Fab Friday Faves 8.30.19

Hello and happy Friday all!  Happy birthday to my lovely Mother-in-law today!  It's a bit of a scary Friday, for pretty much all of Florida right now, as we have a hurricane coming, and not much of an exact idea where.  Hoping it weakens and ends up being not as bad as they are saying.  We are on the opposite coast from landfall but it's looking like it could be still a cat 1 when it gets here.  Lets hope not.  Regardless, we will be taking everything out of the backyard tomorrow so nothing gets destroyed and we don't lose any windows.
other than that, not much is new from the last couple weeks.  We currently have 4 foster bunnies, as Thomas and Oreo are now back.  they house seems to be getting smaller but it is nice to have them all here.  Smudge is thrilled too haha.
Everyone have a safe weekend in Florida and a great weekend everywhere else!

On Saturday Josh and I went to Busch Gardens for Bierfest.  We wandered around some areas that we hadn't been before and found some new animals and fun stuff.  Josh went on the Montu ride, I did not! It was a good time but insanely hot, we only lasted a few hours. 

Josh stopped to get some cupcakes from my favorite place, Small Cakes in Oldsmar.  I have been wanting to try the Dunkaroos one for a long time and it was delicious, but they all were! 

Nail day was a couple days ago!  I'm slowly transitioning to some fall colors, even though it willl be months before it is fall here. 

A couple weeks ago, we went to the Mid Florida Credit Union Amphitheater for Heart, Joan Jett and Elle King. It was such a great show and the venue is awesome.  Elle King was way better than expected and Heart can still rock! 

I found a Spoonbill out at Honeymoon the other day.  It was my first that I have seen out there.  I love these birds!

Hello everyone and happy rainy Friday from Florida.  It has actually been raining since monday, we are at 7 inches as of a few minutes ago.  I have cabin fever, but the temperatures have been cooler so I can't complain too much! We are in the heart of rainy season so I may as well get used to it, as long as those pesky hurricanes stay away. I just realized that I didn't blog last week, I had every intention of doing so, not sure what happened, but I really didn't have much to write about anyway.
I also realized that I haven't written anything since I said that Juju and Pat were headed to their forever home.  After a long road trip for them (and us too), and even dropping them off, we were told that the new owner was unable to take them.  So, they are back here now, which I am very happy with, but I felt bad because they were so terrified after their 3 hours in a vehicle.
We had a new alarm system installed this week, that was probably most of my excitement. It includes a camera for our driveway and front door.  I'm not sure why I have been getting amusement out of going back and watching people go by our house.
We are also sad this week, we lost another member of the family from Maine.  We will miss you Bud.

As most of your probably saw on Facebook or Instagram, we went to Orlando to visit Chad and Chrissy and the kids last weekend.  We went to Disney Springs and wandered around there, ate some good food and took in the sights.  Its a really nice place, free and beautiful for a walk on a hot day because there are lots of stores to duck into at anytime.  On Sunday we went to downtown Orlando, to Lake Eola and walked around the lake in the scorching heat.  But it was really nice with a great little farmer's market. 

One of my favorite Saskatchewan Jewelry creators Transformed Jewelry had a sale on her Prairie Lily (saskatchewan's provincial flower) jewelry on Saskatchewan Day so I finally pulled the trigger and bought one of her necklaces.  All of her work is made from broken pottery and dishes and this necklace is beautiful.  Checkout her Etsy shop, there are a lot more pieces that I would love! 

We had this beauty Red Shouldered Hawk visiting us in the backyard yesterday.  I hope she was hunting rats but she was just  mostly keeping an eye on us. 

I got these shoes on clearance at Target last week for $7, down from $30.  I have wanted a pair like this for ages so I couldn't resist. 

I went to the mall yesterday, to check out the last days of Charming Charlie and to walk around, since it has been pouring here all week.  I stumbled upon a candy store and had to get some of my favorite childhood candy.   The Bottle Caps are still the same but the Candy Smokes are not nearly as good!

The final episode of one of my favorite shows, Elementary, aired this week.  I have watched this from the start and am very sad to say goodbye.  I actually am 3 episodes behind because I am trying to make it last a little bit longer. I would love if Netflix or Prime picked it up but after 7 seasons I doubt that will happen.

Fab Friday Faves 8.2.19

Hello and happy Friday everyone!

First I would like to send my love and prayers back to Maine, to Josh's family for the loss of a very special man and uncle, tragically, on Wednesday.

It has been a long couple weeks since I last posted, and honestly I haven't been feeling great and haven't been up to much as you'll be able to tell from my five. Smudge, the bunnies and I have been hanging out inside for the most part, it has been either hot or storming here, as per Florida summer. Speaking of the bunnies, we found out yesterday that Pat and Juju have found their forever home and will be headed there sometime this weekend.  I am sad to see them go because  they are really starting to open up to me and are so sweet, but I am happy that they have found a home that can continue to give them the love and attention that they need.  Look at these adorable faces!

We had our solar panels installed this week which is cool, I felt so bad for the guys doing it, up on our roof on the hottest day for like, 11 hours.

We don't have much for plans this weekend, there is some yard work that really needs to be done, but I do hope we can get out for a bit, I'm feeling pretty cooped up!

Everyone have a great weekend, and Canada, have a great long weekend (and Saskatchewan Day) I'm jealous!

This week I had nail day. I actually made it a month with out my last set getting chipped or really rough looking with the dip, so I got it again.  They are so pretty and a lot more ombre than they look in the picture.

I love trying new flavors of waters, and La Croix just came out with Hi-Biscus.  It is delicious and a nice change.

Josh and I went to the Got Lobstah? Food truck at two Lions Winery in Palm Harbor on the weekend.  It has been so long since I had a warm butter lobster roll (I prefer them over the mayo style) and it was soooo good.  Apparently everyone else in Palm Harbor (made up of mostly people from the north) thought so too, because they sold out in a couple hours.

My new doormat from Zulily came this week.  How cute is it?

I got a couple packs of these samples of True Lemon at an event we went to this weekend and I am in love.  I have never tried them before and I especially love the packs that are a slice of lemon, grapefruit or lime.  They taste exactly like a wedge in your drink without that fake sugar taste of a lot of a lot of the water enhancers out there.
