July’s Playlist

This playlist is unique in that it's mostly freestyle from the 80's. My top three most listened to were: "Fantasy Girl" by Johnny O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmbWAINlUcg "Together Forever" by Lisette Melendez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwg6UcmWDeA "Show Me" by The Cover Girls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVITiigOQ-g The lead singer of The Cover Girls reminds me so much of the lead singer of the...

Courgettes and Hmong Pepper Sauce

Two weekends ago, Mom picked courgettes (aka zucchinis) and gave me quite a bunch. The baby ones were juicy and delicious grilled. The larger ones I boiled and bagged and froze for occasions when I want to have them with a meal. Mom did this when I was young and she still does it now.... Continue Reading →

Gardening

I purchased a garden plot earlier in the year in a community garden near my parent's home to grow some of my favorite vegetables. Now, I'm no gardener so Mom is taking care of it for me. She loves gardening and asked me to buy a plot so she could tend to it. She's been... Continue Reading →

June Favorite Songs

Chic Sparrow Austen Leather in Lady Catherine

I purchased this narrow traveler's notebook from Chic Sparrow and have fallen madly in love. It's gorgeous. I currently have a similar leather, a Mr. Darcy Lemon Drop, purchased three years ago, which has patinated to a nice darkish yellow (photos of it further down). The leather of the Dr. Darcy and Austen are exactly... Continue Reading →

Mr. Sunshine

I've been watching Mr. Sunshine with husband for almost a month now. There are 24 episodes and we're at episode 13. I learned about this show through a Youtuber and have since fallen in love with it. When I first told husband that there was this Korean Drama that someone said was worth watching, he... Continue Reading →
