Summer time means family reunions and today I’m going to one in Kansas that I haven’t been to in a dozen years. The picture above is from 8 or 9 years ago; this year will be at the same place.
I’m looking forward to seeing relatives I haven’t seen in a while and spending time with both my sisters.
Highlights
It was a busy and fun week. I got out of the house for one reason or another every day plus there was Amazon Prime Day.
Thursday night I had dinner and a movie with a new to me meetup group. Dinner was at a greek restaurant so I had greek salad with one chicken kebab. Then we saw Mamma Mia! Here We go Again.
Loved it!
I also had lunch out with a couple of coworker friends yesterday and enjoyed catching up.
On the food front, I had a good keto week. I made a mexican skillet recipe from Casey Trenum that was very good but forgot to take pictures. 🙁 I did take a picture of the kedough pizza recipe I used from Cooking Keto with Kristie. Best keto pizza I’ve made yet.
Other meals included steak and pork chops. Also enjoyed some meals I had frozen from previous recipes including sausage gravy and chili cheese muffins.

Looking Ahead
This week I’ve relocated my home office to my son’s home so I can spend time with him and his family before he deploys courtesy of the military. I’m looking forward to just enjoying time with them all.
Enjoy your trip – let’s get together once you’re back!
