Monday Morning Coffee

 


Hello, my friends! Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was cozy and calm. Or busy and fun. But mostly, I hope it was safe. Prayers for all affected by the hurricane and for those yet to be. I managed to get myself in gear Saturday and give the downstairs a good cleaning. I used to do weekly cleaning according to a schedule. Good for 30-year-old me! 51-year-old me doesn't seem to mind some dust bunnies on the floor and toothpaste splatter on the mirror. After that, I pulled out the fall bins and added some warm autumn touches to our home. It was rainy outside, so it seemed a bit more fitting even though it was an August afternoon. What else did our weekend include? Some of this...



Yes. That would be me. On a jetski. Who knew??
For the record, I enjoyed it. Didn't love it. Don't feel the need to do it again. Swimming is outdoorsy enough for me. The rest of the weekend was more like this...




Much more my speed. Today I am going to get to work on Flynn's curriculum. For 6th Grade! I always order her books and manuals in May, so I have them. Now to open them and get planning. I always love this time of year. Steve and Madison made dinner last night. Meatloaf and macaroni and cheese! We have enough leftover for tonight and will add some fresh sweet corn, so no cooking for this girl! I hope you have a good day, my friends. September is almost here!

  1. It sounds like you had a nice weekend. I'm not remotely an outdoor girl either. I made homemade pizza (with store bought dough) for dinner last night and it was really good. I also whipped up a pan of brownies with frosting - also, very good. I'm getting excited for the holidays and I can't wait to pull out my fall garland and pumpkins very soon! Have a good day!

  2. Darling photos of your pups on that sweet fall blanket. I don't like to wish time away, but I'm so looking forward to Fall. It will be fun to bring out all the decor to put me in a better mood. Have a nice evening.

  4. Wait, what? 6th grade? Oh my goodness, smiles. Still humid here in western NY. I am going to change things out here today. I hope you have a beautiful day, friend.

  5. Your Fall touches are charming. And your doggy seems to like those warm blankets. Flynn starts 6th grade! That was a good year for me. Your meat loaf and macaroni and cheese sounds delicious. So nice to have leftovers too. And your Charlie Brown cup is so delightful.

    I hope the September days are cool outside and warm and cozy inside, Billi Jo. : )

  8. Hello Lovie!
    Your blog is looking so cozy and Fallish - LOVE it! Playing catch up as getting to computer time late this week. Lots of extra volunteering in hospice these days. They are so short and need the help. Go girl on the jet ski! Love it! The first time I was on one I was pregnant with Aaron and I didn't know Ad was going to go when he did so i wasn't holding on and flipped off the back. It was true funniest videos moment. 😆
    Love all the cozy here - school starting, Fall feeling everywhere. And i'm here for it! 🍁 🎃
