What to do Weekends #244 ~ Happy AUTUMN/FALL (Officially)!

Hello friends! Welcome. And, I finally get to say it tonight.......Happy Fall 2017!! If you follow me at all you know this is my very favorite time of year! I, very literally, count the days! :)  I'm so excited to get to start bundling up in blankets and not having to worry if it's too hot to bake or not!  I do realize that many of you live in other parts of the world and that you have endured some devastating weather. I truly apologize and I am praying that you all are dry and safe. I'm here in Northern California and the heat has been awful. I am not a small woman so when it passes 90, 100, 110 degrees Fahrenheit ... I am simply miserable and unable to do anything, hence my over exuberance for the seasonal change. 

Okay, back to the party! You all shared some wonderfully fall'ish posts that I was so excited to see! as you will note by my features this week, I have a bit of a one-track mind, lately!  On with the show! 

Please do check out the Party Board!  I do pin quite a bit to this Board every week. 

Up first, Southern Seazons shared her fun Fall Bench all decked out in her Front Entry!  Love this look! 

Cooking on the Front Burners shared this yummy recipe for Quick and Easy Upside Down Peach Cake for Two Love this recipe!

A Very Special Week & the What to do Weekends Party!

Hi Friends, Happy Weekend! Ladies, I am sorry I will not be able to post my usual Features today, I will catch up more with you all next week. I have pinned many. You see, this week, my family and I are celebrating these beautiful people!

This is my incredibly wonderful parents 60 years ago!

After an aneurysm, cancers, and strokes and all of us they are still together, still in love, still on their own two feet and still wonderful.  Our family is completely and wonderfully Blessed by the abundant Grace of God with my miraculous parents.
Here are my parents today and, unbeknown to them, we are going to truly celebrate them in style this weekend!

What to do Weekends #237 ~ Happy August

Hi friends, I'm so glad you are here. Happy August! Already. This summer and year, for that matter, have just been flying by. I hope you've had a good week. Mine was a bit slower than usual, but then again that's kinda nice every once in awhile. I shared my Lemon Curd and Candied Lemon Peel recipes with you all earlier today. I hope you get a chance to take a look.  With that said should we get to the party? 

So much talent, thank you all so much for joining us each week. This week, I'm sharing a few FEATURES that caught my eye. 

First up, is Interior Frugalista's Faux Snakeskin Tray with Stencil. I love how this turned out. Nice job!

Paulette's Paper shared her Weekly Bible Journal.  I love it! Friends if you haven't started bible journaling yet, you really don't know what you're missing.

How to Make Homemade Lemon Curd and Candied Lemon Peel!

Hi Friends, It has been too long since I've been able to share something of my own with you! Yesterday, I posted some of these images on Shoestring Elegance's Facebook Page Well, let's just say there was far more interest than I had anticipated in my use of the Lemons that came with my new home. I lost my rose garden when I had to move, but I gained a Lemon tree! I'm, constantly trying to find the silver linings, I guess.  Truthfully, to have found any new place in my home town these days is quite a feat, so I am choosing gratitude for all that I am blessed with. Which now includes a Lemon Tree! 

Which brings me to these images!  With the lemons starting to fall and new green ones starting to appear, I felt I better get to using them for something more than the lemon zest in my everyday cooking.
