What's Up Wednesday in June
And just like that the month is nearly over which means it's time to link up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday.
What We're Eating:
Monday: Fresh caught baked fish with rice pilaf and salad (and chicken tenders for the boys)
Tuesday: Sloppy Joes with fries and salad.
Wednesday: Grilled pineapple teriyaki chicken, roasted potatoes, and green beans with salad.
Thursday: Pasta Primavera (just plain pasta and sauce for the boys)
Friday: Pork chops (with our steakhouse marinade) served with couscous and onions/peppers with salad.
What I'm Reminiscing About: Seeing Alec's Greece photo (that's he's been texting me) makes me reminisce about my high school class trip to France/Paris.

What I'm Loving: Eating as many meals as I can on the deck and patio.
What We've Been Up To: My husband and I started our month in Acadia National Park and exploring Maine. We went strawberry picking. We celebrated Evan's high school graduation and my retirement from teaching😉! We saw Alec off to Greece and have spent lots of time working on the house and yard.
What I'm Dreading: Nothing at the moment!
What I'm Working On: I spent a couple days last week working on cards, some scrapbooking pages, and I started a new painting.
What I'm Excited About: Next week my husband decided to take Wednesday off and we've planned a day in Boston to play tourist before picking Alec up from the airport.
What I'm Watching/Reading: The 4 Seasons; Season 2 (Netflix), The Boroughs (Netflix), The Art of Racing in the Rain (Disney +), Big Mistakes (Netflix)-- not nearly as much watching since I read so much.
I read 18 books this month; not sure how I managed that feat but I did read & listen to some really great books (not all made it into the graphic but you can check back Next Thursday to see them ALL).
What I'm Listening to: Most likely another audiobook. I tend to have a couple of them downloaded onto my phone at all times.
What I'm Wearing: I'm finally breaking out all the summer things!
What I'm Doing This Weekend: We don't have any plans yet.
What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month: Picking up Alec from the airport and hearing all about his trip! Celebrating my birthday.
What Else is New: My husband bought this on our way home from Maine... it's our new "household toy."
Linking up with:
It's been a good month! Love those throwback picks from Paris and yes to eating out on the deck as much as possible. I try to do that with my deck.

Happy retirement!! You've had a big, fun month!! So glad your weather is cooperating and you're able to enjoy sitting outdoors (you get out in all kinds of weather which is great but sitting outside eating requires nice weather!!). It must be fun getting pictures from Greece. One of Alyssa's best friends is there now so she's been seeing Greece via photos :).
ReplyDeleteI always love reading these! I love all the pics from your younger years, you and hubby in Maine, and your food. I'm so glad you're able to enjoy some warm weather finally! I know you love the summer. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat grilled pineapple chicken looks so good. That is one of my favorites. Looks like it has been a good, busy month for you!
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness in one post. First- thanks for the reminder of Sloppy Joe's- I need to make them because I think they would go over well here. Next- I appreciate your books- will definitely refer back to your list. Lastly, love all of your travel adventures this month!
ReplyDeleteWow 18 books is impressive!! What a great month.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have to start splitting your book posts in half like I do! lol.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a full and fun month. The food always looks tasty and I love your outfits. How wonderful to sit out on the deck reading and having meals. Dreamy!! I loved the photos from your trip. Congratulations on retiring from teaching!!
