tying loose ends...

Just a few notes to scribble from the week... I've been trying to move photos from my cell phone to my laptop, but no luck at the moment, so as of now, the post is photo-less...

I had dinner with Miss K of Simplicity Wins Wednesday, and let me tell you... it was just one of the best times ever! Miss K's home is exactly what I would want for myself... a bit shabby-chic, country and stylish! I love her eclectic collection of decorations, yard art, antiques and goodies in every nook and cranny! I always, ALWAYS feel so comfortable in her home...and I always find it a treat to visit her! Her back yard simply charms the pants off of me! A flagstone 'patio' with dicondra peeking through the cracks, a $5 wall water fountain (Miss K is the QUEEN of bargains!), a garden of pansies, roses, vines, a fig tree, tomatoes, peppers, allysum and the most fertile garden dirt of compost ever! We dined on warm rosemary sourdough bread dipped in olive oil, a wonderful salad of pearl tomoatoes, little mozzarella balls and cucumbers drizzled with a perfect light dressing... flank steak rounds stuffed with feta cheese and spinach, strawberry topped jello with whipped cream, wine, wine, wine and refreshing cucumber water! It was so good to visit with her...she inspires me always in some way after visiting her. So today, I sprinkled a bag of Starbuck's coffee grounds in my gardens because of her! : ) Love you K...and thank you for dinner... always the best of times!

Last night was super fun because my ya-ya's, a bebe ya-ya and my wonderful friend (and boss) got together for some 'nectar of the gods' at Nando's for a much needed happy hour. I've wanted these three lovely and oh-so important in my life! ladies to meet each other...and this was just a great way to do it! It was a wonderful way to end the week.

Today, was a hodge-podge of chores...changing smoke-detector battery, restringing lights on my 'life tree', laundry, gardening a bit, cleaning up the kitchen, my bathroom and bedroom, some computer work, and a bit of organizing.... it was the perfect day to stay home and do this... cold, cloudy, and wet from a night of sprinkles. My kind of day.
