Coffee Talk

Morning coffee out back of the house on the patio.

That would be my answer if $1 million was riding on the correct answer

if the question is "What is your spouse's favorite beverage?"

 

This is our million dollar view

(no that's not the value of our house but we love the lookout):

These are part of my favorite outfit for the activity:

ancient (I've had them 15 years?) jammie pants with cute frolicking snowmen

and brand new slippers that were a Christmas gift from my ILs.

The slippers are very Trail of Sequins, don't you think?

 

I like my coffee with a good dose of heavy cream

and in my favorite cup. 

It was also a Christmas present, given to me two years ago

and from my best friend at work.

 

I could hardly get a clear picture with the steaming coffee

fogging up the camera lens. But there is a message inside the mug:

One day a squirrel went out looking for acorns and found a friend.

(There's a cute little mouse friend sitting on the handle.)

 

I think I was looking for acorns when I started my blog.

Imagine my delight when I found you, my bloggy friends.
Whether you visit regularly or frequently or occasionally,
and leave your thoughts often or sometimes or not at all,
I appreciate you all very much.

Thank you for spending your coffee break or
a wee moment here at my trail.

Here's to unexpected delights in 2013.

It was a rather ho-hum day when I happened to notice and
captured this glorious sunset from our backyard.

And I'm raising my favorite drink to you, my friends!
(Thanks to WMM, I learned the workaround for the latest Blogger glitch to finish this post.)

No Picture No Post

 

I'd use a screen capture for the below but, ha, I can't. This is why I continue to be MIA. :(

Sequin Trails

A year ago today, I inadvertently started my blog.

I had reserved a blog name, thinking it and the premise were kinda cute

and that maybe someday I'd have time to keep up a blog.

 

But while playing with a mock post to check the degree of difficulty,

I clicked the Publish button and well ... the blog was on.

 

In that honor and keeping with the theme,

I'm completely sequined in the zigzag sequin dress.

 

With the dress hitting this length on the legs of many who are taller,

I was hoping it would be knee length on me but alas, it is not.

 

Husby even gave encouragement for keeping it,

but I said I am no spring chicken, I'm not dressing like I'm in my 20s.

 

I may wear sequins I may wear crazy pants

I may wear goofy graphics on a tee

but I'm not doing a mini anymore.

(And don't you love the bruise on my knee where I banged into the corner of my desk?)

 

Besides, it's another for wardrobe fantasies and

I'm trying to grow up about this, with another year behind me.
