Style Scouting: Vol. 194
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
How is your holiday weekend going so far? It is always easy to know when it is a holiday weekend on the lake as the boats with families tubing and jet ski traffic goes way up starting on Friday morning.

Ed and I are enjoying a quiet weekend. We plan to head out on the lake today to go kayaking and then later for a spin on the boat. Once we get home, we will grill something for dinner and Ed will enjoy this frozen pie that he loves and I made for him yesterday.
Before getting to the links I found this week, I have a favor to ask of you. I, along with all bloggers and content creators on the web need your help!!! If you enjoy reading blogs and websites written by real people then please consider reading this.
In a nutshell it is about all the not so great changes Google has made to their search engine over the last few months as they race to be the king of Ai and how it is going to impact most of your favorite blogs and websites.
Now onto this week’s links…
