Garden Update, 8/4/2016
If you’re counting, you know it’s been longer than two weeks since our last garden update! I credit that to two things: life is busy and the blooms are slowing down! I’ve realized that I need some late blooming perennials for my flower beds! (I sure hope my specialist at Natural Plus Nursery is paying attention! 😉 ) Other than the phlox and a few lilies…things are just about done and starting to look drab! Here are a few snapshots of the gorgeous blooms left that I do have!
Friday in Franklin County: AmericInn of Hampton
As you age you watch the community around you evolve and grow. Part of those observations for me is remembering when the AmericInn of Hampton was built. Now, it’s a staple in the community!
On July 3rd of 1998, the AmericInn of Hampton was opened by previous owners. They saw a need in Hampton and jumped at the opportunity! I remember, at the time, it was a huge deal that Hampton was getting a chain hotel that was locally owned. Now, the hotel is owned by Bharat Patel who is very involved in the community and continues to keep the hotel updated!
Wordless Wednesday: Steadfast
Lamentations 3:22-23 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”
Friday in Franklin County: Breadeaux Pizza
Hollywood Entertainment Center: Branson
#FlintsTakeBranson is all over: Done, finale, finished! One of our MANY stops was the Hollywood Entertainment Center on the main drag in Branson. We actually made it our very first stop of the trip because we were that excited about it.
The Hollywood Entertainment Center in Branson consists of four different aspects: Shoot for the Stars Miniature Golf, The Hollywood Wax Museum, Maze of Mirrors, and Castle of Chaos.
Friday in Franklin County: Pakoda’s Steakhouse
Wordless Wednesday: God of Hope
Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Garden Update: 7/18/2016
We’re back for another garden update which means it’s been two weeks already! Those two week periods seem to be going faster and faster as the summer rolls along! I don’t have a lot of words today, just a lot of pictures for you, so I hope you enjoy!
The North bed is doing great! The Tickseed that I purchased from Natural Plus Nursery this spring is blooming like crazy (the red & yellow flower). The phlox are finally in full bloom and they are some of my favorite as they are so vibrant!
Saucy Beef Sandwiches
Summertime meals are a funny thing, but what isn’t funny is how crazy good these Saucy Beef Sandwiches are! What are your favorite foods or dishes to make during the summer? We grill a lot which is fantastic, but I’m always looking for new things to try without heating up the house!
I find the seasons of Iowa to be fickle. During the summertime I get tired of “summertime food” and crave a cold day and a good casserole. During the cold winters, I just want to be able to eat a grilled burger! Well, recently between our normal grilling and camping, I was really tired of grilled food, so I threw a roast in the crock-pot for supper that day. The next day I decided to make some barbecue beef sandwiches, but plain old, run of the mill sandwiches held little appeal. I wanted something with a bit deeper, richer taste!
