Family Time

Today's Beautiful Thing is a family party. We celebrated my hubby's birthday with his parents, aunt, brother & sister and their spouses and kids and my mom too. It was a nice night.

Helpful Hubby

Today's Beautiful Thing is my wonderful husband. When I got home from a 10 hour workday, he wasn't home. 10 minutes later, he showed up with dinner. I just love my man.

On the Radio

Today's Beautiful Thing is getting off work early and listening to the Randi Rhodes radio show. She's on from Noon to 3:00 PM now, so I only get to hear her on rare occasions. I miss her political passion.

Friends

Today's Beautiful Thing is a simple conversation with friends. Life can be busy and stressful and it's nice to have a few special people I can really to talk to.

Birthday Boy

Today's Beautiful Thing is my husband Abner. On this night, the 43rd anniversary of his birth, I celebrate him. He is the most Beautiful Thing in my life. Love you, hon.

Kisses

Today's Beautiful Thing is little French Bulldog kisses. Ace is especially affectionate tonight. :)

Soup in Every Pot

Today's Beautiful Thing is cooking a great big pot of pasta e fagioli soup! This weekend was cool and drizzly (Saturday) and soup sounded good. I spent the evening chopping, simmering, and stirring, which I really enjoy. It was too late to eat it by the time I was done, but we will be enjoying it this week for dinner. Yay!

Bonus Beautiful Thing: The house smells like garlic, basil, and other savory things. Mmmm, mmm, mmmmmm!
