Share 4 Somethings, July edition

 

Happy Saturday, friends, and welcome to the July edition of Share 4 Somethings! We always talk about things we loved, things we learned, things we read, and things we ate and enjoyed. Don't forget to link back to me in your post, and remember to leave some comment love on the blogs you read from the link party. Happy reading! 

Loved:

I loved the fireworks on the 3rd of July!

I loved that I remembered to get this picture of Dad and I recently. 

I loved being introduced to this song. It's currently one of my favorites.

I loved this reminder that I saw on Instagram.

Chloe loved watching this show on Hallmark with me.

I have loved my new sunglasses! They're the flat front kind and they are seriously the most comfortable pair of glasses I have ever owned.

I loved meeting up with my friend and fellow blogger, Marilyn!

I loved seeing my old friends at church a few weeks ago! Kent was my old worship leader and he and his wife are near and dear to my heart. 

I loved seeing the oldest and youngest pups being cuddle buddies!

I loved getting some new pillow covers and giving the downstairs in our home a much-needed reset/refresh. 

I loved sharing about the things I use and love in my shower on Tuesday. I linked it there.

Read:

I am reading this book every morning, but I've read some great books in July. I'll be sharing a post on the books I read in July on Monday, so come back to read about that! 

Learned: I learned about Elizabeth Elliot's sister-in-law, Colleen while listening to this podcast this week. This is a great podcast, in case you're interested. Robin Jones Gunn is one of my favorite authors, and she is the co-host along with Cheryl Brodersen. 

I've also learned some things about dementia, and what to do/not do. Most of you know my dad has this, so I like reading about things people give advice on when it comes to aging people with this diagnosis.

Ate and enjoyed: I have been loving the fruits and vegetables of summer. I ate this big bowl of fruit one day after dinner, and I've had several more just like it since. 

I enjoyed being out with my mom last Saturday, and this bowl of soup was so very good. It doesn't matter how hot it is outside, I always love and crave soup, especially La Perla Tapatia's tortilla soup.

I've been having this for breakfast everyday. It's a (new to us) kind of protein drink, the Orgain brand, and it's pretty sweet. Nobody likes them, but I've discovered that when I pour it over ice and add some coffee to top it off, it's delicious. This was not original to me, my friend Amy has talked about this before on her blog. 

Todd and I ate this sushi for dinner one night as a stay-at-home date night, and it was delicious! I hadn't had it in a long time, so it tasted even better than normal.

When we had our date night on Thursday, we really enjoyed the Mediterranean food we had. We ate at a place called Sufi's, which was quaint and that had the most delicious food.

I had the Jerusalem salad, we shared hummus and babaganoush with fresh pita bread, stuffed grape leaves, and shawarma meat with his wrap and my salad.  

That wraps another month of Share 4 Somethings! Can you believe it's almost August? I know this makes me sound old, but time goes by so quickly these days. Maybe it always has and I'm just noticing it more. Who knows? 

I know it's still a while before the new year, but I am keeping up both this link party and the Currently link party that happens on the first Wednesday of each month. That day for next month will fall on Wednesday August the 2nd, we'll be sharing what we're currently loving, looking forward to, starting, thinking, and wearing. I hope you'll consider joining up with one or both of those link parties! I'd love to have you join; they're fun to read. Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
