Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful for this lovely sunrise in my backyard and enjoying my first Starbucks in months. Between medications and severe mouth sores from the chemo, I had a few weeks where it was impossible to eat and my liquid diet was a struggle. I’ve been very thankful each day whenever I can successfully enjoy…

Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful for the many things that have helped get me through my first two lymphoma treatments that have caused side effects each time and many trips to the doctor’s office for bloodwork, but on the good days I remember what it’s like to feel good again.

A Dusting Of Snow

I really can’t believe how quickly we’re approaching the end of November and that I finally had to find my gloves and boots.

A Very Tired Moon Child

Not a great title, but after four days in the hospital this moon child was exhausted staring up at the moon when I took Harper outdoors after we celebrated I was back home.

This week I’m thankful for the arrival of October and finally a wonderful fall weather day yesterday. October Baseball is off to a fabulous start with the Detroit Tigers defeating the Houston Astros to advance the the Division Series and so far I think I’m up to about fifteen new book releases this month that…

Monday Mystery

It’s a mystery to me how I made it all these years without Blueberry Mustard, but thanks to this gift from my brother those days are over. I’m obsessed with dipping sauces and it was perfect with the baked soft pretzels and I even got a little crazy on another occasion and discovered it tastes…

Thankful Thursday

Coffee and candles have been a mainstay on my simplistic gratitude journey and I’m thankful for every wonderful sip of coffee and seasonal candles. Last evening I enjoyed my first cup of Maple Nut Crunch gourmet coffee while thinking about the presidential debate and how thankful I am for the special childless dog ladies in…

Trivial Tuesday – Apple Season or Pumpkin Season?

I have no idea how many times I have mentioned pumpkin spice on this blog or how many pumpkin spice lattes I’ve enjoyed or how many Halloween pumpkin decorations I’ve shared, but surprisingly on this Trivial Tuesday I’m going to take a moment to calm down the pumpkin craze by saying that I’ve always viewed…
