Today I give thanks for...
Mikey is home sweet home.
I just found out that Elizabeth Strout has a new book out. I've got a few to finish before I can justify starting another so hopefully this is the incentive I need.
Fresh herbs on the patio.
Strawberries in the flower bed.
Salad weather. Especially when there is fresh burrata and a good medley of Italian olives in the frig.
A cease fire in the Middle East.
Getting out for a walk before storms rolled in last night.
Scheduling a call with my aunt last night. No work talk...just catching up and talking about travel plans.
These two. Such special souls.
This picture of Lils I found on my phone. She reminds me of my mom. I think it's the sunglasses.
Gus helping Ted and Meryl make salsa for a pool party last weekend.
Pink nails.
July 4th sales. Our 30 year old washing machine must be retired. Dan cannot fix it because they no longer make the part he needs. He didn't charge me for the service call and confirmed that Speed Queen is the way to go. They are being delivered Tuesday so no laundry for me this weekend!
Impromptu plans with Pete and Sue tomorrow.
It's supposed to be a beautiful 75 degree day tomorrow. Perfect for a walk and cocktails on the patio.
I took some pictures and I wrote some words this week and it inspires more.
