Happy Friday!

Happy to see the weekend is here.
And our weather is finally nice.
We have a nice long stretch of nothing but pure sun.
You have no idea how great this feels--we had a horrid winter.  Remember all those storms?


Looks tropical doesn't it?

What do you do when you're stuck in traffic on the Sagamore Bridge?
Take a photo of course.

Ben & Jerry's Greek Frozen yogurt is really good!
This is the peanut butter & banana. Loaded with peanut butter chunks.

Do you like my buddha? Found him at Lowes Depot--that scary hardware place that I hate.
I had to buy him, I mean come on, look at him.
Finding just the right spot for him in the garden--I'll let you know.

My "go to" snack for the car and office.
One bag each of trader joes: sweet & spicy pecans, smoked almonds, roasted coconut chips,
lightly sweet walnuts, and peanuts.

My latest obsession? Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate Bars. Man those are good!
