Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

A new roof. It isn't a very exciting way to spend lots of money, but there is a sense of security derived from taking care of Casa Wags. 

Mike working from home. He's available to deal with contractors.

Progress in turning the 4th bedroom into a proper office for him. We got rid of the bed and are working on getting him a bigger, more functional desk.

And speaking of work...Ted got into the thick of international tax consulting this week and he was pretty jazzed about it. He came after a day of collaborating with his team so eager to tell us all about it. It reminded me of when he would come home from a golf match and tell us about every single shot.

Cheese orphans. They are perfect for happy hour charcuterie. And happy hour with my fristers.


Day drinking with my peeps. Last Saturday we took a drive to Elkhart Lake for lunch on the beautiful day and then we made a few stops on the way home. Small town Wisconsinites are the best.
 


Country roads.



Mornings on the porch at the Tree House. It's such a zen way to start the day. Ina is also a good companion.


Our fall trip to NYC is booked. We're going in November instead of October so I'm hopeful that we'll get crisp fall weather.

Scoring made in Brooklyn bagels at a local market. There is nothing like a NY bagel.

I made my first stock of the season and then turned it into Chicken Noddle Soup to share with my neighbors as a thank you. Loafs of banana and pheasant bread because soup without bread is unheard of and overripe fruit must be repurposed.

I froze a container to take to Lils later this month.

She's all stocked up because Grandma and Grandpa came to town to take her to lunch and bring her groceries.

They are seeking the sun and extra cuddly when the temps change.



 
 Cat in lap weather. Cute cat at that.
 

Game day pics from the girls. This weekend they're in Chicago.



A quiet weekend ahead staying close to home.
