Hello friends and happy August!
I'm happy to be still enjoying the rest of the summer. I will be sharing what is currently new with me.
I'm joining Amy from the blog, Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa, for her Currently link-up. It's held on the first Wednesday of each month.
This month we are sharing: savoring, wrapping up, preparing, remembering, and organizing.
SAVORING: I'm savoring all the foods of the summer right now. I'm enjoying not using the oven for dinner and am happy when we use our grill. We had steak for dinner one night, and another night my husband made burgers on the grill. We shared some clams on the half shell one night when we went to an Italian festival, which was fun.
We've been enjoying eating ice cream flying saucers that we bought at Carvel.
WRAPPING UP: This month I will be enjoying every bit of summer. I love sitting outside in my yard and reading a book with an iced coffee.
I enjoyed going to the beach at the Jersey Shore with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
I had fun going to the nail salon and getting my nails painted a bright red color. This nail polish color is called Watermelon by Essie.
PREPARING: I will be getting my basil ready to freeze. I take the basil leaves and wash them and dry them. Then I add them to a blender with olive oil and put it in a plastic bag in the freezer. The basil can be added to tomato sauce, pasta, or soup.
I'm happy that my pepper plant did well and I'm growing a few peppers.
My herbs are doing well, and I need to pick some mint to add to ice tea.
I love how pretty my stone pots look in my yard with pink flowers.
REMEMBERING: I'll be remembering how I had a great summer and how fast it went by. I took a trip in June with my daughter to London, England. I will be writing and sharing a post about our trip. I also took another trip with my husband to Paradise Island, Bahamas in July. I will be sharing a post about our trip.

ORGANIZING: I've been trying to organize my bathroom. I'm trying to get rid of any old products I don't use anymore. I have so many bath towels, and I will give some of them to Goodwill. I will be organizing my summer clothes and changing over to some fall clothes at the end of the month. This part always makes me sad because I love the summer months and wearing shorts, T-shirts, and sandals every day.
