Appreciations Year Three: Day 337

Ho hum. More gloriously beautiful weather. Hahahaha. 🙂

A wonderful visit with Pam yesterday, including meeting Regine and Kristin. What lovely people. And we had so much fun with our group coloring project. I so enjoy spending time with grown-ups who love to play. Pam’s nurse, Ali, played with us, too. What a delightful person! Pam sure attracts the best, brightest, most fun people into her circle! ❤

Amy’s drop-in class was really fun. She did a great job!!

Riding around town with Alison in her sporty little convertible – great weather for riding with the lid down.

Fun dinner with Alison, the hair whisperer. She is so funny and bright and makes me giggle! 😀

Hanging out and talking with the kids before bed. I so adore the people in my life.

Appreciation Year Three: Day 316

Okay, so there’s gorgeous weather….and then there’s Bwahahahahaha-I-LOVE-it gorgeous weather. That’s what we’ve been getting lately and it is absolutely the best! 🙂

Black raspberries from the backyard…a little early this year, and so delicious.

Summer eating, oh my heavens — cantaloupe, asparagus, and berries, oh my!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 314

My “fidget ring” that Kari gave me years ago. I like that it fits on both thumbs and middle fingers – so many options for moving it from hand to hand. It has helped me sit through lots of meetings and other sit-still events! 😉

Perfect timing that meant the dog did NOT run all the way out into the street and in front of my car and the car behind me was far enough back that it did NOT hit me. How nice to just continue driving around the lake with nothing to report!

Guess what?! More beautiful weather. What a wonderful summer we are having! 😀

IMG_3075Short, but sweet walk with Katie….ahahaha – the other short, but sweet girl in my house. 😛

Nice evening out with the musical improv group, comparing notes on musical improv we saw at TCIF and just socializing for a change.

Sitting by the open window, finishing up some work and looking out at the big, beautiful moon.

Appreciations Year Three: Day 312

Nice chat with my brother Jeff this morning, catching up on the family and the house sale. I’m so excited for them to move back to Minnesota!!

More gorgeous weather. Beautiful day for Pride! Katie's-Rainbow-Heart

Mckenzie’s and my funny “hey it’s about to rain, let’s get a bunch of weeds pulled and the lawn mowed really quick before the storm” adventure (which resulted in both of us becoming rain soaked, but also resulted in a MUCH nicer looking yard!)

Hilarious and enlightening chat with David in the afternoon.

Another great push on our house de-cluttering project, with 4 bags of stuff going to various family members and 4 bags of stuff going to Value Village. Progress!

Hanging out with the kids and being silly after our productive day. What a great end to the weekend!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 256

Stating and affirming goals and plans – especially when they include singing, improv, teaching, and friends!

Our crazy weather… true, it’s in the 70’s and 80’s this weekend, but it is still possible that it will snow this month. I think the only month it’s never snowed in MN is July. Funny to get out all our sandals, but not yet put away our scarves and heavy coats. Hahaha!

Pam and Diana feetses May 2015Sandals and summer feet! (Thanks for taking this photo, Pam!).

Cough drops, lavender, talkative kitties, clover, sparkly stones in the road, swings, neighborhood kids laughing, artists, optimists, optometrists. 😉
