August already?






Well Hello August!


It doesn't seem as if it should be August already!  Time to slow down and mosey along, enjoying the summer and all that it has to offer.



This Clematis vine has given me these beautiful flowers to enjoy.  






What a beauty.
It's perfect!



I just love the color...



Aeon 6 months / 27weeks

It's getting close to almost a month since my last post on our boy Aeon.  The joy of this dog's life is usually seen in his smile(which I am sure he does) and the look of satisfaction on his face.  Especially when he gets what he wants and to just be a dog.  After taking him for his weekly visit to PetSmart, Aeon had a bath and a brushing, so I couldn't resist a few photos to capture his handsome face, and beautiful coat.  He's still getting bigger and more handsome by the day.  He weighed 68.2 lbs last week, and after this week's weigh in on sunday he is 70.2.  He's been gaining about 3-4 lbs per week so we were surprised he was only up by two.  But wow, 70 lbs now, maybe he is going to slow down now?  There's just more of him to love, and I do, I do!

That's a precious face!  

Aeon likes to stand up here and look out from our deck.

Seeing something of interest over there!

Nice stance!

He's so cute and I think he knows it!


"Mommy said something about the 4th of July and treats, there better be a few for this pose!"


I was told about this frozen dog treat and got some for Aeon...

Aeon enjoying his 'Frosty Paws' frozen treat!  He licked the bowl clean!


On our way to PetSmart!  Aeon is excited now when he goes in the car!  

Enjoying the ride.

Aeon got new toys too!  





Keeping the new toys close by!


Big puppy love!...

~ Tammy's Tip Today ~ Toasty Tips



I'd like to make a toast...



Here are a couple of toasty tips that will make you the toast of the kitchen!  

Someone suggests turning the toaster on its side, place bread slice with cheese on top into slot, then toast it.
Another way to make a grilled cheese sandwich!  Especially for those that do not have a toaster oven, and also no need for a pan or butter like a usual grilled cheese sandwich.
Hmmm, I'm thinking you would want to be on the alert for your toasted cheese slice to pop out... might want to have a plate ready or a catchers mitt?  And, you shouldn't leave this unattended and definitely wouldn't want the cheese to burn, or worse catch fire!  Geez, take caution and be careful if trying this one!

I really like this one.
Sounds like my kind of BLT sandwich!




A toast to toast!...

Local movie making!


Locals are star struck with the sight of movie star Adam Sandler here in Buford, GA to make his latest movie!  This location is right around the corner from a couple of restaurants that we like to go to!


"Actor Adam Sandler waves to a small crowed of people watching as crews film the movie "Blended" on W. Shadburn Avenue in downtown Buford Tuesday. The movie, scheduled for release in May 2014, stars Sandler and Drew Barrymore."

Perhaps we will see some familiar sites in the scenes of the movie!...

Jewelry by Tammy ~ Black and Gold sets


A few of my favorites from the past that I had not shared.  Although some were a little more time consuming to create, I really like the end result. 

Black and gold looks nice together if you ask me.  It's one of my favorite combinations.
