Done!

Today's Beautiful Thing is getting all my work done. I thought I was going to have to work on Saturday, but not now. Yay!

Health

Today's Beautiful Thing is something I often take for granted--my health. I took my mom to the doctor today and I saw people walking with walkers, waiting to see the doctor, bandaged and bruised, etc. and I realized how truly lucky I am to be healthy and to have health insurance. The saying "without your health you have nothing" is absolutely true.

Help! I need somebody...

Today's Beautiful Thing is being able to help my mom when she needs it. I feel so lucky that she lives close to me and I can help her from time to time.

In the cool, cool, cool of the evening...

Today's Beautiful Thing is a cool night with a nice breeze after a long, hot summer day. Ahhh...

Rolling with the Punches

Today's Beautiful Thing is our little Ace. Hubby told me that he learned a lot from him lately--and he's right. His allergies have been terrible, so he had to wear an e-collar (AKA the cone) so he wouldn't scratch his face and make it worse. The funny thing is, he didn't let it get him down. He was as perky and playful as he always was, collar or not. We should all try to be a bit more like Ace.

Blooms

Today's Beautiful Thing is our front yard garden! We visited a local nursery and bought two flats of flowers and then we went home and planted them all. Our garden is so colorful and it's going to look even better in a couple or weeks when it fills in.

Date Night

Today's Beautiful Thing is date night. Hubby and I have been together nearly 25 years, but I still love going to our favorite antique stores, lunch out, movies and pizza. All those simple things we did when we were dating. :)
