joy filled days....



Work wise this is truly a crazy

time of year, but this weekend was

 filled with moments of simple joy.

Long Bike Rides(just ask my legs...)

Planning a cocktail party menu with Sally

 for her 50th birthday.

Watching an old Barbara Stanwyck movie

(love.love.love. her!)

Making a YUMMY vegan mushroom stroganoff with Steff.

Listening to Steff describe how proud she is of herself

for making her first vegan apple pie - including a nice

homemade flaky crust - it was FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS! 
Seeing the joy on her face and hearing it in her voice
well, that defintely was a proud mama moment!

How was your weekend?

when i grow up....

I want to be just like these ladies - they are so inspiring to me!

I have been doing really well with my daily walking.  Loving this

new routine that I have made for myself.  It's wonderful getting

out in the crisp fresh air in the morning and early evening and taking

a brisk walk.  It's fabulous to see so many people out at the park,

getting a bit of exercise in on a daily basis.

This weekend I don't have alot of plans - I am hoping to do a bit

of bike riding, like my inspirations above, get together with friends,

finish up a few projects that I have been procrastinating on and

just enjoy the weekend!  I hope you are able to do the same!

CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND!

Smile at a stranger - it's a win win for everyone!

hello may!

Isn't this a dreamy photo!  I have been doing alot

of bike riding lately.  I think, I might just have to

spruce up my riding outfits quite a bit more after

seeing this photo.  I have been reminding myself

to take the bike out for short trips instead of getting

in the car and driving because it's quicker - so far,

so good.  I am truly loving it!

Happy May!  Have a fabulous week!!

oh the life...

If only I could hop on that bike in that very cool looking outfit

and live her life for one day, how perfect would that be?

Knowing me however, I would get the dress stuck in the spokes,

grease on my legs, or skinned knees from falling off the bike

as my hair got in my face and I couldn't see...

A girl can dream of that perfect day though....
