Trying My Hand at The Sunday Seven

Trying out this format today, inspired by Beth at Seeking Six. 

Celebrating the Good of the Week!

7. Vacation with my husband... warm desert days, cool desert nights, blue skies, grey skies, warm winds, cacti, Joshua Tree, hiking, yoga, reading, swimming, Whole Foods, avocado salsa, Palm Greens Cafe, iced chai, date shakes, strolling downtown Palm Springs

6. Family... our return flight was cancelled, a whirlwind ensued and a day trying to regroup and make the most of it, no place to stay then family to the rescue! We were welcomed into my brother in law's brother's home with his most generous family. We are filled with gratitude. 

5. Sumo oranges... if you have never had the good fortune to try one of these beauties do so if you get the chance. I have had them on two vacations. Once from the Seattle Public Market and on this vacation. They are large and sweet and only available at a certain time of year.

4. Daughters... two very special ones who, although they are both away at school, are in contact with us almost daily. They keep us in our lives, share their ups and downs, their daily activities, and new adventures. 

3. Dogs... Pablo, Dublin, Fisher, GiGi, and now Buddy and Teddy. Life is just a little bit more chaotic but better with dogs.

2. Books... I have read four books so far this week. Fiction, Nonfiction, and a graphic novel. Currently working on a science fiction read. There is nothing better than losing myself in new worlds, knowing new characters, and learning new things. Books and words have played a very important part in my life and have helped to shape who I am and how I experience the world. 

1. Fuzzy socks... always comforting.
