Good morning! It’s Sunday and its my favorite “coffee in bed” morning. I’m kidding. Every morning is my favorite “coffee in bed” morning. When I’m behaving myself, Mike brings me coffee in bed, and THAT is the best “coffee in bed” morning. I try to behave as often as possible. Today is Mikes birthday and he’s out the door for a cool morning of golf. I didn’t get to painting the trim for the living room floors yesterday, so I’ll be in the garage working on that, doing a few chores and hope to do a little meal planning for the week. It’ll be a good “get stuff done” day. It’s Halloween! Trick or Treat for you? What will you do tonight? Trick or Treat with a few little ones? Hand out candy? Dress up and hand out candy? Turn off all the lights and hide in your house? We’ve […]

Grateful for this Space
Good morning! After two rainy mornings spent in Effie (so grateful to have her!!) it looks like it is going to be a beautiful sunny Saturday here in KC. I’m looking forward to spending some time outside today. I have a few things to do with Effie this afternoon, so I’ll be visiting her again and chatting with my pops for a bit. I’ve been assigned to buy and paint the trim that goes along the base of the floor in the living room, so I’ll spend a better part of my day in the garage or driveway soaking up some fresh air while I paint. What are your plans for this fall Saturday? Pumpkin patch? Sipping cider? An outdoor fire? A long walk? Watching some football? Curling up with a good book? However you spend your day, I hope you have a great one! Yesterday’s eats……. Breakfast Typically I […]
A Season of Change
These last few weeks have been filled with outdoor walks, beautiful fall mornings sipping coffee and our first fall fire outside on the deck. Oh!! And the beginnings of a first floor makeover! It’s a season of change here and I’m embracing it. It’s rainy on this chilly fall Friday and I’m out the door soon to visit Effie. Yesterday was rainy and chilly as well and it seemed like a good morning for coffee and writing in Effie. I decided to give Yoga a try in my tiny little space. Coziest Yoga space ever. Change in Our Living Room! We’ve talked about removing our living room carpet and putting in hardwood floors for a really really long time, and that day has come. Our worn leather couch had developed holes in two of the three cushions during 2020, and with no guest in the house, it was easy to […]
Fall Vibes and Road Trips
Happy October! Cooler temps, soups and stews, football, leaves popping with color, cozy evenings by the fire. These are a few of my favorite things and I’m ready for all of them. And Pumpkin, but you knew that. These last few weeks I’ve put some miles on my truck and had all sorts of fun with a few road trips. A few days after my trip to Branson in Effie, I spent a couple of nights away with some long time girlfriends catching up and relaxing. We did our own little wine tasting with a tray of goodies one night for dinner. I’m getting better at this charcuterie thing. Now I need to work on making one a tad bit healthier, but this was fun to put together and share with friends. Camping After a couple of nights with the girls I drove home, unloaded dirty clothes and empty food […]
