Monday Morning Coffee

 

Good Monday morning! I am enjoying my first cup of coffee on the deck this morning, listening to the birds have quite a conversation. Yesterday was so warm, yet today I am actually using a throw blanket out here because it is chilly! I have already taken my morning walk with Mocha, finished my obligatory glass of water, and said my morning prayers. Later I will get cleaned up, have something to eat, and work on homeschool with Flynn. 

Speaking of Flynn, she worked on Saturday, and her pup Marty sat and watched for her all afternoon. Flynn is enjoying her new job at the smoothie place, and on Saturday she got a taste of Saturdays in a beach town! She said they were so busy! After work, we picked her up and headed to church. After a lovely Mass, we headed to the beach, where I sat and read my book while watching the waves. That is something I never tire of. 

Even though we are entering the summer season, when our town comes alive with people enjoying the beauty of the ocean, the beach is rarely crowded in the evening. For us, it is the perfect time to sit in the sand and watch the waves. Steve went to Jersey Mike's and brought back subs, and we ate dinner right on the beach. Fun and easy cleanup! 

Yesterday was quiet around here. I did some meal prep for the week, finished the laundry, and worked in my planner. Flynn requested Ramen for dinner soon, so yesterday I got all the ingredients, and last night she and I made dinner. Actually, Flynn made the dinner. I simply chopped all the vegetables. It was delicious! It is actually a Weight Watchers recipe. So fresh, so good, and so easy. I will share the recipe below.

This morning I was up with the sun, brushed my teeth, laced my sneakers, and headed out with Mocha. It was cloudy and windy, but we did see some sights along the way.

And lastly, I was so happy and excited to receive a real piece of mail from my sweet blog friend, Debbie! Debbie's beautiful blog is right here at Millie's Cozy Cottage Life, and I am so happy to have met her here. Her posts are always fun, inspirational, and yes, cozy. 

Have a wonderful Monday, my friends! Thanks for visiting.
