My Favorite Things . . .

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . these are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share!

 

Doing anything with my sister. I just love spending time with her.  We haven't had a painting day in a while. I think we need one soon!

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  BBQ Chicken, Cheddar, & Pineapple Tostadas. Simple to make. Quick.  Delicious. I know I say that all the time. But it's true.

Cindy and I both got nice haircuts yesterday.  I was happy with mine anyways.  I have an appointment to go back on Tuesday morning and see about a lash lift and tint. My eyelashes are almost invisible. Let's hope this makes a difference. I hate wearing mascara. 

Anyways, I hope that you have a beautiful day. It is sunny here again today.  Not quite as warm as yesterday. It has been cooling down really nicely nights. I like that.  Don't forget!
