Friday favorites: simple pleasures
It’s true that our lives are made up, not so much of big, momentous occasions, but more of many small moments strung together. It’s been a week of simple pleasures for me.
Starting with this impressive cloud display and the heavy rains that followed. It’s been a while since we’ve had rain like that around here.
That smile. I think the pajamas were a hit, Mom! I love soaking up the energy of so many enthusiastic children…and then I love the beautiful silence afterwards.
I hope you’ll forgive the sub-par photography, but I was just so happy to find my favorite basic black sweater that had gone missing more than a month ago. Welcome home. (Actually, it was hanging in the back of the coat closet all along.)
I finally checked out the new Macy’s down the street from my office. I’ve been admiring their big, beautiful flag for the last couple of weeks.
And their pumpkin display made me smile.
Speaking of pumpkins, for this week’s pumpkin tasting, I doubled up–pumpkin seeds…
…and–you knew it was coming–pumpkin spice latte!
I have to admit it tasted even better in a cute owl cup.
That’s it for me. What were the highlights of your week?
I told myself that I had to wait until Sunday (October 1) to put up my Halloween and fall decorations. Then I told myself I could cheat and do it today. That was my highlight. ?
Good for you Janis! Happy extended Halloween season! ?
Drinks always taste better in a cute cup! I loved reading about your simple pleasures. Welcome home black sweater!!
So true, Donna. I love my holiday mugs.
Ah.. pumpkins.., which reminds me of preparing again all the materials needed for my kids trick or treat and other Halloween activities.

I remember those days. Now I get to sit back and enjoy!
