What a week! Are you glad it's Friday as much as I am? This lady is emotionally drained. The next son heads off Monday to Purdue. Thank goodness I now have stock in Kleenex. I also don't know what I want it to be weather wise? I don't really want Summer to go but it's been so stinking hot and humid, that the Fall lover I am is just like, ok, bring it on so I can pull out the cozy clothes and boots. Hope your weekend is grand and cool. I'll be catching up on reading and getting a beer and red haven peaches with my Mr. Nine.
1. Campagne Fizzy Pop Cocktail
So easy, so fun and inspired by the drink I did not get to have on a Chicago Rooftop Terrace because they were no longer on the menu. Throw your favorite popsicle in a flute, toss in some mint and/or fruit and pour over as much champagne as you'd like.
Let's face it with temps still this hot and sweet summer winding down, you NEED this!

2. Last outing of 5......for awhile
This is a terrible selfie but it means so much to us. Often before back to school, we head over to an old school pizza joint called Barnaby's. Mr. Nine used to go there after softballs games like 2 decades ago. This is the last time in awhile all 5 of us will be together with 2 off to college so it was important to me to capture the moment.

4. Daisy and Past Doggies
Speaking of my sweet doggie, here is our precious Daisy, who is 11. When I work out on my stepper, she often sits right down in front of me, so I took this pic. She is the sweetest and smartest dog we have ever had. The dogs days of summer are bugging her too.We have to wrap her front paw as she has allergies that make her want to gnaw her paw raw.
I just love dogs and I know a lot of you do too! I thought it'd be fun to show you the other dogs I've had in my life, sadly no longer with us.
My beloved "Angie" 1977/ Basset Hound "Duke" 1994/Pekingese "Dexter" 2006

My beloved "Angie" 1977/ Basset Hound "Duke" 1994/Pekingese "Dexter" 20065. Sweetest People in My Life
Tuesday and I went back to work and my dear mama and friend Sandy know this college stuff has been tough so they had the loveliest gifts and cards for me. The sheer, sweet gesture did make me feel better. And hey pumpkin lovers, your eyes are not deceiving you...that IS Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn and it is fabulous!!
Bonus: Absolutely 100% Rio 2016
Come on, how can you not be inspired? These athletes make me proud.
The Summer Olympics are definitely my favorite! It's not just the events that I love, it's hearing the stories of triumph, heartbreak and inspiration like Michael Phelps and his road to redemption, Simone Biles family story and Swimmer Ryan Held's tears....LOVE
HAPPY WEEKEND FABULOUS FRIENDS!!
