I am not the only one who loves a maxi skirt this time of year…

I saw a lot of women in them in the past few days, they are literally

Everywhere!

I love this very simple lightweight one in pinks, reds and purples…with a simple robe belt to gather the waist…

Truth be told, I can’t remember where I ordered this one from…

Note to self , when in a maxi that cute signature bent leg pose doesn’t work….

I had a wonderful day spent with my best friend celebrating her daughter’s 8th birthday….

It was a long, but fun day!  

Dear Readers, I am loving the flats this season and in particular the big trend of Birki’s!

It was a long day, but comfortable shoes really help! 

Have you embraced the flat sandals trend ????

Gratitude

I am grateful for all who serve in our military and fight for democracy and my right to freedoms and pray in rememberance of those we’ve lost and the  families who mourn them. 

I am grateful that my family and I spent an entire day with my firend and her daughter making wonderful memories as we always do when we are together.

I am grateful that my dog survived the long day home alone without messing up the house…

I am grateful to all those who helped today when our van wouldn’t start, begiinning with the minister of my freind’s church, the two men who ran over from 7-11 to help us push when it died again just short of the auto parts store, the police officer who happened upon us and stayed behind us as we pushed it with his lights flashing, the people who stopped just to talk to my husband and ask what was up and cheer him on….

I am grateful we were near an auto part store when it died the second time and after a new batter purchase,we were on our way with no other problems for the day….

I am grateful to my husband for his matter of fact handling of the situation and for not being one of those men who get all hot and bothered…
