On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.
Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I am at Lake Anna - the lone girl with ten guys and two male dogs. We're having a big time, as my grandmom would say. Here are some other favorites from the week.
1. Quest BBQ Protein Chips
Since I've got two college athletes living with me this summer there is a big focus in this house on weight lifting, hitting, pitching and catching drills, and eating all the protein in the whole wide world. What is interesting is I have found that perimenopausal women and 19 year old baseball players have some of the same health goals. Who woulda thunk it? While you will not see me trying to throw a 95 mile per hour fast ball or hit one, I am trying to prioritize weight lifting and protein. So the boys and I have been really into these Quest Protein Chips and we agree that the BBQ flavor is the best. There are 19 grams of protein in one little bag and they are amazing. Granted these shouldn't be our main focus for protein, but man cannot live on grilled chicken alone.
2. Towel Bands
I've had nary a care in the world at Lake Anna this week. EXCEPT there was the absolute tragedy that my towel would not stay put on my chair while I was trying to relax on the dock.
I know. #firstworldproblem, but I found these towel bands that hold your towel still. Whew. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit when their towels get all bunched up on their vacations.
3. Striped Wide Leg Pants
It's possible that I will never wear pants with a button and a zipper again in my live-long life. I'm not sure if I should be sad about this new development or not, but it is what it is. I haven't made this purchase (yet) so I can't vouche for the quality, but goodness, are these striped wide leg pants cute. They come in this blue/white, green/white, red/white and blue/yellow stripes.
4. Pink Skies by Zach Bryan
This new song from Zach Bryan is so beautiful. My goodness, can that guy write a song or what?
5. Pink Skies at Lake Anna
I don't often feel my mom's presence. I suppose it's because I keep myself so distracted. To feel her presence without really seeing her face is still too painful to process. I'd rather imagine she's on vacation some where for awhile. At Lake Anna it's easier to feel her whether I want to or not. She loved it here and Zach Bryan's Pink Skies lyrics came to me so many times this week. She would have loved being with Dad and Steve and all the boys and their friends this week.
Yes, Mom, they do got a lot of young blood left in 'em and plenty of nights under pink skies you taught them to enjoy.
We miss you.
Have a blessed weekend, friends. I wish you many pink skies.

I have seen those towel bands a couple of times over the last few days. They are a genius idea!
It is nice that you are feeling your mom near you. Sending love and hugs.
