I can't believe it's June 25th and I'm posting about a winter item that I would love to wear right now as I'm blogging in my heavy sweater, jeans, and woolly socks! Yes ...WOOL IN JUNE! The heat has been turned slightly in the house this morning because it was quite a chilly morning, overcast, and still, oh so very wet! This is insane!

I so LOVE the new UGG's scuffette slipper in nautical sweater knit stripes! How preppy are these?

FORE! vs. STRIKE!

We had a wonderful Father's Day breakfast at our favorite spot in the town harbor.

Much discussion if we should keep our family plan to golf for the day. The cold, wet, misty rain and increasing wind drove our decision to cancel our scheduled tee time. Wouldn't be fun! Plan "B" brought us to a few crazy games of bowling! Much fun!If you golf, http://www.ameandlulu/ have fab golf accessories and I thought these preppy pink and green bowling pin earrings I found on etsy; oogieboogiebaubles, were a hoot!!

A space for Reflecting.....

I'm writing today in a somber mood. I have spent most of my day in a special place that brings peace to me. I lost someone very dear and beloved. I still hurt. I still grieve. I still miss that person. Today is the 1st anniversary. My family has been wonderful to me throughout this. They have been there for me. My special place started with church this morning. Peaceful.
Prayer is consoling. Next, I spent a good part of the day at a spot near the beach with a beautiful view. I wrote down thoughts in a journal. I wrote some notes to a few special people in my life. But most important, I was in deep thought about this person, who was so special to me. This person is at peace and looking down on me lovingly. I know that. I can feel that. Today was my day to stop, take a breath and just think. I hope you all have a special place for reflecting.
