{Virtual Coffee}

Good morning.
When I went to bed last night I thought it would be nice to sit out on the back patio with my coffee and laptop this morning and have
coffee + edit some pictures while listening to my little radio out there.
BUT, I woke up to a bit of rain today, so that will have to wait for another day.

We have definitely had a strange Summer here so far, with lots of rain and not nearly as hot as it should be... which is all well in good in one
way, BUT, it is July and we want to be going to the pool and swimming and going to the beach already.

So, if you were really here having coffee with me this morning,  I would tell you to kick off your shoes and grab a seat on the sofa and hang out.
I would make you some coffee or whatever morning drink you feel like this morning, you know I do make a mean Hillbilly Latte, right?
You might just love it.
I would ask you what you have been up to, how is Summer treating you, how are you managing to keep yourself sane... and what projects
have you been working on? Lots of questions, I know.

For those of you on Summer Vacation, like us, I would ask what you have been up to... how have you been filling your days?
I would tell you that because of this weird weather we have had lots of indoor forts, playing with army men and dolls, drawing + painting
and probably a few way too many movies.
Yesterday the kids painted rocks outside for our little garden, some days it is just whatever they feel like doing that will keep them
busy and not argue with each other... right?

If we were really on the sofa this morning, having coffee and chatting away, I would have to tell you about the book I am reading right now.
I am the type of person that goes through reading floods + droughts, I either read a lot and cannot put books down or I don't read at all for a while.
Anyway, right now I am reading Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and it is really good.
Let me back up- I have always appreciated Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural design but last week I toured a Frank Lloyd Wright house
I have always wanted to see, and I fell a bit in love with him and his genius.
The house I toured was The Dana-Thomas House.
The girl giving the tour was a bit obsessed with him and told us a bit of his personal life and suggested a couple of books, this was one of them.

What I would really like to do this morning is take my coffee up to my bedroom, get in bed with my book and read for a few hours.
Doesn't that sound just a bit like heaven?

{me... not putting my book down}

So, I guess I should get up and get moving with my day... there is laundry and dishes to be done, beds to be made, lots of organizing to do....
AND the kids and I must get out of the house today.
We stayed home yesterday and I think for my mental health we really just have to get out and do something today.

I hope everyone has a great day... Thank You so much for stopping by here today!
