Living in Canada (yet close to the USA border for day trips) Girl Scout Thin Mint Pretzels (Found them at BJ Wholesale Club) the beauty of quilting fabric Those pretzels are so good. I bought some at Costco. I forgot to look for more when I went the last time. I highly recommend them. BUT ... Did you find the granular Girl Scout Thin Mint where the seasoning are? Put this into pancakes, muffins, hey, eat with a spoon!

Right now I really like the new bag I got for summer - it’s a perfect size and I like the fun, summery strap, I also love a lobster sweater I bought (lol) and I discovered a delicious salad with chicken sold down the street from me. Where did you get this cute purse?

Ohhhhh neat thread!n Here's my list:
Ice tea sweetened with Lankanto Monkfruit Drops - Helps me still have my good sweet tea, but without the sugar! Tastes, "just right"
My new office / craft area in the basement - I'm taking over the whole living room area in the basement to spread out all my stuff. I still have so much work to do to get it ready. Like unpacking and sorting through YEARS of boxes of junk! But it's usable now! We turned my old computer room into a guest room with two beds for when we have people stay over. It's awesome too!
My embroidery sewing machine, digitizing software and drawing tablet (I know that's three things right there, but I use them all together to make gifts for people I love!)

LOL, ~summer~ , one of my current faves is also a bag: this bag I treated myself to from Portland Leather. I used on my recent vacation and it was perfect! Also: my hundreds of vacation photos that I'm reminiscing through to relive the vacation memories, and being reunited with my sweet kitty after 3 weeks away. You enabler! I bought the navy one. I really need a good crossbody bag. My favorite things right now: The peace and quiet until my grandson moves back in with me for hockey on 8/21. Buying myself flowers most weeks. Having my own craft area with enough space for my stuff. LOL, the one I have is navy as well - I just love it! I bought the one with a zipper closure because I just can't do open top totes.

Hummingbirds! Cheap water bottle that a friend was going to toss. Just the right size and easy to drink from. Tyson frozen chicken strips from Costco. Never bought them before, but they are an easy way to add some protein to a salad or put into a wrap.

I enjoy it too but sometimes they're specifically American things and they catch me out! This American often doesn't know what some of those groups are at all. I do enjoy playing it though.

1. A hooded hair dryer that I bought for $50 at a garage sale in June. It was used a couple times by my husband’s coworker. It’s on a stand with wheels and would retail for over $125. I have a comfy chair in front of it in the corner of my bedroom. In addition to drying my hair, my daughter and I do heated hair mask. It is quite wonderful.
2. SodaStream - have had it about 3 weeks and love it. My husband is terrible about drinking enough water, but if I charge up some water and add a little squeeze of Crystal Light flavoring, he will happily drink it.
3. My Gap overalls - classic 90s style. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. I will never get rid of them.

The view from our lounge window. Our new mattress. The scent of the buddleia flowers outside the front door. Can I ask where you got your new mattress/what make it is? It's this Eve mattress and we got it in the Black Friday sales last year. Our old one was from Singapore in 2005 so we were very much in need of a change. DH sleeps like a baby now. I sleep better - still not great since peri-menopause, but that's not the fault of the mattress!

Ours was from Eve, but it came with a 1 year satisfaction guarantee. If you didn't get on with it within the year, they'd take it back. Have you tried putting a memory foam topper on it?

1. The shoes I wore today, a classic nude pump that fit perfectly and was comfortable through an 8 h work day (from Inez, I highly recommend) 2. The fact my husband brings me coffee in bed very morning, except now I’m spoiled and can’t start my day any other way 3. Connections from NYT, I have fun figuring it out each morning while I drink my coffee Numbers two and three make you my sister from another Mr! I’m drinking coffee in bed right now, delivered each morning by my dear husband, and about to play morning Connections. (I get silly satisfaction each time I get all four correct with no errors.)

Going to the farmers market and just picking out any random vegetables thanks to inspiration from that show "Cooking in France" (I don't normally watch tv but this show is great The pretty cardinal that keeps visiting my backyard when I'm outside. Every time he comes I talk to Esther. I know it sounds stupid, but I feel like it is her spirit. I did that recently at our local farmers market. Bought tiny eggplants, yellow plums so small they looked like patio tomatoes, four kinds of mushrooms I’d never seen before, and tiny squashes. And…..I do the same with the red winged blackbird my dad loved so much. He called it the sergeant major.

1) Smartfood white cheddar popcorn
2) mowing the lawn on our zero-turn mower. DH is on bed rest for the summer so I had to learn how to drive the mower. First couple of times were terrifying but now I LOVE it. I want to mow everyone’s lawn, lol!
3) summer watermelon

1. My new Audible subscription. I love listening to a podcast as I work around the house. I am currently listening to Crime Junkie. I also listen to books, but I’m enjoying the Crime Junkie podcasts more. I don’t have my TVs or stereo set up yet so the house is just too darned quiet for me without something to listen to.
2. Goes with the Audible subscription, my new Bluetooth earphones. They are so comfortable that I forget that I have them on and accidentally got into the shower with them one morning. They have a soft rubber piece that goes behind your ear like a pair of glasses that keep them in place all day. Previous earphones kept falling out. And they were only $30!
3. My dog’s habit of snuggling up to me at night. He will play around on the bed for a while but when he is ready to go to sleep, he comes up and leans up against my back. I sleep on my side so he snuggles himself up against my back and stays like that all night long. It actually feels very cozy.

The new automatic drip watering system that my daughter set up for our hanging baskets and pots.
Chocolate with chocolate cruncy coating Yasso yogurt bars.
Central air in our home (I know, I know, it's only in the high 70's to low 80's here now and that's moderate to a lot of you but this Washingtonian can't STAND to be hot!)

1. The bulbs in the garden are flowering and look wonderful.
2. Spending time quilting - I am making a quilt for DD for her birthday - it is taking me awhile.
3. Our RV which, because it is winter here, is not getting the use we really wanted. Roll on spring.
