SammaSpot Snapshot: August 4, 2026

HOW did it get to be August my Peeps???  We are still in the midst of the DOG Days of Summer around here and have been spending some time in the pool every day. 


Rouxby Sue is just chilling while she dries from her morning swim.   

I was just doing chores and stuff around the house and we got a message to join several neighbors at our local pizza place, Tony's Pizza & Pour House.  Thankfully I had washed and dried my hair, so a quick change of clothes was all I needed.



Saturday, the Hubster went up to the deer lease to do a little mowing and install his new AC unit for his shed so the dogs and I stayed home and hung out and did some swimming.  Later that evening we went to the neighbors for some grilled burgers and tater tots.  I ordered some Insomnia Cookies to be delivered at their house for dessert.   

Sunday after we got a few chores around the house done we headed out for a bunch of little errands. 

I was also wearing my trusty silver Birkenstock sandals

After we finished running some errands my two day craving for French fries won and we stopped at BoomerJacks on the way home.  They definitely hit the spot.  

Monday brought the usual laundry, house tidying and pool time.  We had a super yummy dinner that I totally forgot to grab a picture of.  Grilled pork chops, roasted potatoes and roasted green beans.  Delish!

Later after dinner was all cleaned up, I noticed the birds were especially active in the backyard so I grabbed a snack and sat on the porch to watch them. 

If you haven't tried the Shameless Snacks yet, you don't know what you're missing!
They are so yummy but get this....only 3 grams of sugar and 26...yes, 26 grams of fiber!!  I'm a personal fan of the super sour flavor, they aren't super sour but just a little sour and so yummy, hard to believe it's the candy snack that is kind of good for you.  

Today was another day of getting some things done around the house, a little bit of pool time because we are going to be taking a quick little trip starting Thursday so I've got a lot to get done.


Since we are trying not to have leftovers we had the Southwest Tomato Soup I had in the refrigerator.
Sadly, that'll be the last of it for awhile because it's too hot for the tomatoes to set so our cherry tomato supply has definitely dried up.


We also had grilled cheese sandwiches with the last 4 slices of bread and some more of that yummy white American cheese from Central Market.

We have a 5:10 am flight Thursday morning....YES, 5 in the morning people.  Believe me, we've had the discussion of whether it's even worth going to bed to only have to get up at 2 am to get ready to leave for the airport.  We're flying stand-by so cross your fingers and pray the flight gods are with us.  We leave Thursday and will be back around lunch on Monday.   You'll just have to wait and see where we end up, you can never tell when you decide to fly standby!

With all that said, you most likely won't hear from me until Tuesday or Wednesday but hopefully I'll remember to take outfit pics!

Let's do our wrap up because my pups need their night time yogurt snack and we are trying to go to bed early so tomorrow night won't be so bad.

Reading:    I'm still reading A Cyclist's Guide to Villians & Vines and tomorrow I have to download a couple of books since it's about a 7 hour plane ride to our destination.

And before you ask, no I'm still not finished with that gosh dang The Goldfinch.

Watching:  We are waiting on The Lioness to get a few more episodes in before we start watching.  Other than that it's just America's Got Talent, The Great Food Truck Race and Alone.  Pretty slow TV times. 

That's all I got for you today- see you next week!
Peace, Love, & Shameless Snacks

August Young Living special


Hey Peeps!

I'm popping in on a Saturday morning to show you a new special while supplies last from Young Living.   I know the outside feels like a sauna but Fall will be here soon and we're in for all the coziness that it brings.    There's a starter bundle promo going on that's a fantastic deal.

This bundle includes: 

  • Orange essential oil, 15 ml

  • Nutmeg essential oil, 5 ml

  • Christmas Spirit™ essential oil blend, 5 ml

  • Vanilla oleoresin, 5 ml

  • Clove essential oil, 15 ml

  • Bergamot essential oil, 15 ml

  • Thieves® Cleaner, 14.4 oz. 

  • FreshStart™ Diffuser

  • All of that for $129 dollars!  You are saving over $55 by bundling these items and it contains 2 of my favorite products: Thieves cleaner and the Christmas Spirit oil.   I use the Thieves cleaner daily and the Christmas spirit starts going in my diffusers about mid November and runs all the way through the New Year! 

    That's all for today, but this bundle is while supplies last so don't delay, it's a great way to get your home cozy ready in the best non-toxic way possible.
