My-Day Friday

What did I do today?

I slept in until almost 11am. 

I love sleeping in 

but I don't like waking up feeling like half the day is already gone.

Chip and I went for coffee and a Milkbone and returned home,

just me and my favorite dog

and our favorite show,

those crazy Kardashian girls...

We also sat in the sun and shared stories with Del and Mikey.

They were setting up to work on the siding and porch overhang today.

Sometime around 1pm I became motivated enough to shower.

Vern came home and we escaped to go garage sailing. 

We scored a great REI back back for $10!

Ironically the sale was at Sheila Shannon's house!

(remember the previous post about how I was reading her book and she came to me for a haircut?)

Funny how I keep running into her.

She is sweet as pie :)

We took a detour through the mountains up beyond Mt. Peak.

At a lookout we pulled over to enjoy the view and I snagged a great chunk of moss to take home!

I love free "gifts"from Mother Nature!

(well, except the monthly one..haha)

I was a happy girl :)

As we rolled into the driveway I saw an awesome surprise!

My new solar powered lanterns were hung just the way I wanted them on the back porch!

The guys had pulled a fast one on me..and I loved it!

I hear it was all Del's idea but I know Vern and Mikey were in on it too ;)

I am a lucky girl!

As you can see the finish work is still coming along...I cropped out the lumber/power tool mess in the yard.

I have no desire to remember that!haha

While the camera was out I tried to take a few pics of Chipper but that crazy little dog never seems to cooperate during a photo shoot.

So here he is in one his more popular poses..

"May I have the treat?!"

I didn't even have to cook-

Vern took me out to eat at our favorite spot,The Lee.

A little local restaurant with good food and an entertaining parade of "regulars".

Trevor also works there as a cook/dishwasher but wasn't working tonight.

With full bellies we waddled home and...

There I was again-

snuggled in bed,

this time with my favorite person,

and some of our favorite shows.

Whale Wars I think..

Tomorrow I am cooking "Make Ahead Meals" to freeze for future dinners.

I am buying and preparing fresh beets and also quinoa for the first time in the next few weeks.

These two sound like cheap and simple super foods that might help change things up in our usual ol' menu.

I am also making cookies and cupcakes.

Cute cupcakes.

  Cute enough to wow a 3 year old girl..

She requested the "cookie lady" make her some cupcakes too! haha

How can I say no?

Oh I am going to have fun with this!

I will take pics :)
