Saturday things

I'm so happy that my sister & her partner are visiting Sam today, on Family Weekend. We thought about going, but it's so close to Thanksgiving. 

I'm going for a walk this morning, making muffins & helping Nick with some college tasks. That's my to do list for the day.

Here are a few things that are making me happy right now:

  • We are having stunning fall weather. It's going to be 70 today, and the leaves & the sunshine are *chef's kiss*. It's gorgeous & makes it really fun to be outside.
  • I have amazing friends, and I've been making new friends through my workout class. I'm trying to expand my circle a bit.
  • M & I are in such a good place. We always get along well, but there's something really special about having someone who deeply knows you & supports you through ups & downs. 
  • DS17 made me laugh so hard yesterday. He's making posters for his cheerleading friends for their senior nights. The slogans he came up with (tied to the names) were hysterical, and he invested a lot of time in drawing pictures. He's a riot. I love how he supports his friends.
  • M & I are playing a lot of rummy, and have bets going. We have to track them, because so much betting is occurring that neither of us can remember who is ahead & who "owes" who. 
  • I joined a book club & am going to start reading a new book today. 
Anything you want to share that's making you happy today?

  2. Ah, you make me miss having teens around the house! One of my favorite memories is arriving home from work to find my DD's boyfriend hanging out of an upstairs window dropping parachutted eggs onto our driveway. It was a physics class experiment, but still! Lol.

    Our weather here, south of you has been gorgeous as well. We had dinner out with friends on a restaurant patio last night and it felt almost balmy.

    I'm leaving shortly for yoga on the beach, and that thought is making me very happy!

    1. Nick is such a social creature, and is really living it up his senior year. We are constantly hosting events, holding study groups, and it would be a rare week if he didn't have 1-2 nights of friends over for various purposes. We love it. It's our last hurrah.

      So glad you are also enjoying gorgeous weather. And, yoga on the beach - doesn't get much better than that! (HP)
