 It's Friday and here are some of the things I've been loving lately.

We were away last week in Orlando and before we left I planned my outfits with photos to help me remember the combos. It was helpful to see them all together like this in a collage.  Did I wear them all..you'll have to wait and see!

I planted flower seeds this year and the nasturtiums have taken off. Here they are in May...

....and now June. I have a few flowers already.  There is also a zinnia in there. I can't wait to see more flowers.

Speaking of flowers, my perennial pots really exploded while we were away!

Willow is enjoying her cat grass from City Girl #2.  She gave me some seeds and it grew quickly. Munch munch says Willow.

Speaking of munching...I made these Protein Reeses Cup Treats into bars. So much easier and I can control the size.  I didn't have enough rolled oats so I subbed in some crispy rice cereal and flaked coconut.  I also added PB Fit as some of the protein powder.    They are flexible!

I found these vintage chairs on FB Marketplace for CG #2 and she loved them when I sent her the listing.  We drove over an hour to get them but they were too good a deal to pass up!

Some shows I'm watching--I'm not done them yet!

Loving Steve Carrel and the whole cast.

The Four Seasons, Season 2

It's fun to see the local spots where they filmed.  Seen here.

I started this on the plane and I really like it!

Dining Out & About

 We've certainly been trying a lot of new restaurants in our new neck of the woods. I don't always grab a photo, but when I do...there's going to be a post about it!

This place boasts that they have over 250 omelettes (there are more on the back!)

We definitely over-ordered here but had loads of leftovers. 

We explored a cute area after breakfast...

...and found this lighthouse.

When we celebrated Valentine's Day, the bread service was so elegant.

Here we are at another breakfast place that had great reviews.  The restaurant and menu were all witch themed.

I loved getting greens with my breakfast! (and a biscuit!)

This cheese board was so simple and pretty at a French restaurant.

While we were helping City Girl #2 move, we tried a delicious Palastinian restaurant.  I'm still dreaming about that hummus, pita, olive oil and cauliflower!

Friday Favorites-Busy!

I guess we've been pretty busy lately.

We upgraded the shade on our ceiling fan to this fabric beauty.  It's a good way to update without having to replace the whole fan.

I had been searching for a more functional side table for the guest room and found this one on clearance at Ikea.  I've added a fabric bin to the bottom for more hidden storage since installing it.

I loved these limited edition Starbucks cup and new to me kombucha flavor.

This movie is fantastic. I didn't finish the book but now I want to go back and read it.

It's so fun seeing the bulbs that I planted in the fall.  We have flowers!

We've had some warmer days so I could wear a short sleeve shirt and my Willow bracelet on my wrist (from City Girl #2) ...and no wrist brace. Yay!

Seeing this magnificent kitty on my walk.

I sent this Connections screen shot to Mr. Click. Tell me you're married to a musician without telling me you're married to a musician.

This Easter tin makes me happy when I pull it out for Easter decorating. I think it's because the bunny reminds of City Girl #1 from one of her early Easters. 

I got some roses and stock at Trader Joe's and Willow took a chomp out of the rose petals. Good thing they are both cat safe.

We started helping City Girl #2 move into her new place. This was trip one of many!

Happy Friday!
