Simple Pleasures

Over a year ago, when life was without all this marxist rioting and hatred for our country (What is happening now, July 2020, is wrong and all this violence will not help anyone or anything.). When one can go outside without having to wear a muzzle around our face. When people for the most part minded their business. I pray to God daily that He brings our country back to peaceful times.

May 2019
I love trees and the life saving shade they provide. On this day last year Riley had no school due to a waiver day so I brought him to this park. It's a very pretty park but it does get crowded. Glad that this section of it was peaceful.

We get some very warm days in the PNW believe it or not. During these days we were having mid to high 80 degree days. The "beaches" and parks are crowded and it takes one forever to find parking.

While Riley's at school and I'm by myself I like to shop for books at bargain stores. I realize I have several books by J.A. Jance and to tell you the truth I have yet to read one. I have many books at home that I haven't had the chance to. I'll read one at some point.
Sophie and Lila usually photo bomb pictures that I take of my books. That's all right because cats and books just happen to go so well together.

Lila looking so cute. My daughter would have a cow if I would let Lila go out on our porch like this. I obviously let her out while my daughter was at work.

I'm pretty sure Sophie was eyeing a bird. Just look how pretty she looks. Such a model cat.

My daughter with her bratty cat. Even with her Lila wants down. Funny how cats have such different temperaments. Lila hardly likes to be held and when she is held it's only for a few minutes. She's definitely not the cuddly type. I wonder if that's a breed trait because if it is I'm going to make sure not to get a cat like that!

My peonies ... I love this gorgeous flower! Look how many there are just from two plants.

As soon as a cloudy day comes back I rejoice. I love making my home feel cozy by lighting candles and this atmosphere makes me want to watch scary movies while I blog. This for me brings joy.

Lila has a slight form of exotropia, a type of strabismus. Some days are more obvious than others. My daughter calls her IT when it's really obvious, lol!!!

Look at this girl. I'm sure that can't possibly be comfortable but cats are weird like that. That's what makes them so unique and funny.

My favorite seafood of all time is dungeness crab. At first I thought that we had gone out to eat but as I looked closer I realized that the plate looked familiar and I also recognized the placemat. I was like, hey, it's our home. LOL. Obviously, I didn't cook it, my husband did. Amazing right?!

I sure miss the farmer's market because that's where I get these delicious chicken nachos and this refreshing Mexican lemonade.

Just look at her! Isn't she the prettiest calico ever?!!!

I'm extremely thankful for all the things God has blessed me with. Especially a healthy body which allows me to enjoy life to the fullest. Thank you Father.

Simple pleasures brings joy to one's life.
