Monday Morning Coffee

Good Monday morning, my friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. And, I hope you are ready for a good week ahead. This week is a mix of days with a few things to do and days with nothing that needs to be done, and while I used to dread the busier days, I now use them to appreciate the stay-at-home days even more. 

Today I am staying home, organizing and cleaning, washing and folding. Dinner is yet unplanned, but I am sure we will come up with something. Last night, we took my Jeep to the condo and sat outside for a bit. We got some takeout from a favorite place nearby and watched Big Brother before tidying up and heading home. It was an impromptu plan, and the three of us, Steve, I, and Flynn, had a good time.

Well, I have to get started on the day. Or on another cup of coffee! Have a cozy day, my friends. Thanks for visiting!

  1. I love the meme! Had to show it to my husband as he's the coffee drinker here and also complains about the nuts out there! :)
    Beautiful photos!

  5. Oh my gosh, that squirrel picture and quote made me chuckle hehehe. They are so wired up, and never stop, do they? You always take such nice pictures of the ocean, and that last one is beautiful. Have a splendid week, my friend.

  8. All of the ocean views you share with us bless me. My hubby is not a beach person, so good photography such as you provide is both a joy and a comfort to me.

  13. Love the squirrel! You said it perfectly about the busy days helping you to appreciate the slower days. That's what I'm feeling about the days I have at home now. Treasuring the time, made all the more special since half the week is spent at work. Have a great week, my friend!

  14. An impromptu night out for takeout at the condo sounds like a wonderful, low-key way to unwind. It's great that you're finding a good balance between getting things done and enjoying those cozy moments. Enjoy your coffee and your day of organizing. By the way the squirrel meme is hilarious.
