These are a few of my favorite things...

 

It's a stormy day in March so I'm dreaming about some of my favorite things. My most recent find is Coconut Body Butter from Trader Joe's. Just one whiff of this creamy concoction transports me to a tropical beach.Think "Pink Sands" in Bermuda, turquoise water in St.John or a shell laden beach in Sanibel. Ahhh!

I've been thinking...

about how much I dislike the term "bucket list".  So, I've decided to create my own kind of bucket but it will be the type that is chock full of wonderful experiences and memories shared with those I love and it has nothing to do with "kicking it". I have a couple of those events planned already which include our trip to St. John, USVI while on our Allure cruise and a visit to Discovery Cove in Orlando in October.

I'm counting the days and making the days count!

Wishing for a wonderful year
filled with discovery and happiness.

Thought for Today

hearts are conscious of our treasures"

We Need a Little Christmas!

Our goal for  today was to decorate our Christmas tree which has been displayed for more than a week. The trains started their run last week for the enjoyment of the boys and thanks to Gary. I'm happy to say we reached the goal and our tree looks beautiful! It may be short and sweet but that's OK because it helped put me in the Christmas spirit.

The decorating has begun.

The pic is a little blurry but that's because the tree is turning.

Less is More!

My simple thought for today.

Lucky at the Library!!!!!

Today marked the start of the bi-annual Cherry Hill Friends of the Library Book Sale. I always score big at this sale which is the best in our area but today I did especially well! I bought 17 books and 1CD (The Carpenters Christmas) for $21.00. Included in my stash are travel, cooking, kid's, novels, and self-enrichment just to name a few.

I love books and I'm happy to contribute to a great cause!
