Happy August & Sunflower Love 💛

Sunflower Looking Out the Window

Sunflowers are so interesting and so perfect for an August post. We had a young entrepreneur in our neighborhood selling sunflowers (for a great price) a while back. I snapped a photo of the sunflower as it turned to look out the front window. They have such charisma.

Flower On the Windowsill…

I love having a flower, usually popped into a small jar, on my kitchen window. Often it’s a flower that broke off while changing water and giving a fresh cut, but sometimes it’s there just because. The light streams in and the setting against the large live oak trees is magical. The bright yellow makes you smile each time you walk past.

Tried this ray of sunshine, I am a convert…

How happy is this? After (finally) purchasing a Scrub Daddy that i’ve heard so much about, but wasn’t going to give in to the cuteness – I had to try it out. I mean, don’t say you don’t like something if you’ve never tried it, right? I bought – I tried – I am a convert!

View from Port Clyde, Maine

Port Clyde, ME

Ahhh, Port Clyde, Maine. It’s the most fabulous place in the world. No glitz and glitter, just down to earth kind people. Friendly people that you can sit with at the general store each morning and talk while you have coffee and toast. Or wonderful strangers that become friends that teach you how to knit! Hard working people who don’t complain. It’s somewhere everyone needs to see at least once. When we were there several years ago I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. I still don’t. I want to go back… and I can’t wait until that happens… Also can’t wait to see our friends on Monhegan… woohoo, they say it’s healthy to have a vacation to look forward to, woohoo…

Catch you back here tomorrow!

A serious addiction… Starbuck’s Frappuccino

Image: Frappuccino.com

I am addicted to coffee flavored Starbuck’s Frappuccino’s… the ones in the little bottles that come in a 4 pack at the grocery store… yep. It’s a shame. BUT, like with all things that aren’t technically “good for you” (although I do try hard to justify this, milk instead of cream, just a wee bit of sugar, etc. etc.) I have rules… ha ha. I only drink one 4-pack a week… the bottles are 9.5oz. So on most days I drink 1/2 bottle, and one day a week I get to enjoy the whole enchilada… and I look forward to that day! Now you realize 1/2 bottle is literally a few sips… but it is the sweetest few sips of my morning! If you have tried a Frappuccino you know what I’m talking about… if you haven’t, hmmm, I’m not sure I would try… I’m thinking it’s like a cigarette… it’s tough to quit… no butts about it… (hee hee. pun intended).

Happy Mother’s Day mom! I just want to let you know how much you mean to me (the world), and what a inspiration you have been in my life. I was SO FORTUNATE to grow up in a happy home with great parents, and YOU are the best mom in the world. From taking care of us if we were sick, to just being so much fun to be around. We’ve had such a great time shopping and eating, and just hanging out on the front porch (and still do!). I want to thank you for all you have done for me and know that I am here for you… always! I love you! me

Happy Mother’s Day Bobbie! We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all you have done for us. You are always willing to help with any/everything!

From your support with showing horses, the two of you building fires, the family camping trips for the summer (whooooa, you are a trooper!)… all the things that make him who he is! So THANK YOU for being so wonderful to me, and for being such an awesome mom to Fred, WE are always here for YOU. We love you! Us
