It is Barnady's cativersary! Nine years ago I brou

It is Barnady's cativersary! Nine years ago I brought my furbeast home. I saw this pic working one day from Kitty Harbor and knew immediately I needed to bring him home.

Kitty Harbor was only open on the weekends so I had to wait a couple of days to go meet him. I was so scared someone else would adopt him before I got there. I prayed so hard he would still be there. And he was!

He was so sick when I brought him home. He had really bad conjunctivitis in both eyes and he was actually in a cage in the back so he wouldn't spread it to the other kitties.

When the lady took him out of the cage and put him in my arms he just buried his head in the crook of my elbow. She waived the adoption fee because he was so sick and miserable and just needed a good home and someone to love him.

They originally thought he was about 1-2 years old because of his size. He was the size of a normal full grown cat and about 7lbs. Turns out he was only about 6 months old and very much a kitten. Now he is about 15 lbs and very very fluffy and a huge cuddlebug. I can't imagine life without him. 🥰

This lady. She is my grandmother, Ann Centoscudi Rinke. Wife of Arthur Rinke. Mother of Bill, Wava, and George. Grandmother to me, Joseph, Ethan, Nic, Jon, Chloe, and Hannah Jo. Great Grandmother to 7 adorable kiddos.

Today she would have been 100 years old. She was taken from us too soon by cancer and unfortunately she was never able to meet her grandkids and great grandkids. But her legacy lives on through all of us.

Her twin sister, Mary is 100 years old today. Which is absolutely amazing to me. So, Happy Birthday grandma and Happy Birthday Cici Mary.

So if you saw my stories you know I was making a charcuterie board for dinner tonight with @rebbiash and our lovely Mamas. Well it ended up being a three board charcuterie board because I ALWAYS over estimate how much food is needed 😂.

My church, @bldg_28_church, just started a series

My church, @bldg_28_church, just started a series on Habakkuk last Sunday.

I had originally planned to do the Even If study of Habakkuk by @thedailygraceco a few months ago, when I was reading through Women of the Word by @jenwilkin.

After we were done with the book a handful of us gals from the book club decided to keep meeting and learn how to apply what we had read in Women of the Word and we ended up in the book of Haggai. And let me tell you, even though it was only two short chapters, there was so much good stuff to learn in Haggai.

And now I know why it wasn't the right time before to do the Even If study. Now quite a few ladies from BLDG28 are going through the study at the same time and even though all the women working through the study aren't meeting as a large group, it is so nice to know we are all doing this together.

And also thankful I have a couple of gals, @maggieseibertt and @inbloombakery_ to meet with to walk through this together in person. 💕

I got a very important package on Saturday! It was my coffee that I ordered from @ethosroasters! I legit love their coffee. ⁠
⁠
A very sweet lady from church brought me a bag of their Rio Coco blend, and I fell in love. She and I were chatting before service one day while greeting and got on the topic of coffee. Not hard for me to do seeing as I lived in the coffee capital, Seattle, for several years lol. She told me she would bring me some and brought me a whole bag of their coffee. I tried it a day or two later and was totally blown away.⁠
⁠
She had mentioned that they were local here to Florida and were located in Lakeland. So, of course, me being me, I looked them up and loved what I saw. ⁠
⁠
"Our passion for coffee is only surpassed by our passion for making a difference in the lives of small coffee farmers, championing life-changing prices for their most exquisite coffees. No large ‘Estate’ coffees, no plantations, no 10-cent “Fair-Trade” premiums, no underpaid and child labor - Greatness for us is not just taste, it's impact!"⁠
⁠
Seriously, go to their website and order some coffee, you will not be disappointed. Not only is it amazing coffee, but you are making an impact in the life of the coffee farmers that they source their beans from.⁠

Gotta say, working from home has it's fair share of lunchtime advantages. Like making a simple yummy lunch or cooking a fresh meal. Today though, cheese, meat, and crackers.

I went to @aldiusa last night to get some meat and cheeses, because 1) they have a great selection and 2) they are super affordable!!! I spent less than $40 and came home with a bag full of yummy goodies. Some are on this plate, but there is still more yummy goodness not pictured in this plate.

I know I should probably have some fruit on the plate, but it is Friday and eh, who cares 😂.

Seriously though I love a good cheese plate or charcuterie board and while this is by no means styled as pretty as a charcuterie board, it is just as yummy.

Aldi yummies:
- Havarti Dill Cheese
- Spreadable garlic and herb cheese
- New York white cheddar cheese
- Salame Italiano
- Garlic and chive pita crackers

Trader Joe's:
- Honey pale ale mustard (cannot recommend enough!)

Publix:
- Cabaret crackers
