TGIF friends! October has really flown by, and we are having the best weather here in Texas this week. We are finally cooling off a little, and it is so refreshing. I really don't mind if it hits the 80's in the afternoon as long as I can have chilly temperatures in the morning and evening. And by chilly, I mean anything below 70! Here's a look at some favorite moments and things from the last week.
We are making an effort to get out and about a little more often. It is very tempting to veg out on the couch as an empty nester! Last week, there was an 80's/90's band playing at our shopping area so we went to check it out. It was lots of fun with a cool breeze and lots of our old favorite songs. Looking at this picture, I see #goals with the couple's chairs in front of us.
We had dinner at Torchy's Tacos. Their queso is always a winner.
This is not the best picture, but it is documentation that we went to the high school football game Friday night. Our niece is a senior in marching band, so we have gone to a few games to watch halftime (and the game.)
On Saturday, we took Albie to Petsmart. He has been getting even more neurotic and afraid in certain situations, so I thought it would be good for him to practice walking around in a public place. He did a great job.
Our patio is back - open for business! I just love this time of year with cooler temperatures, fewer mosquitoes, soft sunlight spilling through the trees, and relaxing time on the patio. I may complain about the heat here in Texas for the summer months, but the rest of the year is pretty spectacular!
Here are a few things I've been listening to...
This "luxury hotel" Spotify station kept popping up on my Instagram ads so I had to check it out. It is a nice instrumental channel to have in the background, and yes it does feel like a luxury hotel lobby!
I am waiting for the book The Whalebone Theatre to arrive at my library. In the meantime, I am enjoying this playlist of old songs that goes with the book. This book is part of a joint book club between Read with Jenna and the Queen Consort's Reading Room.
Erin at Simple Purposeful Living put together a fun fall playlist on Amazon Music.
Instagram ads made me do it...again! I downloaded this fun (free) app called Hi Note. It has all kinds of templates for texts or invitations. I love the monograms!
And one more fave...
I am kind of addicted to Vick's...ha, ha. I always put a little under my nose before bed and it really helps my breathing. I also find that it helps if I have a headache. But what to do when I travel? I just picked up this solid Vapostick to put in my travel bag. Have you seen it?
I bought it at the grocery store, and they only have a twin pack on Amazon.

Remember my Luxury for Less Gift Guide?
I snagged these satin pajamas as a gift for myself and love them!
In Case You Missed It...
Have a wonderful weekend!
Fun recommendations! We have been going to the high school football games for halftime too. Gabbie dances with the band!
ReplyDeleteI need to check out that luxury hotel playlist! The ad that keeps popping up on my Instagram for Spotify is City Jazz...so I tried it out yesterday. I loved it! I guess they know my taste pretty well by now. Ha! I love that you're making an effort to getting out and about more. I'm sure it is so tempting just to stay home all the time! Good for you both. Have a great weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the City Jazz. Have a good weekend. :)
DeleteI wish they had that Vick's stick all along and I love that you don't have to get your hands sticky. It looks like you had a great week and enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh Torchys!! How I wish we had one of those here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week!! And Hi Note sounds amazing!! I've never heard of that before. I'm promptly downloading it and can't wait to use it. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine living in the TX heat! Glad you're getting some pleasant weather!
ReplyDeleteWe are loving the cooler temps in GA! I am loving being on the back deck!!
ReplyDeleteYour back patio is goals! (As are those chairs at the out door concert haha...those are super cute) I need to get the Vick's stick. That's definitely something we use in the winter. I hope you've had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYay for cooler weather! I have downloaded that app and will check it out.
