WEDNESDAY READER | APRIL 5

Greetings friends! How's April happening? I'm enjoying the mild - warm temperatures and open windows and doors all over the house. Love the fresh air and so do the cats that reside here. They're totally lounging on the window ledges, catnapping, breathing in the April air. Smart cats! Presenting today's Wednesday Reader. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed building it. Thanks for hanging out. Appreciate it - big time. Have a grand day. See ya Friday.

WEDNESDAY READER | MARCH 8

Hello - Hello!  Happy Wednesday. I present today's Wednesday Reader for your enjoyment. Stephanie Hayes' column "Tips for Completing the Following 89 Chores in our Airbnb" is super funny. Leslie Elman's Trivia and Fascinating stuff is ... well, fascinating and interesting.  Leslie's collections are def material for making us the most interesting person in the room. Recipe for Chicken Fried Steak and Muzzleloader gravy is tried-and-true.  If you love Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy - you gotta put these in your recipe box. And the "Daffodil Principle" story is one of my favorites.  Daffodils are popping up everywhere here.  I see them and this story comes to mind.  Very cool thing. As always, thank you for being here. Have a fabulous day!

5 FOR FRIDAY | FEBRUARY 10

Happy Friday, Everybody ! Picture line up: #1 Birds of a feather flock together on feeder outside my picture window.  Check out the cool ice cycles on the other side of the "roof" of the feeder.  A little something extra fun - for sure. #2 Daymaker in action.  My friend Marky rescued/adopted little "Beanie" from a home that didn't show the love nor did they want him.  Marky was definitely a Daymaker to this little fellow! He reports that "Beanie" is living the dream now.  Bathed, fed, sleeps inside on a brand new, little dog bed (previously, had slept outside on cold concrete) and feels loved - because he is.  Hat Tip, Marky! #3 Shadow play across my dining room table. #4 Dream on Dreamer.  We all know the stories of a message in a bottle, right?  Be on the look out for a message in a window.  Spotted this one while walking by a cool little shop in a small town nearby. Annie Lane has some solid thoughts about weight loss drug "fad." Eggs on a Stack recipe.  How fun are these?  I'll tell ya, they're a lot of breakfast-on-the-weekend fun food. 5 tried-and-true songs to give a listen to... Maybe over weekend Eggs on a stack breakfast?

Now that Thanksgiving and all the great food + family time + memories are tucked away,  It's Christmastime! There are those who have called me the Queen of Christmas decorations.  I have half a storage unit full of Christmas coolness:  different colors and heights of trees, strings of lights, stunning, vintage gold balls that my great Aunt Suzy willed me, one-of-a-kind thrift store finds of retro pieces that plug in and illuminate, Hunter's sweet ornaments from when he was in K-2nd grade (priceless!) and boxes and boxes of many other treasured Christmas pieces. This year, I down sized as far as how much I put up.  Although downsized it's still super pretty and memories smile as I pass the decorations and lights throughout the house. I love this time of year.  An undeniable, irresistible magic. Here's the fun list of 12 for this grand Monday.  Enjoy!

Hello wondrous Readers. Well, Thanksgiving is just-right-over-there.  3 short days away.  Are you ready? I travel to Folsom, California to be with family.  Super looking forward to it.  My sister, Lisa, and her husband, Curtis, are hosting all 14 of us at their home. There will be smoked ham (hat tip, Chris), smoked turkey (xx Jared) and a whole lotta everything else (thanks, Jayde, Curtis, Lisa, Jennie, Mom, Cooper and moi).  Totally a family gathering in the preparation and then around the table.

Happy Halloween friends! I recall this adorable, hilarious story about my granddaughter, Elizabeth, from several years ago.  It was going to be her first trick-or-treating experience so in preparation, she went around the inside of their home and knocked on closed doors to practice her Trick-or-Treat action!

Greetings outstanding readers. I stumbled across a thought someone wrote this week that stated, "The most completely lost of all days is the one in which we have not laughed." I totally agree!  Laughter is the best medicine. Here are the 12 for this Monday.  There are laughs tucked into the line up.  Enjoy!  And keep on laughing!

Hi all ! Well tomorrow's the first official day of Autumn. I love change of seasons.  Keeps everything interesting - new weather, new wardrobe options, comfort food, get to pop open the windows and enjoy the fresh air inside when Autumn finds its way back.  Win-win.
