Ever onward

Out my window: I feel like I've hardly been home to know what's outside my window these days. But it's hot.

Clothing myself in: khaki capris, forest green top...I have trouble knowing what goes with khaki. I know that sounds silly, but I always end up pairing browns and greens and maybe burnt orange with it because I have no idea what else to put with it. Blacks, greys, reds, blues, and purples all go with black/grey pants and skirts more in my mind, and those are the color tops I have more of in my closet.

Around the apartment: I have been back to Wichita 3 times in 1.5 weeks (read that as...kind of on edge of disaster-ish, but livable).

The hubby: has been super. He's now in Canada for his much anticipated video game conference. He will be nerding out this weekend. A lot.
  
In the kitchen: Can we just not talk about this?

Crafting: All things VBS at work. I'm going to be getting my craft on with castles, castle keep, walls, the kids' art projects and materials...

Learning: to count blessings

Reading: I finished The Once and Future King! Have been too busy to start another fiction. Haven't made it much further through my faith book either.

Watching: On one of my rare free weekends of June I watched the 3 Jurassic Parks on Netflix...have been going through a series called Brain Games...yeah, not much.
  
Bringing me joy: my family

Thinking about: my trip for work I'm leaving for in 3 days, health, how I'll spend the next couple of days cleaning, packing, hopefully a trip to Panera to use up a gift card...

Pictures to share: I didn't have much to write, both for your sake and for mine so I didn't go off on tangents/rant, so here's a plethora of pics from the last month or so...

A "Perry the Platypus" green car spotted when eating out with bro- and sis-in-law and family. It was pretty!

A bit random, but this butterfly/moth was on the ground near my car one day at work. Do you see how big it is?! I would've guesstimated about the size of my fist, bigger with wings spread. This thing was massive!

My latest jigsaw. This was one where it comes with a mystery story and you have to decipher the clues in the finished puzzle. This was difficult because you needed to know the different names for the quilt square types. I had to cheat and read ahead in the story a bit.

Leaving for vacay.

Goats on the roof! Other wise known as Al Johnson's restaurant.

I found an antique store named Chelsea's. Obligatory photo of said store.

I'm really bad at taking good pictures while the car is in motion. If I could zoom in, I would. This is a sign for Pilsen, WI. Kansas was on my mind :-)

Another bad car photo. I was trying to get the sign for the cemetery named Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Matt's Confirmation saints.

John Wayne's house of birth. Definitely going back to the museum with my dad in tow next time. I never realized he was born just south of Des Moines.
