I seem to have a much easier time in warmer months,

to embrace my Boho side… but today was just in a mood to break that out…

I thought this thrifted sheer tunic would be a good start…

I layered my Steampunk style necklace with floral and wooden beads chain.  

Leggings, riding boots and a comfy sweater complete the look and satisfied my boho desire for the day..

My hair actually started of looking nice…

The windy day tousled it about for the rest of the photo shoot…

After taking photos I headed for a walk to the store to get groceries

to satisfy my son’s dinner request for tomorrow..

I added a brown bucket style hat and kept it on the rest of the day,

feeling even more bohemian..

I layered the sheer tunic over a dark brown tunic top for extra warmth…

I really like wearing cozy sweaters especially when we have major temperature swings…

Yesterday it was 74, today 47… 

Dear Readers, this last week with my college children is all about making their favorite meals…Today was fulfilling my daughter’s love of bacon with my Barbecue chicken, bacon, tomato and cheddar sandwiches ( I actually eat mine without the roll)  and tomorrow is my son’s request for Calzones-two types.. one with Ricotta, Mozzarella and Parmesan and the second one with ham slices, sauteed onions and Sharp Cheddar… I learned how to make these from an Italian mother of one of my husband’s high school classmates about 23 years ago.. I don’t make them often, which makes them even more special. 

I am hoping my oldest, who is a Pescetarian, will join us for the cheese version..

Gratitude

I am grateful that my children have tasked me with making their comfort foods this last week of their vacation. 

I am grateful that my son noticed how much I am running the dishwasher with them all home, and suggested next time they are all there, that I go to paper plates and cups…

I must add that everyone has pitched in with dishwasher and is not just leaving it all to me and for that I am grateful.

I am grateful that my husband’s  company appreciates him and his work abilities and ethics.  He actually had the crew working a 13 hour Sunday to install 3 of his jobs… they normally have Sunday off.. 

I am grateful that the owner of his company was in awe of his last year’s sales numbers and has challenged him with a full year in the field to sell a million dollars ( it’s doable based on his past and current progress and the challenge is something that works well for my husband)
