not really having much to say these days or maybe just having a hard time coming up with the words... so here is just a small look into my world and my small moments...
wondering how this got on the roof....
just the back screen-door...love that we have one...reminds me of childhood where you ran out the door and it slammed shut!
our pile of shoes by the door...wish it was better organized ...but it's not
because sometimes she has to clean up her own messes
my feet...i love this color!
outside from bedroom...we really should clean these windows!
me...realizing you all have seen this shirt before and this mirror is very dirty!
kitchen wall..
we often want to throw food out this window and see if it will stick to the roof next door...
office window...these curtains remind me of a beach cottage....i can dream!

times spent with friends ~ chatting the night away, walks with dogs, stopping for coffee and sitting outside to soak up the sun because we can, remembering the good ol days, drinks on the patio and laughter so hard we're crying....the best medicine for anything is being with good friends!

this week I've been off from work ~ enjoying time with Kadison, breathing, getting my life a bit back in order since all the family has left ..visiting with friends and taking a stroll with little Ben.
Ben and I headed out for a beautiful walk so Andrea could get some stuff done and it was as much a treat for me as it was for her. Walking around in a new neighborhood, not knowing which way to go or what I was going to see I just walked and it felt so good! Ben asleep in his stroller and me just seeing the world around me.
All the beautiful gardens, and cozy cottages all nestled in quaint Berkeley neighborhoods. We walked for almost 2 hours and I couldn't of been more relaxed and rested. Walking in silence is one of the best things to do ...
I need to get rid of the story that I can't have these kinds of walks all the time...carving out a bit of time every day isn't so hard...so why make it hard to do!? Here is where I gid rid of the story...and here is where I start taking these kinds of walks...and maybe picking up Ben for a walk every now and then will be a treat for us all!
When we got back Andrea was rejuvinated by all the things she accomplished and so was I.
A beautiful ending to a much needed week off.
