Share Four Somethings August 2025

August was another busy month. I have no idea what really happened. We are starting to have more fall weather days and I am still not quite ready for fall/winter weather. I would love some more warm sunny days. Our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up are some things we loved, somethings we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. We are linking up with Jennifer! 

Something Loved 

Matt and I took several hikes this month, mainly to see waterfalls. If interested you can see all the pictures here and here. I have been more consistently walking and exercising this month, and I love that I am so close to hitting my goal for this month of 300,000 steps. Hopefully tomorrow. As I type this I only need 2.987 steps, and Matt and I hope/plan to do another long walk/hike tomorrow morning, which should take care of those last steps!!

MY NEPHEW IS NOW CANCER FREE, praise God! He is 22 and we are praying that he will bounce back quickly, getting his energy back and stuff.

The first two pictures are from our Stanford Trailhead and Brandywine Falls hike at Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

  

The next three are from our Blue Hen Falls Hike at the same National Park.

Something Learned

Well, this month this prompt is the one I am blanking on. Make no mistake, I am SURE I learned things this month, but apparently they didn't stick 😂😂

Something That Went Well

Our dining room benches have been splitting, probably since we moved into this house, if not before. Earlier this year when Joanne's was going out of business, I bought fabric so they could be redone. My husband completed that project his month! But, not only did he redo the benches with new fabric and padding, he also painted them, and the table, and sealed them as well. They should last at least another 14 years (which is how long we have had the table and benches). Don't ask me why I didn't take better pictures of before and after, including the table, it was a busy/distracted month.  I did several blog posts for this month as well, which is closer to my goal, but not quite there.

 

  

Something I Let Go Of

I am still letting go of books. Some once they are read, one that I decided I didn't want to read. I have also been letting go of books from my virtual TBR. 

"To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Philippians 4:20

 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
