There is so much plaid being seen this season

and the easiest way to incorporate it is through a scarf! 

Linking up today with Style Elixir

My facial expressions are not the norm here as it was hard to pose with roofers

next door watching me and thinking their funny by making comments!

I found this plaid scarf on Ebay

The green paisley skinny cords are identical to the burgundy ones I  showed yesterday. 

The jacket, top , boots and purse are all from last season. 

I’ve quite often paired brown and green together,but this scarf really changes this color combo !

My husband said he liked how I could take those colors and look like Christmas with the addition of the scarf.

These boots I picked up from BJ’s last year really are the perfect Mom on the Go boots.

Dear Readers, I was delighted when I put these pants on , as the first thing I noticed was that they weren’t as tight as the last time I had worn them.  That makes sense, since I have lost five pounds since then!  I am so counting the days unitl I earn my Weight Watcher Lifetime status and reveal to you my Before and After photos.  Just two more weeks….

Gratitude

I am grateful that the meds we pumped into my husband helped him to feel better, as he is fighting off a cold, not good when starting a new venture! 

I am grateful that my husband’s day didn’t start until noon today, allowing time for the meds to get in his system.

I am grateful that my husband will no longer be outside in rain and cold at night with lights strapped to his head and “Hot Hands” to help keep him warm, 

I am grateful for my now 18 year old son, who placed treats for his Dad in the front seat of his van for him to find this morning.  (My husband began doing this for our kids many years ago and he loves to reciprocate and always leaves a very creatively drawn message for his father) 

I am grateful that my husband has reinstated a much forgotten tradition of reading books to all of us at night. Frist book up is “Enders Game”   (I’d almost forgotten this , but he didn’t , the first of many advantages to his new venture!)
