Dirt Road Adventures: Post Vacation, Summer Heat, and Test Results
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey friends, we are back from two weeks at our beach cottage. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. Our daughter joined us for a few days, and we enjoyed our family time. We were fortunate at the beginning of our vacation because the major heat didn’t reach the beach. However, the last few days were unbearable, and we came home to the same humid temperatures.
We were fortunate to have a lemonade stand just down the street with homemade peach icecream, Britt’s donuts and of course lemonade. Campbell and John were very industrious and provided a wonderful service to the neighborhood.
I’m so excited to share that I received a negative report on my Signatera Blood Test, and all my blood work was perfect at Friday’s infusion. So things are looking up, and I shared all the details in My Healing Journal.

What’s in my Cart?
As you know, we have completed the updates in our beach cottage, and I shared some of the new items last week on the Tiny Beach Cottage Summer Tour.
I’m loving these summer styles – I already have the cropped blue button down top in two colors and it’s available in several. It’s really a good looking and quality fabric. I’ll probably be purchasing some in long sleeves next. They are on sale now for less than $20.00.
The white denim bermuda shorts are super comfortable and I love the length and fit.
