I Love Weekends!

The first thing I love about the weekend is it means two cups of coffee while still in my pajamas and that Mark does the morning chores. During the week I do morning chores because I leave for work later than him. He does the evening chores while I cook dinner.

After coffee on Saturday morning we make our weekend to do list on the big white board in our kitchen. There is something very satisfying about erasing chores completed off that list. When I finally get dressed it's into my favorite jeans with ripped out knees. Not the ripped jeans you buy in the store, no these are  genuinely homemade from wear. Then I wear one of my favorite (too large for me sweatshirts). Either the red one that someone left at our house forever ago or one that says Beer is Good, and if you know me than you know I hate beer & never drink it.

Then it's outside we go. Today was sunny & warm. I really can't believe it's mid November.We made a pretty good dent on our list, good thing we have one more day left and it's suppose to be as nice as today.

Hope you enjoy your weekend, and make sure to get outside!!!

My Top Ten Thankful List


·       For being a Mom. It's the best job, the most challenging, and the most rewarding.

·        Our three beautiful, unique, and loving daughters. They are my whole life.

·        My husband of 20 years. I've spent more of my life with him than without him. We've built our life together, share the same dreams, and support each other.

·        My family (My Brothers, Sister, Brother & sister in laws, Nieces, and Nephews ). I can always depend on them, and know they love me as much as I love them.

·        My friends. I don't get to see them or spend much time with them, but when we do we have a blast. You know who you are and that I am only a phone call away.

·        My animals. They give me great joy, and plenty of hard work (keep me in shape)!

·        That I live in Vermont.

·        For the good health of myself & my family.

·        That we are able to raise and grow our own food. I love providing for ourselves.

·        That I am happy, and have a great life!
