July
It's my birthday month, y'all.
And It's a BIG one! 
After I felt comfortable with all the insurance changes I was able to relax a bit - lol Honestly - it's the FIRST time I've had to be concerned about insurance in over 40 years ---
[Blessed with wonderful insurance as a state employee -]
I. Am. Old.
I am so very thankful for this life I get to live.
... for this body that I can feel aging, but that is hanging in here with me and letting me do all the things I want to do - I feel blessed to have my sweetheart and very best friend to adventure with!! It's a good life.
I had a couple of things planned for my birthday month - but also added in some things as opportunities came along... We added in a little waterfall tour with sweet friends who'd agreed to join in on my Scottish Highland Cow Adventure... and it was really fun to travel in #LordAlfredtheAirstream as we did quick overnight stays along the way. [You can read more about our adventures with him here -]
And yes I know it's crazy -
And YES - I've petted and hand fed cows before [I have some cousins who grew up 'in the country'] only to realize I was eating O'e Henry in a delicious hamburger one evening...
But I think these are adorable [and the ones we visited with are NOT EATEN] so it was all good. These are like big [GIANT] pets that loved to be brushed.
They also enjoyed the occasional sprinkler of water to cool them off - like big kids - lol. It was a treat!
In between my birthday shenanigans Craig and I enjoyed riding our bikes on local trails... visiting with his mother in The Shoals, checking in with our kiddos on their GREAT adventures, enjoying gathering with friends here in town - and yes -
Hanging here at home with lazy days...
watching the Olympics...
I finished the month off with a fun overnight in Nashville with one of my cousins who is the same age as I am. We went up to see Donny Osmond perform and he did a great show - as always.
It was our first time to see a show in the Ryman Auditorium
- and it really is a beautiful place!
We don't get together often enough and when we do we're talking and sharing non-stop until the wee hours of the morning - just like we did as kids.
I'm still recuperating - becasue, y'all know I'm a cinderella and have to be in bed early. HA.
[Who knew summer ended August 1?]
It'll still be WARM through October here in the south...
Let's move on to August!
[...and hopefully a couple of states we've not yet visited!]
