Friday Favorites 7.21.23

Happy Friday!!  I don't know if this is more "Friday Favorites" or "Friday Check-In" but regardless, glad to have some time to catch up here :).  Feel free to join in by grabbing the graphic and linking up with  Andrea   and   Erika .  If you don't have a blog, go ahead and comment with your Friday Favorites and/or what is going on in your life and then head over to our host blogs to see what others are talking about this third Friday in July.  The summer is going fast!!! The intro picture was last weekend - we were so blessed to be able to attend the wedding of one of my best friend's sons. "MY PEOPLE" The mother of the groom is in the middle, and my other life-long friend is on the right.  I have known these ladies since I had three children, Amy had three children, and Missy had two.  We now have 4, 4, and 5 (or, in Amy's case, 6 since two are now married).  These ladies have been the ones "through it all" for the last 20 years

Friday Favorites - 07.07.23

One of my FAVORITE safety managers ever  retired yesterday.  He works for the company my husband works for and one that I have worked for (twice) in the past.  I was so, so glad to be included in his celebration: When I first started at the company in August 2019 his cubicle was right ne

Hello Monday - Hello July!

Well, look at me. . .two posts in one week :). It does help that we've been busy and I have stuff to share. Normally this would be a blog link-up but the ladies are off for the Fourth.  Glad the holiday is on a Tuesday so many people can take advantage of a long weekend.  I will not. . .I like having a job to go into 20 hours a week :) I led with a picture from Saturday, our 28th anniversary, out on our favorite lake -- Dale Hollow Lake.   We weren't sure if the weather was going to hold up (we've had so many  thunderstorms in East Tennessee this summer!) but decided to risk it.  It's a 2-hr drive from our house to the shed to pick up the boat -- our first stop was Buc-ee's! It was funny because this last week at work during an all-company lunch/all-team gathering one of the partners asked what the draw to Buc-ee's is.  Boy did a lot of us have something to tell him!!!  Apparently the new one in Sevierville is now open and a field trip destination for many folks
