I agree...
One of my favorite things to do is sit outside in the morning with a cup of hot coffee and watch the sun come up over the lake...or glorified pond right now!
My chairs are inexpensive...but it is a priceless "high!"

Oh, the beach...I wish I could retire right now! One of my "natural" highs is to sit in a quiet classroom. I love the peaceful, non-cacophonus atmosphere!

loved this.

And girl I am so sorry I haven't been by in a while. It's been a little crazy. I had no idea about the fire. I am so glad you and the z-man are ok.

This is the best "look" yet for your blog! Hey there...I'm back from my snot-filled vay-cay, and ready to rumble! What's the status on your house and the clean-up? Why is that Z-man so darn cute? Any thoughts on doing another Pop'rs video for moi? Happy Sunday!

Hey, BTW, I'm giving away an actual PRIZE for Sx3 today...come play along!

Jennifer said...

Those are all great! But can I have a vanilla malt instead of a shake?

It is amazing how excited I get over finding money in my pocket! And even better than "someone" playing with my hair, is my Baby K running her fingers through it or twirling it around her finger while I am holding her.

But I swear the best natural high is after a long day at work, and my babies curl up in my lap to cuddle "wif" their mommy. I so love my cuddle time. And I am thrilled that I have cuddlers.

Happy Day to you and Z!
