What's Up Wednesday

 

What we're eating this week...

It's a bit of fend for yourself and going out this week.  We are going away starting Friday so I didn't want to buy a bunch of groceries.   

What I'm reminiscing about...

A couple of things this month - I graduated from high school 25 years ago (which doesn't seem right but the math checks out) and although I am missing the actual reunion, I was thinking back to those high school years, and even listening to some '90s tunes.  The other thing is the restaurant where I worked in university is closing for good in October.  We are going to eat there when we are in Halifax and I'm looking forward to being there one last time. 

What I'm loving...

E is getting lots of golf in at his morning golf camp and then a couple of afternoon/evening rounds throughout the week.  He seems to be enjoying it and improving.  We have also managed to pick good camps for Q this year, he has loved all of them so far and the last ones next month are repeats.  Last year we did a French camp, which was a thumbs down, and another one that he had to take a bus too and he didn't love that.  (*pats herself on the back*)

What I'm dreading...

The last few days before a holiday are always hectic, trying to get things finished up at work, and packed and cleaned up at home.  But it's always worth it in the end.

What we've been up to...

Q has been reading a few pages of Dog Man to us every night. Although he still has a way to go, it is nice to see him motivated to work on his reading.  Will have to get back into the French in the next couple of weeks so he is ready for school.

What I'm working on...

We got new credit cards, which means I need to switch up those accounts where I have my credit card saved.  Adulting!!

What I'm excited about...

Our street is having a little get together next month. We had done a good job last year of hanging out on a regular basis, but this year it didn't happen much.  Our street needs a bit of a celebration after living through years of construction.  Since they finished up in the spring, it has felt so nice to drive through without obstacles and ugly cones and fencing. 

(and our lawn with the new sod has grown in nicely with much care from Dave)

What I'm watching/reading...

We are watching the Olympics of course! We are also finally catching up on Bridgerton. 

I posted about my July Books on Monday.  I'm carrying on with the Carley Fortune books. 

What I'm listening to...

Alternating between Zach Bryan and Taylor Swift.

What I'm wearing...

This dress. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

We are going to a cottage with friends in Collingwood, so we will get to do some swimming, paddle boarding, hiking, and other cottage things.  

What I'm looking forward to next month...

Our trip to Nova Scotia, friends and family visiting, another cottage weekend, a work trip to Timmins, and soaking in all of the summer days.  

What else is new...

We are considering what trip we want to take next.  I was thinking a long weekend in New York City in the fall, and then something more exotic next spring.  We are also starting to get emails about skiing, which I don't even want to think about, but probably want to do another ski trip too.
