Coffee for Breakfast

Today began with coffee, as usual. Then I helped my husband get our huge yard back in order. He is such a hard worker, if I don't help him, he will spend every day this summer forgetting how to relax. Relaxing is at the top of my agenda. After I put a new routine in order, I'm hopeful that we will make a lot of fun, laid back memories. Just a few things I want to make happen over the next couple of weeks: Homemade ice cream...I bought an unused (still in the box) electric ice cream maker last year that never was used.   Keeping a large gallon of lemonade/tea made at all times  Picnic at the lake and swimming or fishing   Fireworks show  Produce stand  Popsicles for the grandkids   Lots of journaling and self care (because that is my current stage)  Finishing my 4th of July quilt (from last year) I also managed to make a menu plan for the next couple of weeks. Breakfast plan is to keep it simple. I'll just rotate between eggs, smoothies, yogurt, and oat

The first day of summer, 2017... After reading through my old blog posts, I decided it's time to write the next chapter in my life. Upon realizing that today is the first official day of summer, I thought I would share My Summer Story, 2017. Day one is all about catching up on necessary chores and errands. Hopefully today's prep work will allow some relaxed summer fun for the next couple of weeks. I've not put enough thought into how I would like to spend the next  90ish days of summer in an intentional way. So, tonight I would like to make a bucket list. Life has been good but busy. Summer, you were sneaky this year. I don't plan to let you slip out of sight and transition into fall before I make the most of you.

I decided on a whim to resurrect this little space today. I have dinner to prepare, a long trip to take in the early morning, and too many undone chores...but I decided to sign in after almost three years. Then I decided that right now would be the perfect time to write a new post. I'm not completely sure I will keep all of my older posts. I'm considering a complete makeover. My older posts are true thoughts of the person I was three or more years ago. A lot has changed in my life since then. I'm off the cook the aforementioned dinner before my poor husband tells the world that I made him survive on crackers all day. I'll be back with a real update soon.
