Saturday in the Park

Ok, wasn't really the park but the downtown market and it is Saturday.

Discovered a cute little shop only open on Saturdays! Had a nice lunch with my mom even if the service was so slow I almost stopped being hungry.

The rain later in the day threatened to ruin our dinner plans but Pops armed with an umbrella was able to grill to perfection the mouth watering filets, we added a greek salad and a fantastic wine!

I did start reading an interesting book, Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts...

beginning week 2 of blogging...

so many things to write and can't think of one!!

right!!

Harry is in his other happy place, following Charlie, hiding from Charlie, deciding  what time he'll give his grandpa a back massage by walking on his back early in the morning

Button has eaten almost 2 bowls of food and is sleeping her deep sleep

Chloe was tricked into walking tonight, she's scared there will be fireworks somewhere in her little world

Chaz and Gus have been sighted and Roi is being mysterious

deciding what I'll put into saving next week....decisions decisions...
also deciding if I'm going to make Pizelles tomorrow

also thinking it's time for sleep

oh, I finished book 1 of 36...

week one of 52

One my way home from work I noticed some wood storks, I've seen them all week, well, one of them, then 2 but today 4 stood with their backs to me along a canal looking like 4 old men. Nothing else, just that!

tempting to let day 6 slip away...

Quitting before I've barely begun you might think and you might be right; but I can't be a quitter.
It's a time to be positive, a new year, a fresh start, the promise of adventures to come, recipes to make, books to read, challenges to be successful completing! NO, I'm still not making resolutions, just turning a phrase at this point.

And to further my goal of being positive and not lashing out with my normal sarcastic self I'll end tonight, I'll stop writing and go back to reading a book, "After You" by Jojo Moyes, sequel to "Me Before You" (sadly which will soon be a sad shadow of a book movie"

5th of January

Another day floats by...

a friend whispered she's getting married...yeah! so happy for her and her little family!

fingers crossed for a dear sister, her son is going through a rough patch, hoping Justice is not truly blind...

another dearest sister has a friend in need of prayers, sent of course and continuing...

thoughts drift to my most blissful friend starting again on the west coast, so want her to be happy; she's truly incredible.

making plans for a little trip north of here, can't wait for the adventures that await me!!

day 4 of January 2016

48 days until the Daytona 500...

Trying to eat better, a more balanced diet, drink more water, walk more, save more...

yes, I still make no resolutions!


Blogging everyday or at least trying too...baby steps here too, scattered thoughts until I decide if I have something important to say or rather write!

day 3 of the new year

Woke up to a winters day, overcast and colder than any day since winter official began!

Hate to think that the end of my New Years mini vacation is going to end with a dreary day and I have to work 5 whole days before my next day off...dang! (holiday definitely have me spoiled)

The best thing about today is it's only 7 Sunday's until the Daytona 500!!

and yes I do not make resolutions but I am all for making changes, so I hope to improve my eating habits, to walk more, read more, be better organized...but these are not resolutions!!


Best thing about today is that on this date last year I adopted the most adorable mouthy little tuxedo kitten, 3 months old and 3 pounds...at this moment he's maybe a tad over 13 pounds, curled up in his little tepee house taking a catnap! He's been a wonderful son and he came at the perfect time.
