I smell cinnamon rolls

Dennis made cinnamon rolls for breakfast while I was still in bed.  Once they were done he came in the bedroom and kept saying:  

Dennis:  Come on….Get up….Come on.

Me: I am…. Stop talking to me like I’m a dog! 🤣

Dennis: I’m not!  😘 I’m talking to you like my beautiful wife!

Good save Dennis!

Think of me

Today while working my granddaughter Sammi brought me a present. 

But the story goes back further after all who wants a one line story? Couple weeks ago I made blankets for all the grandkids. I realized that I had made Sammi‘s blanket like the boys and I didn’t want her to be the only girl that didn’t have the fluffy blanket. So I bought new material and I made her a second blanket. That left me with not knowing what to do with her first blanket. I thought about giving it to Evelyn so she would have a blanket and a pillow for naptime at daycare but… I had picked out this material specifically for Sammi, it was purple with unicorns and rainbows and stars and snowflakes. All the things she seems to like. When I make the blankets I think of the child I’m making it for and the whole time I made that blanket I was thinking of Sammi so it only seems right that I gave it to her even though that would mean she had two blankets this year . So I took it to work today and when she got home from school I asked her to come to the front office and I gave her the blanket and she loved it. She went back to her class dug around in her backpack came back to me and gave me this bracelet. She said that it was Christmas time and you’re supposed to buy gifts for your family and she had bought me this at school.  She told me it’s a mermaid and when you see her think of me. This rubber bracelet will find a home either on my wrist or in my jewelry box for years to come. What a special and meaningful gift.

Who Needs Netflix!

 I have a library in my home.  <see photo>

It's awesome and cozy.  It has the right amount of light.  Has an awesome chair!  It's full of books and...

 it's seldom used.  

I am the type of reader that once I start a book... I don't want to put it down for hours.  I have been known to read them cover to cover and not sleep at night.  But I am always having things that I need to do, so who has hours to read?  

Not a business owner for sure!!

However, I have discovered the world of Audible books and have been downloading books from Amazon left and right!  I counted the number of books I have listened too, just in the last 6 months. 

********Drum Roll*******

TWENTY SEVEN!!

I clean the pool... in goes the headphones.

I clean the kitchen... in goes the headphones.

I craft, sew, cross-stitch, clean the house, go shopping, travel... wait at the doctors office or get my nails done... in goes the headphones!  I am not behind in my home projects....  NOPE!  I just listen to a book and stay busy the whole time!  

I have listened to entire series of books by Authors that took them years to write.  Just finished a series with 3 installments and each book was over 18 hours of listening pleasure!

I'm telling you there is an endless supply of great books out there, I have only scratched the service!

With a great pair of Airpod Pros with noise cancellation... I am forever in a different place!
