Wooden Shoes

CUTEST

THING 

EVER

I asked a friend who was taking a bicycle tour of Holland to bring me a 

small cute pair of souvenir wooden shoes

I never imagined they would be this adorable or so tiny!

I love to put them on my fingers and clop across my dresser.

I know.....I'm a dork. 

But I'm a happy dork.

Hummingbirds~~Take II

The Zinnias are blooming

I bought a red Hibiscus 

I planted a lot of red flowers this year.

I moved it into the shadier part of the yard. 

PLEASE tell the hummingbirds to visit me 

You can tell them the monarch butterflies like my yard

Paris Souvenir

Before I ever traveled to Europe friend Linda went with her niece.

She brought back this tiny purse souvenir for me and it had a piece of chocolate inside. 

It is so darn adorable I had to keep it. 

Every time I looked at it I would dream of being in Paris someday.

I've been there 3 times and want to go back again...and again...and again.

Have you ever been so tired.....

Have you ever been so tired........
I had a long tiring week at work and by Friday my brain was gone
Dear husband had a long tiring week at work and by Friday his brain was gone
Looming in our future ...... dinner
It had to be something easy yet I was hoping for comfort food and something warm since the temperature had dramatically dropped and it was rainy and cold all day
Chili sounded good...right??
I decided since the cold and damp was going to be around all weekend that I would make a double batch of it....
I got it all going and as dear husband lifted the lid to the pot he asked if we were having chili soup?
Well no not really. It would appear that I added what I thought was double the meat but in reality was just 1 lb. 
So want to do....I had came home showered and put my jammies on.
                          Dear husband came home showered and put his jammies on.
Our options were limited since neither of us wanted to get off the couch much less get dressed and go to the store for ground beef.
I suggested, not getting off the couch, how about the frozen meat balls we had....
We both agreed it was a brilliant idea and proceeded to thaw and add them in. I was in charge of cutting them in half and then "double half" them since I couldn't come up with the phrase "quarter them".
Best chili ever.......and most likely we felt that way because we could have cared less what it tasted like! 

It would have been ideal if it ended up looking like this---minus the beans of course!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

 Like a lot of the U.S. 

It has been so incredibly hot here!

Wilting hot!

But today was heaven. 74 degrees and a wonderful breeze. 

So what did I do on the way home from work?

Put the windows down cranked up the music and sang like I haven't sung for a long time! 

It was a great ride home for a change!

Shut Up and Dance & Honey I'm Good being the best songs of the day!

So there I was being incredibly dorky rocking out in my Chevy Equinox. 

I'm still smiling about what I silly picture I probably made.

Who Cares??? Not me for sure!
