MIA: Traveling Woman

So, there were just no opportunities to blog during our 2+ week travels to and from Orlando. Then, when I first got home I started a catch-up post and my iPad dumped it. iPad blogging has been less than stellar.

I've been playing catch-up for 6 days now, physically and emotionally. The holidays, they are upon us, and it's time to get my mojo back.

There will be photos. Just as soon as I can get the iPad to give them up to be edited a bit.

Lots of time with three little girls, some warm weather when there was none at home, and lots of driving--what I've been up to lately.

The re-upholstered furniture is due for delivery tomorrow, and soon the draperies. I'm ready to be done and anxious for our home to be a peaceful dwelling again. Soon.

Happy birthday today, GJ! This date is filled with magic just for you. 11-11-11

AN ORDINARY DAY

Some days are bursting at the seams with projects and accomplishments, adventures and creativity. Some days I rush from one thing to another, clinging to my list and checking things off. I love that kind of day, but there's another day that I'm reminded to appreciate. An ordinary day.

An ordinary day might start with the gym, a few errands and phone calls, then a simple lunch of toasted sour dough bread with butter and Havarti cheese. The afternoon could include a good book and, on the right kind of day, a nap. By dinner comfort food would be planned--pasta or homemade soup.

The evening would be spent with CA reading, watching t.v. or a video, and some quiet conversation.

Ordinary days are great days. Life can be just this simple.

HUGE PROJECT

There will now be a refreshing pause in our renovation, until the furniture is delivered and set in-place. Then the results will be revealed.
