Howdy friends! It’s time for Farmhouse Friday 409, and I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. I can hardly believe August is already here. Summer is coming to a close, and people are preparing for school. I’m not. I am about to take a little vacation because our kids are adulting. I don’t miss the back-to-school shopping, getting up at the crack of black, or homework. Nope, not one bit. Just like having kids, it’s for the younger people.
If you missed my last two posts, here they are below.
Beautiful Autumn Party Food Display Ideas
Doesn’t that look perfectly festive and fabulous for a birthday brunch?! Why yes, yes it does. My birthday is next month and I celebrate the entire 30 days. I hope for your sake, you do too. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about my party and looked up Beautiful Autumn Party Food Display Ideas and found some great options. Check them out!
Consider The Everyday Table Centerpiece
Have you heard people saying we should romanticize our lives? My new friend does. Do you? I’d love to know! Tell me in the comments in this post – Consider The Everyday Table Centerpiece.
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 409
Our feature theme this week is Summer Delights. We have to have something refreshing or delicious to help us get through August! 😉
I think this would cool me down real quick! Cindy from Seasonal and Holiday Recipe Exchange shares just how she made this goodness-in-a-glass. Pop over, get your ingredients and pin it! Mmmmm.
This has my mouth watering! Gina from Yummi Haus shows off her grilling skills with Greek Chicken Kabobs. I love a good kabob. Hurry and try this recipe before grilling season is over. Your tastebuds will thank you!
Lois from Walking on Sunshine knows how to party and knows how to keep the prep work easy as well! I can tell serving these fun Fruit Charcuterie Cups will be a big hit. Such a great idea!
Rounding out our summer delight features is a dessert that sounds as addicting as the drink! Ann’s Entitled Life shares her recipe for Pina Colada Cupcakes. Yes, please. I’ll take two! And the drink to go with it!

I totally understand that! I remember counting the days until their next break BEFORE they even went back to school! Enjoy your weekend as well. Thanks Shelley.
Hi Cindy, Thank you for hosting the link party. I am glad to be connected here. Summers are enjoyable. Have a fantastic weekend. Cheers.

Yay Megha, I’m so glad you found us! Thank you for linking up. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
The funny thing for me is I get up earlier now than when my kids were home. I just naturally wake up early in my old age. What I really don’t miss is all the chauffeuring. Glad those days are over. Thanks for the party.

That’s funny Amy. I feel more busy than I was when they were in school. I like staying up (very late) and getting up late. But I miss the chauffeuring! LOL. I loved doing that. 🙂
Happy August, CIndy! I do love to romanticize, and I have two tables – one for the fantasy (except on the occasional occasions, when I really put it into service), and one for reality, which can also be put into service (it’s a drop down in its everyday life). I loved all of the centerpieces you shared, and would consider any and all of them for either the romanticized or reality situations. Love these features, too. That Mango Pineapple frozen concoction looks amazing, and so do those pina colada cupcakes. The kabobs look sensational. I need a cook and bartender, stat! I’m with you, and don’t miss the back-to-school scene one iota..

I felt like I had been liberated when our schools went to “Wrap Packs”! You bought them at the end of the school year and we picked them up just before school started the next year. Did y’all have those? Oh my golly, they saved my sanity! Thank you Rita. It sounds like you’re living a wonderful romanticized life. You go girl! Love it!
Yes, I love having my grown kids now, too… and my grands. Nika asks for homeschool advice, and I’m happy to give it, but I’m glad for the break from homeschooling. BUT, I would always be willing to help her, too! 😉
Thanks for hosting!

I’m not a grandma but I here it’s wonderful. I would hope I’d always be willing to help as well. But it sure feels nice not having to set an alarm these days. LOL. Thank you Julie for linking up.
