Dear Self, I've been busy.

Ok.  Maybe not "busy" in the normal sens of the word "busy".

But you know that phrase "pics or it didn't happen?"

Well, here you go:

 We spent a really rainy day at a rock music festival.

 And an evening at a pub for a local music contest.

 I installed a cat-door which the cat promptly avoided like the plague.  Or a really large dog.

 

We went to a Brazilian barbecue that had a phenomenal buffet...

 And sideways waiters, apparently.

 We went to IKEA and laughed at this parts machine.

 And to see a very blurry Jerry Seinfeld live.

 I bought a boatload of scrapbooking stuff, both new and pre-loved.

 I saw Molly and Maggie for the first (and only) time in the year they've lived together.

 I made brownies.

 And installed shelves.

 I scrapped at a Saturday crop.

 And when to Cliff's favourite restaurant with friends.

 I reconnected with my best friend from high school.

 And had a barbecue where we played Quelf, the funnest game I've ever played.

 I went to my grandpa's lakeside memorial.

 And played with my niece and nephews.

 We visited Cliff's family.

 And I painted some birdhouses that Cliff's nana gave me.

And, I made this Chocolate-coconut bar dessert, as well as Donut Muffins, and they were delish.

So.  It may feel like I've done nothing this summer?  But trust me, self.  I have.

Sincerely,
Teri
