Good morning, Kittens and Dawgs! I’m taking things slow in Blogosphere, not quite so quick to push my posts live. There are a lot of folks skipping the whole bloggy thing inleu of doing the whole summer thingies like vacations and a variety of activities that keep them outdoors instead of inside all the time. That’s purrrfectly fine. We all need time away doin’ our thang to get our mojo back in order to bring our A-game to blogging community.

We tried two new pizzerias in town. Actually, they aren’t new but this was our first experience with these long running establishments — Little Joe’s Pizza in Farragut and Harby’s Pizza & Deli just off Broadway. I really wanted these places to wow me but the best I can say is their good for a change and we’ll probably get pizza from these places again. However, neither one can replace our favorite, Pizza Hut! How was your weekend?

Here’s a random Monday morning photo share. 🙂

July is the most popular summer tourist month. Last year the Smoky’s got about 11.3 million visitors to the park, not all in July, but once I read that the park gets more than a million visitors during its peak month. It’s generally a nuthouse this time of the year. I snapped this photo of a vintage camping trailer at Water Rock Knob overlook (about 45 minutes north of Cherokee, NC) on the Blue Ridge Parkway last month, which totally depicted the season that we are enjoying.

This week’s mewsic theme is ‘your choice‘. I put together a 5 newly introduced or stumbled-upon tunes for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy my song selections!

#2 on my playlist…DD#2 introduced to us In March when she came home for my FIL funeral. We took her and DS to dinner. On our way home, she shared this song from her iTunes playlist. It’s great fun when our kids share their mewsical discoveries. All the others selections I stumbled upon in recent days or months usually from my YT browsing. What did you think of my mewsic selections? Are these new-to-you? Do you like any of these well enough to buy?

Colette is experiencing eye problems and isn’t actively co-hosting but you might find her boogieing with us occasionally. I asked that you continue to keep her in prayer. Right now, I want you join fellow co-hosts: XmasDolly (Party Coordinator), Stacy, Alana, and this month’s co-host, Michelle, on the dance floor (ONLY link mewsic posts). Let’s get this party started!
