I don’t think so. I’m not letting July pass by that quickly. Summer is still happening in my neck of the woods. I am enjoying the longer evenings still because the twilight hours bring on the fireflies and perhaps the chance of an outdoor fire on the patio. Summer is staying put!
Summer Getaway!
We had a short and fun getaway to the Finger Lakes area in New York. As we drove up to the area, the haze was so thick with smoke from Canada, but it disappeared over the following days. I am so happy it did because Taughannock Falls would not have been as pretty!
The Finger Lakes Region covers 9,000 square miles with 11 lakes! Last fall, we visited the Watkins Glen area and Seneca Lake; you can read about it here.
This time we visited beautiful Cayuga Lake and the impressive Taughannock Falls. There was loveliness around every bend. The hillsides are dotted with farms, vineyards, waterfalls, and bed and breakfast places. We had a wonderful stay at The Glass Magnolia Bed and Breakfast in Interlaken, NY. The owners were quite nice and so attentive, our room was delightful, and breakfast in the morning was delicious! A perfect getaway for us.
I highly recommend a trip to the Fingerlakes! There’s so much beauty to see, lots of fun recreational activities and wineries to visit.
Bridal Shower
After a few days, we were so happy to attend our son’s and his fiance’s bridal shower. It was a lovely gathering of friends and family. You could feel the love in the room! We are all so excited for the wedding in a few months!
Thank You!
We had a wonderful week!
As I always try to convey… we certainly appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We wish all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

Big week! That looks like a wonderful road trip, and the falls are beautiful. A family bridal shower is certainly a great way to top it off. Best wishes to the couple and the families. Happy end of July, and it sure flew by.
Time does fly by! It’s why we all have to get out and enjoy every moment!
Thanks for the love!
Good morning, Nancy. Your getaway to the Finger Lakes area looks fabulous. I love the stunning waterfall, it has the cooling effect on a hot day in the South. I know the shower was beautiful and you are excited for the upcoming wedding. Happy Tuesday!
We sure are, Pam! Thanks so much for all the love!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Yes, Nance, July is flying by! Let’s savor this summer.
Indeed my friend!
What a wonderful time! Congratulations on your son’s engagement. 💕
I’m amazed by that waterfall!
It was gorgeous!
And thank you so much! We are excited!
Congratulations to your son and his fiance! It’s hard for me to imagine a fire in the fire pit in the summer time with the high temperatures we’ve been having! Love those waterfalls! Have a great week!
It was cool in the evenings here, but heating up today.
Thanks for the love, dear friend!
Beautiful falls and photos. When I was a kid I couldn’t understand why women got together to shower with the bride.
Lol! My morning giggle!
The falls were incredible! Thanks so much for the visit!
Another Tuesday morning full of love and light! Thank you, Nancy — congratulations to your son and his soon-to-be bride! And your photos — oh my – generally!? You had me with waterfalls. Thank you! 🥰

Thank you, Kari!
The finger lakes region is definitely on my to-travel list, (especially toward the top of the list because of the many waterfalls there). Great photos! Thanks for taking us along.
I highly suggest the area near Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake!
Thanks for the visit and your kind words.
The Finger Lakes are beautiful — I’ve not been to your spots but to others and they don’t disappoint. That shower looks just lovely and I really liked the photo of the happy couple!
Happy couple indeed! Thanks for the visit, dear friend!

How perfect to get your getaway to the Finger Lakes and celebrate the wedding shower.
Thank you Karen!
The Taughannock Falls are seriously amazing–worth the trip and glad the smoke cleared up, Nancy! Your summer is in full swing, just like ours is. Looks like the shower was a wonderful time. Enjoy the last few days of July and we enter the “lazy days” of summer!
Thanks Teri! And yes… here come the Lazy Days!
