What I Accomplished so far in July

For most awhile now, I’ve had blog posts to share on the first two Mondays of each month thanks to link ups I take part in, but when it comes to the rest of the month, I feel at a loss. I know a lot of people share weekend wrap ups on Mondays, but my weekends are honestly not that exciting! Plus, I like to blog ahead and sharing a weekend would mean having to work on a post on Sunday night. Another idea I had was to move my occasional Tuesday book posts to Mondays. Thoughts on any of this? Let me know. Anyway, a post idea I had is to share the things I’ve accomplished over the past two weeks and today I’m going to share what I have accomplished so far in July.

Random Friday Things – Dog Visitors and Ankle Happenings

I haven’t written a random Friday things update in awhile! I usually use them to write about dogs and life updates, so that’s what I have for you today too.

Israel Trip Part 3 – Yom Yerushalyim and Nova Memorial

When I left off last time, we had spent our first day at a hotel in Jerusalem. I had a wheelchair with me and was fully dependent on my family to get me around. Our first full day at the hotel was Yom Yerushalyim, a day that celebrates the reunification of Jerusalem after the 6 day war. That morning, my family went to a special prayer service at an overlook of the city, and when they got back at 10 am I was still sound asleep!

10 on the 10th – July

Today I’m linking up with Marsha for the 10 on the 10th link up. This month she has given us a prompt – 10 Special Summer Memories. I can probably list 10 memories from my childhood day camp – have I ever talked about that here? I loved it there and was thinking how amazing it would have been if it had been a sleepaway camp. It wasn’t, but it was still so much fun.

A Day In The Life, Summer Edition

Welcome to the Share Our Lives link up hosted by myself, Adrienne, Jen, Joanne, and Sarah! We are sharing our lives this year on the second Monday of each month, and this month’s prompt is a day in the life, summer edition. I know everyone loves a good day in the life post, but for one thing, my life is pretty boring, and for another, I decided to stop choosing a specific day to write about after something bad always seemed to happen on whatever day I’d choose! So this is just a run down of what a normal day in my life is like – right now.
