10 At The End – August 2026

Gratitude, Happenings, Observations … 

1. After a crazy June and busy July, August brought slower days and sweet joys, including celebrating my pregnant daughter at her baby shower.

2. Sunsets on the water.

3. A wonderful, relaxing getaway with my beloved friend. Spending time together was a treasure, especially since we now live in different states. I’m thankful for friendship.

4. Pesticide-free, fresh cucumbers from my lovely neighbor’s garden.

5. Desserts turned out adorable and delicious for my daughter’s baby shower.

6. My 29-yr old daughter came into town to celebrate her sister. What fun to have both of my girls together for several days!

7. August reads – stay tuned…more details on these later this week.

9. August heat in Texas is comparable to January cold in New York. I was mostly stuck indoors.

10. But thankfully, there were pleasant beach walks in coastal Carolina during our quick girls-getaway…

Tomorrow we welcome the start of the “ber” months. September, October, November and December are always special. Each brings at least one holiday and for much of America, a coziness that accompanies beautiful seasonal changes. I hope you enjoy each one of them🍂.

Thank you for reading and have a blessed Monday!
