home.  We’ve both been reading lots on Kindles.  

Last month I showed y’all the mess when I emptied out some kitchen cabinets.  
here
I did get it all put in a much better way, with less stuff and I’m happy with it.  But this is the only cabinet that got new shelf paper.  I ordered some on grocery pickup and it’s very pretty but I’m not fond of it’s  quality at all.  

Below is the baking cabinet and I’m very happy with how easy it is to get just what I need when I’m cooking. 


In the corner is my Kitchenaid mixer bought in 1988 I think.  It’s been used so much and still works perfectly.  



More masks - this style is what my family members like best.  I’ve been adding wire to the nose area and it really helps with fit
A very sweet blog reader in Waco offered to mail me some elastic and I came this week so I’ll be finishing more masks soon.  Thank you so much Stacy!  I mailed you a card yesterday.  


Our dog Ducky loves to chew so I ordered him a Super Chewer Barkbox.  He was very happy with the food products they sent  but he doesn’t like the toys one bit.  Barkbox offers satisfaction guaranteed so I messaged them and that very day they answered and shipped out smaller toys for Ducky.  
So hopefully he will like the smaller toys.  
The Barkbox toys are great and look to me like they will stand up to very aggressive chewing.  



Ducky is going to pass these toys on to his “cousin” dog Murray who lives in Georgia.
Murray is bigger than Ducky, and getting bigger as he’s still a puppy.   
Isn’t Murray a cutie too?  His Mom Megan took this photo 




Remember when I shared the cinnamon rolls our son baked 
here
His sister bakes cinnamon rolls too.  She made several double batches and delivered them with baking instructions for Teacher Appreciation gifts and Mothers Day gifts. 
And they were delicious!
The Recipe  she used 
here.  It’s a great recipe and  she used regular butter frosting, not cream cheese as a family preference 












One of the books I’ve read, and it’s about a pandemic but I really enjoyed it and recommend it.
I ordered mine from Thriftbooks.com but I sure it’s available other places, maybe even the library if they ever open back up.  


 I’m also reading this series 
It’s a very long but interesting series.  








So,  I’m really enjoying reading but I’m not getting a lot else done.  
But during this situation, I think it’s OK.  


Hope you all are fine
❤️Rhonda

May news #5 - to do list and more plants

Good morning ☀️ 


This week’s to do list- I’ve already done the grocery pickup and went in to Walmart to buy a gift card that we use for our gas purchases.  



I replanted the zinnia patch from last year, with seeds saved from last year’s zinnias.  


Look at all the new baby zinnias- zinnias are so easy to grow from seed and once they start blooming,  they bloom all summer ๐ŸŒธ 




Our breakfast on Sunday- just frozen biscuits with scrambled eggs but it was delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹ 



I’m hoping to get lots done today and go for a walk if the rain cooperates with my plans.  
Have a great Monday everyone
