And...here we go!

1. My car is back on the road thanks to my talented hubby.

2. Hopefully, adoption is coming up next.

3. Lately, things seem to be directing me to be even more family focused than I already naturally am.

4. The small patio on the back porch of my mother's house is one of my favorite 'hiding' places. I helped her build that patio many years ago and have found many hours of solace sitting back there quietly reading a good book.

5. What happened to ladies wearing dresses when they go to important places?

6. Finding peace and contentment each day is not impossible!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to brining a cornish hen and 'cuing it up, tomorrow my plans include a massage and Sunday, I want to go for a really long hike, maybe up at one of the beautiful mountain lakes in the Eastern Sierras.
