I haven’t mentioned this to you my Dear Readers, but

I’ve been searching for months for a dress to wear to the church service and reunion dinner

On our Ireland trip….

With less than two weeks to go I had to stop playing around..

And the winner is this lace number from Metrostyle…

It met with DH’s approval , so now just keeping my fingers crossed that it fits right!  

Here’s my outfit of the day…

Wide leg linen pants and polk a dot sweater.

I’ve never worn this sweater without a top underneath,

but with today’s temps it  helped to again fake Fall..

When asking a 14 year old to take photos, 

you get an askew necklace and purse…

I am wearing my Ying/Yang Necklace and the purse if from Just Fab.

That’s the first time I thought to add the link for my necklace…

This purse is the one I’ve chosen to take on my Ireland Trip…

Not that I carry purses while site seeing on vacation, 

as I usually stuff a few items in my husband’s pocket and forgo lugging a purse..

Dear Readers, I loved the ease of these pants and this outfit and it is a big contender for my train ride 

from our local area to NY where we will spend a fun night before heading off to Ireland…

Gratitude

I am grateful for the phone call from my daughter today , who just needed compassion

as she struggles with graduate school and the reverse schedule of having late afternoon and night classes…

I am grateful for leftovers for dinner with a late starting homeschooling day. 

I am grateful that my son is doing well with the new home-school program.

I am grateful my husband is pushing me to walk nightly cause my resolve some days isn’t strong. 

I am grateful my husband is getting excited about the Ireland trip and researching online things to do.
