Random thoughts on a rainy Saturday morning:
1. One more sleep until September. Can you believe I just typed that? Are you asking yourself the same question I am? WHERE DID SUMMER GO?
2. Last night was our first football game. It was 72 degrees yesterday in Texas under those Friday Night Lights.
It’s a football miracle.
3. All of my family came in to see the twins on the football field. Westerbess was on the 45-yard line as a varsity cheerleader and Whit was second from the end in the kick line in the varsity drill team on the field.
I could see their smiles up all the way up in the stand.
4. It was a good week on the blog. We talked about my favorite chair and how it’s on sale right now and my before and after crackled farmhouse table and how to make a brick path even cuter and what happens when you can’t un-stink the stink.
5. And in 2009 news, I just started playing Words With Friends again.
Did you know that kamotiq is a seven letter word that ends with Q?
Just in case you needed to throw it down on your next game.
And now?

Lots of cool stuff on this post!! I’m trying the diy vase for sure!! Love it! Have a wonderful holiday weekend with your family🌞
Thanks for sharing my tablescape! @homewithhollyj
I know those young Thistles are just too cute! I hope you didn't bust any buttons off your shirt, Mom
Ooh, I didn't know about the Little Women re-make! I had to share the trailer with my daughter. I'm a big fan of the Winona Rider version but my daughter and I also enjoyed the recent PBS version. Looks like a movie is in our future ... well, for me, two movies .... because Downton!
I wonder if small pompoms might fit into those acorn lids. May have a step!
So much to see and always enjoy. I have three separately made movies of "Little Women" made in different years and so far they have done a good remake can't wait to see this one. Downton Abbey, i can not wait for this either i loved that series and all the people in it, so good. Thanks for another wonderful Thistlekeeping.
KariAnne, thank you for sharing my post this week! You are so kind and generous with your talents! So many great projects and blogs to check out here! Hope your weekend was great!
Love your weekly summaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can not believe it is in the 70's in Texas. Bet everyone enjoyed watching the twins (and of course the football game)!!!! We are working in California and it is 104 right now;(. Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am addicted to Words with Friends!!! Lol
I don't know where to start, .from the shot of the rustic table in the woods, to those adorable felted acorns! I can't even!! Love, love!!! xoxo
