$50 Your Way June 2026 Giveaway!
June 2026’s Giveaway! But first, here is my catch up from May. It was a weird month up here on the mountain. The last week or so we are back to 50 degrees, raining and cold. We had one night with a lightning storm the likes I’ve never seen before, Mother Nature put on a hell-of-a-show. We didn’t lose power, however all the breakers tripped.
Amazing, is that as loud and bright as the lightning was Walter slept through the entire thing.
Also, since I mentioned Sir Walter, 4 months old and he officially weighs 60.1 pounds. Oh HOLY MOLY! He’s a big boy.
Walter enjoyed his very first pup-cup. Happy, happy boy.
I hope you all had an excellent May. But, I sure hope that June is MUCH better.
Now for the real reason you are here.
Yes, I do copy and paste from here on in. What can I say, I’m basically lazy.

I sat on the porch with my dog Buddy to catch some cool breeze from the storm.
KATE SARSFIELD
Hooray! I’m being cautious, but I actually feel a wee bit better! Made an appt. for Loki & Bryn to get their annual check-ups, vax & parasite treatments. I’ll get parasite treatments to bring home for Melynn & Oreo. There’s no way I’d be able to get the 2 of them to the vet. Still not a peep from the plumber despite several emails, texts & voice mails.
Tamra Phelps
Glad you feel better! I think you might need a new plumber, lol.
heather
Just got home from a trip to the local library. It usually takes me about thirty minutes round trip but today it took over an hour. I asked the substitute librarian what time it was and she told me how to build a clock! Have you ever had that happen? When I got back in the car I thought I was missing time??????? lol
l p
the day is going well. it’s another beautiful sunny day here. had my virtual appointment and now I’m just about to go out for a long walk and do a few errands along the way before the evening clouds and rain arrive. we need the rain and it’s a gentle rain, I hope. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
Foggy day out there perfect for a long walk in the mist…Got out early and walked to the municipal compost dumpster and handled all my food scrap compost…then off to the soup kitchen to bring all the schedules printed out for the doctor and fare free clients…in return received a pile of new August and Sept appoinments to be made. why can’t all this be done thru texts and emails?? anyway then my friend took me for a coffee and a chat….have no idea what the rest of the day will bring…
Shelly Peterson
Today was a rough day. I came home from dialysis and took a long nap.
l p
the day is going well. got everthing on my list taken care of today. enjoy your day. thanks
Terri Quick
I got my campfire scented essential oil today for my diffuser. It really does smell like a bonfire in the Forrest.
KATE SARSFIELD
Didn’t get any sleep at all again. Just tossing & turning all night so got up at 7 & had breakfast outside listening to the birdsong. Back to bed and slept 6 hours but have been yawning all day & napped twice. Ho hum …
heather
I was up super early this morning and went outside and it was gently raining and that rain smell was heavenly. Just got in the door from doing some running around and now it’s time for a little break.
KATE SARSFIELD
Petrichor! Love it – you get used to it living in gthe West of Ireland!
heather
Hi Kate, thank you for sharing. I had never heard the word petrichor before just looked it up. There is nothing like it. I also love the smell of a freshly cut hay field at dusk in the summer.
KATE SARSFIELD
Oops! THE west of Ireland!
Michele Soyer
Have to scrap all my outside plans and patio plans it is pouring! raw and the sky is definitely not blue….well get out the vacuum do a quick turn then polish the furniture in the drawing room and thats it..
When we lived in T&T I started watching a Russian mini series Love in Chains…lost the stream but I found it here!! so after lunch going to sit down and watch a few episodes…
Shelly Peterson
Today we celebrated my son in laws birthday with the family.
l p
the day is going well. another beautiful day. spent the morning volunteering. tomorrow is bread-baking day and I have appointments as well so I’m doing everything I can to prepare things ahead so I can fit everything in – fingers crossed. enjoy your day. thanks
Terri Quick
Same 💩 different day here
heather
Hope everyone has a nice mellow Sunday. I am almost done with laundry just have one load left in the dryer. Thinking of making fettuccine alfredo for dinner with a nice salad.
KATE SARSFIELD
Well, I tidied as best I could & hoped for the best. Met Ed & Judy at the local hotel at 1pm and had a lovely lunch and catch-up. Haven’t seen them since Mum’s funeral in 2020. She’s well into her 90s & he turned 90 this last Feb. You honestly wouldn’t think it, they’re so fit (boringly fit, I can hear Mum say!). She has macular degeneration & is reduced to peripheral vision only so can’t drive but there’s not a pick on her (v. slim) or him for that matter. They loved the house and all the space I have and the huge garden.
Michele Soyer
Sitting here just enjoying coffee and the sun shining.. Plan on making a chore list for this week which includes washing down the walls on both patios and once again cleaning the outside windows.. every time the mower man comes it is the same thing but it gets me out and moving! Happy Sunday all….
Abby Bue
so far so good. my favorite movie series drops another episode today! can’t waitt!
BTW, happy new month everyone!
Shelly Peterson
Today was a really lazy day. I watched a lot of tv.
Michele Soyer
Been out for the better part of the day looking for a bathing suit and a cover up….nothing pleases me at all! LOL Wanted vintage halter type nothing…wound up back here and ordering one from Amazon…just what I was looking for…wound up also getting a few summer sun dresses …why do I bother to go to the shoppes?? anyway a quick change and out for a drink with my friend….
Tamra Phelps
Maybe I’m just lazy, lol. That could eexplain everything! I always seem to feel tired these days.
Terri Quick
I just got my mini furby from Amazon. It’s cute lol
l p
the day is going well. it’s an absolutely beautiful day here so I went for a long walk and sat in a park this morning. had tea with a friend along the way. enjoy your day. thanks
heather
Whoops – I ment to type filling up the feeders. I never see those misspellings until I hit enter!
heather
Just finished making hummingbird food and filing up all the feeders we have five of them. I wasn’t even done hanging up the feeders and a damn woodpecker was already out there attached to the bottom of one feeder with its claws sucking it dry! Is there any trick to keep the woodpeckers away? I need to Google that! Have a nice Saturday.
KATE SARSFIELD
I slept till 3pm, the house is a tip and I’m supposed to be going out for lunch tomorrow. I’ll get my clothes ready, do a little tidy up & vacuum and that’ll have to do. I hope I’m not infectious; the couple I’m meeting are both in their 90s, both very active but still …
l p
the day is going well. was volunteering today. the shift was supposed to be only a couple of hours but I was asked to stay longer to cover for people who were ill. looking forward to a quiet evening with neighbours. enjoy your day and week-end. thanks
Terri Quick
It’s very warm here already
heather
Happy Friday to all. Just got in the door from doing my BIG grocery shopping. I was shaking my head all the way home thinking I spend how much just for that? $$$$$$$$$$$$
Connie: The Head Peanut
RIGHT??? EVERY WEEK!! I think HOW did I spend so much?? THANK Heavens I don’t have kids at home any more. I can’t even imagine how much that would cost me.
KATE SARSFIELD
All I’ve done for nearly 3 days now is sleep, cough, take meds, eat icecream and sleep again. I’ve got visitors coming on Sunday & had a to-do list to tidy the whole house. Nothing done and no energy to do it.
Tamra Phelps
Don’t wear yourself out. Friends will understand that you haven’t felt able to tidy things up, lol.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I agree with Tamra. Just rest and feel better. The Husband is down for the count too. He is miserable. Both of you feel better quick.
KATE SARSFIELD
Oh Connie, much love to George xxx
Michele Soyer
Moving along today at a pretty good pace. Swept both patios, changed all the linens, dusted and polished one bedroom and the living room.. now off to do some re-potting.. not cooking today – sandwiches and then my book!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I have a ton of repotting to do. My poor plants. Michele you are amazing. I want that kind of energy.
Barbara Montag
Today so far so good!
Doing one of my fave things – volunteering!!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Excellent day Barbara!
Shelly Peterson
Didn’t have much going on today. I did have the grandkids for the day.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I miss grandkid days. Now at 17 and 15 they really aren’t into Nonnie days.
l p
the day is going well. out early to get some groceries on sale; lunch with a friend; deep-cleaning the kitchen is taking longer than anticipated but will be worth it in the long run. enjoy your day. thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
Nope, no deep cleaning for me today. A sick husband takes every ounce of my energy. BLAH!! You know those MAN colds.
Tamra Phelps
Oh, yes, Connie, I saw the squirrel, lol!! Is that Sneaky Squirrel? I wonder what he will make of Walter! He could be Walter’s nemesis!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Wouldn’t that be FUNNY!??? Maybe Walter could finally keep Sneaky Squirrel outta the bird feeder?!
Terri Quick
I’m doing ok, I guess
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhh Terri, I hope tomorrow is MUCH better!!!
KATE SARSFIELD
Still got a really sore throat. Icecream certainly helps but I feel ugh …
Tamra Phelps
Take care, Kate. Lately, it does seem like one thing afer another, right???
KATE SARSFIELD
So fed up with it all!
Michele Soyer
Kate please take care – meds and lots of ice cream!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I agree. Take care. Eat ice cream. stay in bed.
heather
Just got in the door from making a quick trip to the rural local market where everything costs ten times what it does in town. Sure is heating up out there 82 degrees today. I am staying inside and doing some work.
Connie: The Head Peanut
It’s still cold up here. I am ready for some warm days.
Shelly Peterson
today I had dialysis and then the grandkids came over.
Terri Quick
Today is my birthday. I’m officially past 50 lol
heather
Hope you had a nice birthday! Hey it’s your birthday week so party on!!!!
KATE SARSFIELD
Happy Birthday, Terri xxx
Connie: The Head Peanut
Late Happy Birthday Terri!
l p
the day is going well. busy morning with ‘stuff’. somehow the stuff just eats up all my time. looking forward to dinner with friends. thanks
heather
Just got in the door from a quick run to town and boy gotta say… it wasn’t that pleasant out there today. The clerk at the grocery store had a serious attitude problem and then on the way home some nut job passed the car behind me and me on a blind corner with a car coming and I was doing the speed limit. Just happy to have made it home in one piece!
Tamra Phelps
Holy Moses! Some days you feel like you should’ve just stayed home, right??
KATE SARSFIELD
Now I’ve got a sore throat – what next? Was awake all night again, popped out for over the counter stuff for my throat, then slept for 6 hours. I’ve no appetite at all, it’s pouring down outside and I’ve had to turn the water off. Heather kindly sent me a YouTube link that might fix the toilet but it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Just no energy today.
heather
Hi Kate, sure hope you feel better soon and hope the video helps.
Laurie Nykaza
Working in the garden today planting lots of flowers.
Shelly Peterson
Today I went for coffee with my sister and niece.
Ed
Had a good day. Went to one of my daughter’s band concert this evening.
l p
the day is going well. did some volunteering this morning then spent the afternoon attending appointments and delivering yestereday’s baking. nice to have a quieter evening. enjoy your day. thanks
Natalie
I had a good day at work and walked my dog in gorgeous weather afterward!
Terri Quick
I’m so tired of going to doctors who don’t really listen to their patients. I think I might have to start playing Miss Naughty instead of Miss Nice with them lol!
heather
Just got home from a trip to the local library. I donated some books and picked up some new ones to read. The form is not resetting for me today a few options did but not the usual daily ones.
Elaine G
Happy june!!
My day is going good so far. Sun is out and was out in the garden earlier
KATE SARSFIELD
HELP!!! My toilet has started to flush itself, refill & flush again and again … left another message with the plumber … other than that, all I’ve done today is sleep.
heather
Hi Kate, not sure how the toilets are set up in Ireland but I thought this Youtube video may help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHaT-W-aEKI
I recently fixed a plumbing issue here and we called and cancelled the plumber from coming out and charging us $200.00 $$$$$$$$$$$$ just for the travel time! Hope the video help you sometimes those videos on YT come in handy and I always learn something new. God Bless.
KATE SARSFIELD
Gosh, thanks Heather! I’ve renovated my house via YT! Will give this a go when I’m feeling a bit better.
Tamra Phelps
June??? How did we get here so fast??? I hope Alice had a great birthday, Connie. I spent three hours waiting for my return ride at the doctor’s office, so I was not a happy camper, lol.
KATE SARSFIELD
3 hours? I hope you’ve got more patience than I have. I’d be swearing like a pirate and causing ructions!
heather
Tamra, oh my goodness, I would have to be sedated if this happened to me! lol Ticked me off just reading about it! Hope it doesn’t ever happen again to you.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Tamra!! How did you miss the SQUIRREL?!? I thought for certain you would catch the squirrel on the giveaway widget!!! Tsk Tsk.
Terri Quick
It’s been a pretty frustrating day here
heather
Happy June to everyone hope it’s a good one. Happy birthday to Alice! I so love seeing pictures of Walter makes me smile every time.
Shannon Mitchell
Happy Monday to all.
Happy 15th birthday to Alice!!
Elizabeth
Long morning already, might eat something before I try to run errands…
l p
the day is going well. welcome June. it’s bread-baking day so I’m busy but loving it. enjoy your day and month. thanks
KATE SARSFIELD
Happy June everyone! Yesterday it dawned on me that I must own hundreds (well, lots) of plantpots and as they’re recyclable I’ve started to wash every single one of them. Done 120 so far! Today, I’m sweeping the path round the house, feeding the strawberries and tidying one room.
Ms
good
Shelly Peterson
It’s back to Monday and back to dialysis I go. Happy Birthday to Alice!
