Over the Coffee Mug Musings

Today is one of my "domestic" days.  I am going from room to room,

dusting, fluffing, vacuuming.  I like everything to be all neat and tidy

before the weekend so we can mess it all up again :-)

We have lived in this house long enough now that I need to start

cleaning out drawers and closets.  Sometimes I wish the drawer and 

closet genie would show up in the middle of the night and quietly

get it all done.  I don't mind straightening out a closet once I get

started, but it's the getting started part that takes some effort for me.

This morning when David was leaving for work, we kissed each other as we do

every time either of us leave the house.  I stopped for a moment watching him

leave through the back door and thought how much I love him.  This coming

Monday we will be celebrating our 26th anniversary.  Although I was very much

in love on our wedding day, I can honestly say that I love him even more now.

All of the couple friends that we had before we were married are also

old married couples now.  We are still friends too.  Some of them live

in Houston and it's fun to visit with them.  All either have grown kids or

kids in college.  David's sister Cindy who also lives in Houston is now

the grandmother to four little ones.  I remember when her then young

daughters were at our wedding.  Now those daughters are grown with

husbands and children of their own.  The youngest, Angela is not married

yet, but has a boyfriend and she is in grad school at UT.  Time marches

on, but sometimes a bit too fast!

I don't know if you have noticed yet or not, but I have started a 

cooking segment on my blog each week.  I am really happy when I

am in the kitchen with music in the back ground and creating 

something yummy to eat.  I hope you'll stop by to check it out from

time to time and give me feedback too.  This is a maiden effort for me

so let's just jump in and see where it takes us.  Maybe Bentley and I 

will start a YouTube cooking show :-)

I used to be such a voracious reader, and I have not been reading

as much as I once was.  I am changing that trend.  I have a library

card once again and am catching up on must reads.  What about you?

What are you currently reading?

Well, I suppose I have rambled on long enough now.  Oh, and look what

I see right above this little vignette you see here  ….

It's a snail on the window.  It's been so wet here that snails are

everywhere!  He looks big in this picture but is actually a tiny one and

there is another one not too far away from him.  I better move both of 

them far away.  The snails have already consumed one of my

Impatiens and I don't want them chomping away on any more

plants!

Have a great Thursday y'all!

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
