Jimmy Buffet’s music is part of the reason we were drawn to Florida in the first place ~ simple, laid-back, fun ~ oh, and warm. (Although, I have to admit that the only cheeseburger we’ve had in a town called Paradise was in the middle of winter in Michigan’s UP when we were snowmobiling.)
Healthy chocolate. I’ve always loved raisins ~ Nature’s Candy ~ and they’re even better covered in chocolate. We picked up an extra big jar at Costco ~ I wonder how long this jar will last?
Our crabby clock. I found this colorful crab at one of the flea markets down here and added the clock pieces. It makes a really cute clock for the bathroom.
Ahhhh ~ SLEEP. I had heard lavender calms you, but I was surprised to learn that this lotion by Bath & Body Works really does help me sleep. I have some body wash as well for a double dose of the sleepies. Thanks, Melissa!
Tonight’s dinner. Actually, the spaghetti sauce was left over from the other night, so we thought lasagna sounded pretty good. With a fresh loaf of bagette bread from Publix (and some French bread we had left over) ~ Yummmmmmm!
Celia taught me how to play Mancala when they came to visit this summer ~ I almost figured it out pretty well while they were here, but I’m sure they kicked my butt 9 times out of 10. I better practice up before I go out to Oregon to see them.
Organization envy. I saw this in a recent issue of Real Simple magazine. I would love to be this organized ~ having all my photos loaded onto CDs or DVDs, labeled and sorted by year ~ and having all my miscellaneous cords bagged and labeled. It may be a possibility ~ I don’t really have THAT many photos to back up. I just need somewhere to put them once I do. I’m adding that to my “Things to do” list.
Remember the project my hubby was working on in this post? He finished it yesterday ~ LOVE the color!
Does it count if I take a photo of a photo? This is my graduation pic, and I added it as my profile pic on Facebook (there’s some kind of retro theme going on). Hard to believe that pic’s more than 40 years old :(
I love the way the sun shines into our room at the end of the day. It warms the soul.
Sara sent me pics of Ryan and Nathan playing in the snow ~ I really (sometimes) miss being able to make snow angels with the kids.
My current addiction. Raisinets ~ the perfect combination ~ chocolate and raisins. It’s a great way to get at least one serving of fruit.
Beatlemania. It was 1964 and I was a HUGE Beatles fan. My best friend at the time gave me a copy of John Lennon’s book “In His Own Write”. 46 years later, the book is a little a lot shabbier and missing its spine cover, but still a great (odd) read.
In for the night. This week the weather's threatening overnight temps down in the 30s, so I thought I'd better move my plants in for a while. Hope they don't mind huddling together on my kitchen table!
