Summer Recap 2025
Here are a few posts that recap some of my summer adventures:
- June trip to New York and Long Island
- Trip to Arizona to visit Jodie
- Atlanta Botanical Gardens
In other news, I have been starting my meals including breakfast with veggies and added a lot more fresh veggies to my diet. I also increased my protein intake and make chia pudding to eat for breakfast every day.
I also enjoyed the occasional treat from the French Bakery (Bonnins) about once a month and cut zinnias from our little garden to bring color to the kitchen.
We enjoyed butterflies, foxes and deer in the yard! And of course, birds of many kinds.
I enjoyed a thrifting outing and lunch with my friend Rachel in Chattanooga (we rode in her convertible VW bug) and my husband and I went down the river without kids a couple of times.
My husband threw me a 50th birthday party and we had about 40 friends join us. We rented an avenue, ordered some fun and did some of it ourselves too. I took care of the decor, sangria and a few other things.
My 2 running besties threw me a birthday brunch and had the rest of our running crew help with food. We had a great time visiting with each other and sharing laughs and yummy food.
I have tried to move more and have been walking, biking and running a couple times a week. I am loving my newly thrifted collection of skorts for some of these activities.
A bientôt!

Those were some good ones! I wish I had been better with the snacking and cake the last week: that birthday week has had me falling off the wagon!

I’m so glad you made it out here again. We always have such a wonderful time, and I can’t wait until next year.
Brava for the lifestyle changes, too. It’s the best way to live healthy and feel good for the years to come.

Me too, me too! Cannot wait! I am trying to get back on track after my birthday: I don’t even like sweets that much anymore but if they are there, I eat them, so had to get rid of some stuff!

What a wonderful summer you’ve had! I love that your husband threw you a party for your 50th. My husband invited all my siblings and kids to my favorite Italian restaurant for mine. I was really surprised as my daughter and her husband lived in Charleston at the time and drove all that way to celebrate me!

That is really cool! As for my husband, that was really sweet, but I had to do a lot of the work so it was kind of stressful as a lot was less minute. He is not a planner so I am so glad I jumped in to the rescue.
