Kathy has cute ideas for Quick and Easy Fourth of July Decorating.
Our younger daughter made this Parmesan Crusted Steak and Potato Sheet Pan Dinner for us a few weeks ago, and it was delicious! I made it again last week, but substituted fresh green beans for the asparagus since my husband doesn’t like asparagus.
This week she baked Death by Oreo Cupcakes and they were very tasty, too!
I read a little more than usual this month, thanks to our cruise vacation! Four of the books were non-fiction reads.
The Proximity Principle by Ken Coleman had valuable, practical advice for putting yourself in a position to grow and develop your career and find the job you want.
I read The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman on my Hoopla app for free. Even before I finished it, I ordered the hardcover edition from Amazon. I rarely buy physical books anymore, but I found myself wanting to underline things and make notes all through the book. I’m now reading it through again. If you’re facing any decisions – or think you will be in the near future – I highly recommend this book.
Loving My Actual Neighbor by Alexandra Kuykendall centered on seven practical ways we can be a neighbor to the people right around us.
The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim Defede is an account of what happened in this small town when a number of planes were diverted to its airport due to US air space being closed on September 11, 2001. I had never thought about the effect of 9/11 on flights headed to the United States that had to be redirected due to our air space being shut down. This was an interesting book that followed the stories of a number of passengers on those flights.
I also read three fiction books.
I think I’ve read – and enjoyed – all of Katherine Reay’s books, and her latest, The Printed Letter Bookshop, might be one of my favorites.
Mismatched by Chautona Havig is the second book in The Agency Files series. I think I liked it better than the first one!
Once I got into Drummer in the Dark by T. Davis Bunn, I realized I’d read it a long time ago. However, I didn’t remember how it ended, so I read the whole thing again!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Those two recipes look delicious, and the steak one looks so easy, too!
The books you read sound very interesting; John and I watched a movie all the way through one time before realizing that we had already seen it. 🙂
That’s funny about the movie!! 🙂
When we travel, I usually grab a few fiction books for my husband to read. I don’t always remember what he’s read before, but he will know right away if it’s a book he’s already read. It may take me a little while into a book before I recognize that it’s a past read.
WOW WOW WOW: “Praying the Scriptures: Prayer for God’s Direction” was EXACTLY what I needed to read today, coming back into the job uncertainty after a blissful vacay week being distracted from it…
Summer bad habit: excessive snacking = my WORST!!!
I like the hope & perspective in “Seven Tips for Helping Your Adult Kids Through Struggles”
Oh! And “The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland” is also a Broadway musical now called “Come From Away” – we *almost* saw it last week, but we got other tickets at a better deal.
I had no idea it was a Broadway musical!!!
I still really want to see it one day!
Continuing to pray about the job situation!! You’ve had a such a testimony of faith in God’s provision, and I’m praying that God will honor that and show you and JB great and mighty things!
And I’m right there with you in your summer bad habit 😉
Thank you soooooo much for your unwavering support and prayers through this!!! Today was kind of a downer, so praying for fresh miracles tomorrow!!!
Y’all are on my daily prayer list, and I’m confident that this will be yet another example of God’s faithfulness in your lives.
