Share Four Somethings - June 2021

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog. 

Up until this month I have been participating in the Share Four Somethings link-up from my Just A Second blog. However, as I'm adjusting the focus here a little bit, I decided that the practice of sharing Something Loved, Something Read, Something Treasured and Something Ahead might be better done here. At least I hope so. Thanks for your patience with me as I stumble through the changes and trying to find out what I want to do with this blog space. It's not as straight-forward as I'd like!

Something Loved

Back in the fall I gave the Something Loved shout-out to Black Rifle Coffee Company. They were new to me at the time, but being a coffee lover and being on board with their company mission, I was soon a loyal subscriber to the coffee club. I've been getting a couple of coffees every month with their subscription service, and every one has been so good. So recently I upped my game to get the coffees every three weeks. 

 

Something Read

I completed only two books during the month. Well, so far. I have almost a week remaining, right? I do have quite a few I'm working on and hope to finish a couple of them soon. You can see more about my reading in my Monthly Bookshelf Review for June 2021 which should be live at Just A Second in a couple of days.

Finished and reviewed:

Mortal Arts by Anna Lee Huber

Heart of a Runaway Girl by Trevor Wiltzen

   

Currently Reading:

The Inviting Life by Laura Calder

A Grave Matter - Anna Lee Huber

Between the Wild Branches by Connilyn Cossette

The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik

   

     

Something Treasured

Last month I treasured graduations, which carried over to the beginning of June. Our daughter graduated from the community college and is in the process of transferring to a local university to finish her music degree. 

We treasured more returns to normal living this month, even as we have been involved in advocating for good policies that protect rights and freedoms so that all of us can go back to school, to work, to church, and to doing all the things we love. 

One of the things we love is spending time with family. As usual, we spent time with family that lives with us, but we also got to spend time with our family that lives in Columbus. Last weekend, the hubby and I went to visit for a couple of days. It wasn't nearly long enough, but we had so much fun with our son and his wife and our granddaughter. This weekend all the kids that live here are out in Columbus having their family time with their brother! I love that they all get along and like to hang out together. And I'm also treasuring having the house to myself for a couple of days!

Something Ahead

The rest of the summer lies ahead, and we haven't made plans for it yet! We've talked about vacation possibilities, but have made no decisions. I hope it includes lots more family time as well as a getaway or two that's just for me and the hubster. 

We just got work estimates for a couple of home improvement projects we've been wanting to do for a long time. We purchased a new sliding door for the dining room, and will have it installed just as soon as our contractor can fit it into his schedule. And just today I had the flooring guy in to measure and give us a quote for new tile flooring in the kitchen and dining room. I'll be scheduling that for immediately after the new door. So exciting! But probably what we're spending on those things will reduce our vacation spending a bit, now that I think about it.
