1. Wicker Papasan Chair & Footstool are the newest additions to our home. You all know that Jernee commandeers my favorite chair ALL THE TIME and has laid an indefinite claim to it, so I purchased the above Papasan chair & footstool.

Prayerfully, The Little Monster will leave this one alone and let me have a space to fully relax without her taking over.

My best friend was here in March and Jernee hopped right in my chair just before I was about to sit down and my best friend said, “I don’t know why you just don’t get her another chair.” I said I wouldn’t. I even said Jernee has plenty of places where she can park her hind-end, and lo and behold, I’ve bought another piece of furniture, but solely for myself.

We’ll see how long it stays mine and only mine. Lol!


2. A Wednesday Outing is a quick photo I took of myself walking down our building’s stairs to get to my optometrist’s appointment. I took the day off to take care of my eyes and had my last therapy session with my therapist who is retiring.

My shirt (one of the very many my best friend bought . . . I rarely buy my own shirts. She loves to shop and whenever she buys something for herself, she gets me a ton of stuff, too. I’ve ceased arguing with her and telling her not to buy me anything, she’s going to do it anyway. Ain’t no need to waste my good energy. Lol) says “Loved.”, which I am.

It’s also in one of my favorite colors–red. I paired it with a white long-sleeved (I’m always cold while indoors) shirt, dark gray sweatpants, and a pair of red & black sneakers. My crossover purse is black as well.

It was a good day. And I am somewhat partial to this photo. I’m not really cheesing, but I’m smiling enough to show that I am happy, and I was having a fantastic morning.

Every Tuesday, I will share a favorite photo I’ve taken within the week with all of you. This week, it is . . . Zumi’s Home #2.

ZuZu’s lamp stand came late last week, and I put it together and placed the lamp on it. I am happy with this space! Now that everything is set up the way I want it, I can finally breathe.

Stay tuned for next Tuesday’s snapshot.

Peace and blessings

Two Things Thursday #15

1. The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom is what I am currently reading. I don’t think I need to reiterate how much I love this author. So, I won’t! Lol! The book is captivating and written in a way that allows a reader to sink in totally to every chapter.

There are morsels shared here and there and the plot builds up slowly but surely. It is mind-blowing how accurately each character develops based on the initial details a reader is given about them in the beginning.

Here is a brief synopsis of the book:

The Time Keeper is a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time.

In The Time Keeper, the inventor of the world’s first clock is punished for trying to measure God’s greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time.Mitch Albom/Books

I enjoy every moment of this book and I am happy I added this one to my Mitch Albom collection.


2. Caison’s Throw is probably going to be one of my favorite photos of my baby cousin, Caison Michael. The photo was taken by Yours Truly at his soccer game last evening. We had a blast!

He scored two goals and was such an encouraging team player!

It was the final game of the season, but I was so happy to be in attendance. With him growing up so quickly, I am taking in every event and creating lasting memories from them, too.

I’ll blink, and he’ll be an adult. I am gathering as many memories of him as I can while I can. Life is too short not to!

A Tuesday Snapshot #21

Every Tuesday, I will share a favorite photo I’ve taken within the week with all of you. This week, it is . . . Zumi’s Home.

I will share a bit more about this photo. Before this stand arrived and was assembled by yours truly, I had Zumi’s terrarium placed on my long bar counter.

It’s a bit of a reach for me to get to every day and night, so I ordered this aluminum stand, put it together, and placed ZuZu’s terrarium and necessities on it. I like this setup much better!

Stay tuned for next Tuesday’s snapshot.
