“To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall.” – Ann Patchett
My Personal Moments
- Big Al and I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary! We headed to Mackinac Island for the day and he sent me some beautiful flowers. I’m a lucky girl! Here’s to 37 more!
- College football has started and the NFL season will be here in less than a week. Are you a fan of either. We love them both in our home! Whose your favorite team(s)?
- Since going to Italy, this summer, I’ve been all about everything Italy. Especially books! My girlfriend gifted me Meet Me in Italy by Brenda Novak and it’s a good one! This story is a warm and heartfelt story about Charlotte, a novelist navigating a painful divorce and a looming deadline, who discovers she has a young half-sister orphaned in Italy. She heads to the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast to meet her and ends up finding so much more than she bargained for. A beautiful story about family, second chances, and discovering who you truly are!

Kim,
Looks like you had beautiful weather for Mackinac Island… one of my favorite places. Such pretty flowers from big Al. Maybe I’ll try that cherry tomato recipe when I get home from my trip if all of the deer haven’t eaten all my cherry tomatoes. Lol
Yes, it was a beautiful weekend! Let me know if you make the recipe. Thanks for stopping by. xo
Great post Kim! Happy Anniversary to you both!
Thanks so much, Ruth!
