This wonderful blooming vine by our pool...it is just full of these beautiful white blossoms. There is a trellis under all that!

READING: Still reading The Tree.
POOLSIDE READING: Finishing Donna Leon's first mystery book (1992) Death at La Fenice. La Fenice being the opera house in Venice...so that was fun in itself. 15 more to go in that series...yahoo! What's not to love about reading a series of books set in Venice?
LISTENING TO: John Mellencamp...he performed at the NFL kickoff show and I rummaged around and dusted off all my JCM fare and had Matt put it all on my iPod.
COOKING THROUGH: Robin Miller's Quick Fix Meals slow cooker recipes from the Food Network...adapting them as they seem to be fairly healthy and simple...I am all about simple on a weeknight. (I know you are all getting tired of this slow cooker thing, but I am on a roll. I will tire of it soon.)
FAV NEW FIND: http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/ I just like looking at the photos on this site (and to my dear friend Jeff out there on Long Island, don't fear, my cupcakes are still the same since our college days, and yes, I will be bringing some when I arrive...all of them, just for you).
FAV THING TODAY; Volunteering at Guerin and getting to be part of the Homecoming Week Festivities there...actually I have been doing this all week, so I have been enjoying it all week!
SCRAPBOOK PAGES THIS WEEK; Three...weather is too nice yet to tuck into this much...winter will be here soon enough.
GOING TO: It's a swimming, football, dancing, singing, golfing kind of weekend...so no doubt we will be busy with all of those things.
PRAYING FOR: A friend who is searching for a new job to better support his family, please join me.
