We've finally arrived at the last Friday in July. I'm ready to turn the calendar page! Meanwhile, here are a few favorites from the last week. I'm sharing with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story.
1. Dinner with the family. Jesse's car tag was delivered to our house, so he came over Saturday night to pick it up and have dinner. We asked Jason, Mittu, and Timothy if they wanted to come, too. Then something we ordered for Jason's birthday a couple of weeks ago was finally delivered, so we were able to give that to him as well. We enjoyed the time together and even got in a couple of games before everyone left.
In the "not exactly a fave but kind of meh" category, I made these Zucchini Cookies for dessert. I was excited because the recipe only used five ingredients and they were all healthy (except maybe the chocolate): peanut butter, oatmeal, zucchini, banana, and chocolate chips. They didn't spread out like cookies usually do, so the first batch remained in a ball shape and were still mushy in the center. I flattened some and cut others in half and put them back in for a few minutes. They were. . . just okay. They tasted a little too banana-y at first, but not so much after a few days. I'm wondering if I could use less banana and more of one of the other ingredients. What do you think? I know some of you are great at adjusting recipes.
2. A sweet text. Mittu texted Sunday afternoon to ask if they could come over because Timothy said he hadn't gotten enough time with us the night before. Nothing warms a grandparent's heart more than hearing their grandchild wants to spend time with them.
3. Lunch with Melanie. We usually get together once a month or so, but missed the last couple for various reasons. It was good to catch up and discuss all the world's problems. 
We used gift cards to Red Lobster.
4. A much-needed haircut. I was debating with myself whether to get my hair cut after lunch with Melanie, and I'm glad I decided to take care of that while I was out.
5. More gifts of produce from our neighbor and a man at church.
Anything exciting happen with you this week?
