Warm


Today's Beautiful Thing is a hot, upside down, non-fat, caramel macchiato on a rainy Saturday morning. I was all warm and ready to work after my first sip. Yum!

He's Back!


Today's Beautiful Thing is our wonderful vet. He had shoulder surgery in December and is finally back in the office and seeing furry patients. Ace & Lulu had an appointment today. Looks like Lulu will need knee surgery again (no surprise) so we scheduled that. (It might be just an adjustment, so that won't be too bad.) Ace doesn't need surgery (thank God) just more rest and the occasional meds if he strains his back again. We all feel so much better now that Dr. C is back.

Playing


Today's Beautiful Thing is playing with a new friend. Today a character came to me in bits and pieces. I am having fun getting to know her and figuring out what her story is. One thing I do know is that she has an English Bulldog. A bigger version of little Bubba pictured here. (A mini Bulldog we almost rescued but he didn't get along with Lulu). I can't wait to see what she tells me in the days and weeks ahead.

Old Favorites


Today's Beautiful Thing is rereading one of my favorite books, the Saving Graces by Patricia Gaffney. I adore this story, these characters. Someday, I hope to write a novel 1/10th as good. If I can do that, I'll consider myself a success.

Laughter


Today's Beautiful Thing is laughter. After a long, tiring day, there's nothing better than coming home to a man who makes me laugh. I just love my guy.
(Pictured: The man of whom I speak, makes our niece laugh on a regular basis as well. Looks like she takes after him, eh?)

Connecting


Today's Beautiful Thing is reconnecting with friends. We're planning a get-together. I miss my girls! :)

King & Queen of the World!


Today's Beautiful Thing is the quiet restaurants and stores and light traffic on Superbowl Sunday. The hubby and I don't watch, so we enjoy going places on this day, when we get great service and don't have to fight the crowds. :)
