Cream in my coffee

The little luxuries of life for me include cream in my coffee. Our family returned from vacation and we had leftover whipping cream that must have been purchased for some recipe. All I know is that I chilled a stainless steel mixing bowl and whipped up the cream and mmm mmm good. This home made cream is so delicious that every sip of coffee with this cream makes me feel like I am in a French café and as the sun is rising even as I write, I am well, is this heaven?

Housy Frowsy Weekend

Joe and I had a productive housy frowsy weekend as I like to call it. We purged closets, the root cellar, went through paperwork, wrote thank you and condolence notes, prepared photos to be mailed, hosted a bbq with 2 good friends and just stayed around the house. We have been on the go for so many months that just staying home felt good. In fact so good that I feel completely refreshed, ready for a productive work week, doing more for the St. Vincent de Paul Society and any other service opportunities that come along. With a delicious North Carolina pulled pork roast on the grill, I sit here writing in my blog and find that taking time for me has generated renewed commitment and love for others. World here I come.
