TODAY I AM GRATEFUL FOR ...


Monday, August 31, 2026

1. Made it through a particularly hot humid summer! In my mind, fall begins on September 1st despite the thermometer or the calendar.
2. A quick Trader Joe's run, got some nice wine
3. A quiet airy evening
4. Lotion on my hands and feet

1. I've been doing some pantry and freezer reorganization and getting a menu plan written. Even though it's still such hot weather I'm looking forward to fall cooking.
2. My colorectal screening test result came back 'negative' which is good!!
3. My September reading list is intriguing
4. Iced coffee

I can hear the last LB Poly football game ever getting started at the stadium tonight. Veterans Stadium has been around the corner here in the neighborhood for 76 years. Next week they start demolition towards a new sports complex.

1. Mission accomplished: towels
2. Breakfast at Starling Diner, scrumptious scones with orange butter
3. A spattering of rain
4. And surprisingly, moonlight filling the bedroom overnight after it had been cloudy all day.
