The weeks go by so fast, and guess what…
Summer is officially here!
What we’ve been up to this week
It’s been a very dreary and rainy week here in Florida!
Not so good for the tourists, but great for locals since we had drought conditions during Spring.
Our yard still has not recovered!
Hopefully, the summer thunderstorms will turn that around!
Father’s Day
We didn’t let the rain keep us from celebrating two very special occasions!
We grabbed our rain ponchos and headed to Disney Springs for brunch at Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming Restaurant.
Rich chose the Hallelujah Biscuit!
It’s an open-faced biscuit topped with fried chicken, two over-easy eggs, pimento cheese, pecan-smoked bacon, and sawmill gravy with a side of grits!
A great plate of food for a great Dad!!
Griffin’s Birthday
We were also celebrating our son Griffin’s 24th birthday!
One of his favorite foods is deviled eggs, so he chose that as our appetizer!
Then he had fried chicken, french fries, and green beans!
His birthday celebration continued later in the week, and we went to see Disney’s Elemental!
The movie opened to small crowds, but our theater was packed, and everyone applauded when it was over.
It won’t go on our list of best Pixar movies, but we enjoyed it.
What we’ve been up to on the blog
If you missed any of our posts this week, now’s your time to catch up!

We need rain too so badly!!! Enjoy the weekend!!
It has rained a little bit every day for the last week! Wish it would do the same this week, but I don’t think we’re going to get that lucky! Have a great week1
Thanks for hosting Donna, looks like a good time at Disney Springs and some yummy food! Glad your son had a good birthday dinner. I have enjoyed your organization posts, it is my one nemesis.
Hello, Cara! We had such a fun week celebrating! I’m glad you are enjoying our organization posts and that we can be of help to you! I hope you have a great week!
Hi Donna! Thank you for hosting. Happy Belated Birthday to Griffin! Also – the food served at the restaurant looks amazing. Have a fabulous weekend – hopefully one with summer thunderstorms.
Thanks for partying with us Anna! I never thought I would wish for rain but we need it desperately! Hope the weather is good in your neck of the woods!
What a fun way to celebrate Griffin’s birthday and Father’s Day, Donna! I love that they each got to enjoy their favorites – it looks delicious. The rain has been no joke in Florida lately. I swear it feels like it’s been 2 weeks straight. There are mushrooms growing all over our yard ha ha. I’ll take the rain over hurricane prep any day of the week though! Hope your weekend is a fun one and thanks so much for hosting. These features are all fabulous, CoCo
Hey, CoCo! The past two summers I felt like a mushroom farmer, but it’s so dry here we have not had one mushroom in our yard yet! We really need another week of rain but it doesn’t look like we’re going to get much this week! Thanks for coming to the party! Have a blessed week!
Donna, thanks so much for hosting! Have a lovely weekend!
You are welcome Kim! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous week!
