Happy July!
I don’t know about you, but July is full-on summer for me. I dream of swimming pools and trips to the beach (even though I honestly don’t love the beach in summer, because hello skin cancer.) I can smell the coconut in the air and feel the sand between my toes.
We’re blessed to have neighbors with a pool who are happy to have us come over and swim. Our plan is to put in a pool of our own, but there’s time and budgeting to take place before that.
What does July say to you?

Elizabeth Maddrey is a semi-reformed computer geek and homeschooling mother of two who lives in the suburbs of Washington D.C. When she isn’t writing, Elizabeth is a voracious consumer of books. She loves to write about Christians who struggle through their lives, dealing with sin and receiving God’s grace on their way to their own romantic happily ever after.
July means I work on my re-certifications to sell insurance again next year, and that hurricane season is in it’s second month. It also means FL is HOT, and my A/C will be running more!
I saw you were making good progress on your recerts. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Thank you very much! Yes, I received my prize and I was extremely surprised, because winning something does not happen often to me, especially across the seas…
I still am not too sure why I have won (what at, more exactly), as I was looking at the past week’s posts and none was Erin’s, to say that I commented to hers and I won. But I am grateful I did.
July means for me extensive appartment renovation. There is a team of three, their boss being a childhood friend, and my husband as a bonus helper when needed.
It was this post – https://www.inspyromance.com/people-places-and-things/ which was the week before last. Sometimes we’re a little slow to get winners posted.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much! I am here, commenting wherever I feel I have something to say…
Maria, it was my post from 6/22. Readers could comment until 6/27 and then the winner was picked, which is why it wasn’t announced until this week. I’m glad you received the book and hope you enjoy it.
Here July means cold. Middle month of winter. Right now we are having a cold blast but looks like at least there won’t be rain. June started warmer than normal then went wet and cold. As I am moving end of the month/beginning of the next one I am trying to ration wood to last as long as possible (going to run out about 2 weeks before I move but this load has lasted way longer than I thought it would).
Praying the rain holds off for your move.
Happy July. Thank you so much for sharing. Congratulations. God bless you.
