I LOVE hearing Thomas in his room having his piano lesson every Monday. I’m so freaking happy he’s getting to do this. ❤️❤️❤️

I tried to capture the amazing view from the swimming pool. I am so deeply grateful that I get to experience this, gratitude so immense it swallows me whole. Had a lovely swim this morning. My Pisces soul is in water heaven.

My virgin Bloody Mary is lit! 🔥😂 It’s been since last December or January since we’ve been to visit The Romano Duo. Frank always makes me one of these when we visit. I finally got tired of waiting until we can visit again, so I made my own. 😋 Plus, we just got these cool Halloween lights today! Now to figure out where to use them!

I made panang curry for myself last night. Took me a while to find a vegan panang curry paste. It’s really good! However, there’s something missing. Doesn’t have any heat to it. Had to buy a package of 6, so I’ve got plenty to experiment with.

My kind of breakfast. So much satisfying. When I have fresh, good-tasting tomatoes (or maters, as my mammaw called them), I’ll have those instead of fresh fruit. Deeply pleasing.

I happen to have some 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th graders in my charge a few weeks ago. Besides some of the students being adamant that I’m 15-20 years younger than I am, I was quite the experience for them! HA! Had them do a wordle for their favorite book, movie or hobby, gave them a mini lesson on blogging, and had them do some breathing and yoga!
Overheard one young man telling another that he uses cuss words. I asked him if he liked using them and how it made him feel. He said he didn’t but people made him so mad. I suggested to him that we are the only one’s in charge of what comes out of our mouth and it is always our choice how we respond to others. No one can truly make us mad. Anger is a choice we make for ourselves. Here’s one of the wordles. Cool!

Not as beautiful as cloud photos … Yet, heavenly for the taste buds. Coconut Bliss Sweet Cherry Amaretto, that’s some good stuff.
