Wasn’t it only yesterday when I did the May Recap? It seems like it. Time surely does fly! Half of the year is over and we’re moving on to the next half. Before I know it, it’s already time to put up the holiday decor. 🙂 Anyhoo, let’s head on to the recap.
June has been a good month like the previous months. Nothing bad happened and all is well in our neck of the woods. School ended for the little one and we are all excited that summer is here. We have already enjoyed some trips this summer, and I hope we get to do more.
FAMILY
Hubby definitely had a blast on Father’s Day – a celebration that he so deserved. Why I am certain of it is because he was the one who gave the title for my Father’s Day post, A Spectacular Father’s Day! Need I say more?
I’ve never met hubby’s parents because his dad passed away when he was only 14 and his mom passed away just seven months before I arrived here in the U.S., but I feel like I’ve known them from the stories that he has told me. And he shared a heartwarming story of his dad and what he had taught him in ‘I Love My Job! A Loving Legacy of Labor.’
Like I said before, I think there will never be a month that the hubs is not going to talk about books here. He is such a bookworm and his love for books started from when he was only 6-years-old. He talked about the book, What’s it All About? by Michael Caine and the books by H.G. Wells. Like some of the comments he received about those posts, I would have never known of those books or authors if not for him.
FOOD
I shared three different recipes this month for different meals – one for breakfast, one for dinner and one simple healthy side dish. The Sausage and Potato Frittata for breakfast, Bistek Tagalog or Filipino Beefsteak for dinner and the Sauteed Mixed Vegetables with Oyster Sauce for side dish. Have you tried any of those yet?
The hubs did have a great Father’s Day and one of the reasons was having a good dinner at P.F Chang’s. The food was just superb in that restaurant. We’ll go back for sure.
TRAVEL
I finished my series for our Day at the Carolinas Aviation Museum with parts 2, 3 and 4. Part 1 is here if you want to check it out. Going to the museum was our first road trip for the summer. We have no plans yet where we’re going to next so we’ll see, though I know my hubs is dying to see his Atlanta Braves play again, and I’d certainly love it if we went when the Yankees were there.
On second thought, we haven’t explored the entire city of Asheville, North Carolina yet where we live and I know there is still a lot that we’ve got to see and learn in this city. Hubby started sharing a little bit of the city’s history in Asheville is Not Only My Hometown, But Also a Place of History and there will be more that I’ll share here later.
And that’s a wrap for the whole month of blogging in June!
How was your June?
Sounds like you had an awesome June! My June is quite stressful since we just moved back to the US.
You guys sure were busy in June! I hope the rest of the summer brings you and your family more fun and adventure.
Ooh, I remember the sausage and potato fritata. I made it, and it was fantastic! It’s one of my family’s favorites now.
Wow, productive month, I would say! Content is key!
It does sound like you had a great June. I checked out the recipes and they look so tasty! I hope your having a great day of July! Haha.
Where in the world did June go? I love summer and I also love looking back at everything that happened. I had a great June and am looking forward to vacation in July.
Sounds like you had a good June! I had a good June, but wish the Chicago weather would feel more like summer and less like spring and fall!!
Busy month for you guys huh? You are becoming a master chef na sis, way to go!
It sounds like June was a very productive month for you! Wishing you all the best for July!

Sounds like a busy and fun month! I love frittatas, so I’ll have to go back and check out your sausage and potato version.
What a great experience you had a busy month ,, i think you had a good june . My june was full of stress
It sounds like you had a wonderful month. We got to do a few things last month too.
My husband didn’t get to know my mom either. She passed away about two years after we married but she had dementia so she wasn’t all there when we met.
It sounds like you had an awesome month of June and so happy your husband had a spectacular Father’s Day. Sausage and Potato Frittata sounds interesting and I will have to try making this for sure. I would love to go on a little trip sometime this summer. I had my baby graduate from High School and his grad party. Than I ended up sick rest of the month. I still had a beautiful month though. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like June was a very busy month. You filled it up with great memories and family time.
This year is going by so fast! It sounds like you had a really good month – our family did, as well!
What a busy month! I can’t believe that summer is halfway over! Love your adventures.
Seriously! Where did June go? I’m so glad you had a good month though. Thanks for sharing!
I can’t believe it is July. School starts next month and I am not ready to send the kids off! 🙁
I have to say I love June. It’s my birthday and my daughters. It’s the start to summer and I love it. Thanks for sharing your June recap.
Sometimes I think we keep a frantic pace in our household, but you guys might have us beat!
Sounds like you had an awesome June Lyn! Cheers to a fruitful July!
