the vintage box

beauty in simplicity 

Outside my window there are random street noises and the occasional conversation as friends meet each other

I am thinking about the gift of relationships and how they all take work and commitment

I am thankful for my husband and his faithfulness to me. And for the fan that creates a breeze on this humid day!

From the kitchen, there are cooling racks filled with cookies, potatoes and eggs to be made into a potato salad and shortcakes ready to be filled with strawberries and cream

I am wearing my favorite jeans and pink t-shirt

I am creating beauty and memories

I am going on a picnic tonight with good friends, by the lake, in the cool of the evening

I am reading The Baby Whisperer

I am hearing sweet baby noises from Kilmeny's playpen.

Around the house...coral daisy in jar, white duvet on bed, stacks of library books

One of my favorite things:  morning run made extra early by a little Miss who was wide awake at 5:48, we joined the crowd of dog walkers and the faithful runners in pounding the track

A few plans for the rest of the week: reading, picture sorting, memory making, library vists, conversations with family

Here is a picture for thought I am sharing...our salad from last night. I had prepared it and called Jared over to look at it before we dished up the beauty. He took a picture of it for me. Isn't he sweet? :-)
