A great day for the movies

Day three of a miserable 100°+ heatwave meant that Mama and I headed to the movies. Though we went for the cold air, we were not disappointed by our selection. “The Art of Racing in the Rain” was a fantastic, heartwarming film that had us running home to kiss our dog. Kevin Costner voiced the…

Slurpees to beat the heat

Temperatures reached 102-degrees in our backyard today. Even after a return to walking/swimming at our community pool, Mama and I were melting. This sort of heat simply called for a frozen summertime treat. I felt like a kid again at the Slurpee machine in 7-Eleven. I mixed a cherry Coke for myself and got a…

A stylish cleanup

Day 223 of 365. And Day 1,319…

A bomb bath

One of my favorite self-care rituals is a nice long soak in a hot bath with lots of Epsom. Tonight I went all out and used a lovely bath bomb with dried flowers. I lit candles, played music, and enjoyed a wee bottle of myx Peach Moscato. It was all kinds of wonderful! Today’s #OneGoodThing…
