Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

A lovely stretch of  days that hint of what is to come and that what is to come is my favorite time of year. On my way home from Madison this week, the familiar landscape was starting to show the tell tale signs of fall.

A long weekend that starts today and a long list of to dos, but plenty of time for some fun too.

It may be warm enough for a beach day Sunday.

Lils is off on her senior year and I think it's going to be a good one. Another good one.




My guy. He didn't sign up to take care of 10 cats for a whole month, but he's helped me every day even going solo a couple of times. At first, he saw how overwhelming it was, and now he's just grown attached to their sweet little personalities.
 
The gang. Most of them that is. 
 
Sir Leo aka Oscar because he resembles the Grouch. He is a total love bug.
 
Biscuit. Nothing, but sweet.
 
Mocha who finally came down from the ceiling to play. He's the papa to all these beauts.
 
Princess Gigi.
 
Snowy, the mama.
 
Matcha who purrs so loud.
 
Marshmallow. Lily's favorite.


And speaking of kitties, I just got this picture of Manny and Murphy. As predicted, he's warming up to her.

 
 A date with the kids. Pizza followed by Weapons. I think I liked it in a weird way, but it sort of left me with no words so I'll leave it at that. Oh, but I love me some Ruth.

I haven't had much kitchen mojo...I haven't had to. Lils eats what she wants when she wants and Mike has been traveling. But then there was that one night we made shrimp bowls and another when Miked picked up some gorgeous steaks and grilled them to perfection. 

 Homemade hummus. Fresh tzatziki.

 

A homemade loaf of bread from a friend on my birthday that turned into the most nostalgic grilled cheese. And even though I'm lactose intolerant, i had to have a glass of cold milk.


  This meal. What a special birthday treat!






These peeps. My heart.
 

 New Birks.
 

 The pictures I find on my phone from Lily. She always makes me laugh.
 


 

Open window days and nights.
