Simple Monday Morning Memories

Blessed to have Monday mornings off! Whenever someone passes by I wave like old friends. They do wave back yet I'm sure wondering why I'm the only one with my window blinds opened. I've turned into my Mom. Every morning, a cup of coffee and open the curtains. I once read, we never leave home, we take it with us.

Rachel's Junk in the Trunk Blogger Bed & Spring Fever Garden

Where do you have your quiet time? For me, it's my bed. Love my little lights.




Gardening is my passion and another place for "Quiet Time"

Spring Time 2015 with Photo Editor Pic-Monkey

Had a few hours in between dropping off Julia (16) at school. Decided to drop by Skyline Church Cafe for coffee and quiet time before playing Facilities Manager at Ace Self Storage. After reading emails stopping by Facebook, I ended up on PicMonkey. The following are pictures I took last summer. With a few editing tricks the photos really take on a life of their own.

It's great for adding your Blog name to your pictures!


This is a picture on a wall taken with my Canon PowerShot SX210 IS
I added  the "Dark Edges" effect to darken bringing out the softer tones. 


My Bible, I added "Bokeh Shapes" which gave the effects of little crosses! 

Another picture of a picture adding Orton and Film Grain editor. 
I think I found a new hobby! lol

Rolling Stones Bracelet : Good luck charm for Honors Geometry



As I watched Julia do her Honors  Geometry Homework, I was breaking into a sweat just watching! Math and I broke up a long time ago so it's really awkward when we get together.  Ha! 
Then I noticed her Rollingstones Bracelet.  I've heard of the band and have seen the logo for many years . I'm sure I've heard their music yet to tell you what they sing , I haven't a clue! 
I shamed Julia by not knowing if Rolling Stones was one word or two.  This is the look I received. 


Guess I won't be getting the cool Mom award anytime soon! 

Meet Bertie from The Dollar Tree Store

Bertie was purchased at The Dollar Tree Store. She is a great addition to my  front office.

My new Starbucks Verismio 580 Expresso Coffee Maker


I'm so excited to share one of the gifts I received from my daughter Julia Rose . A Starbucks Verismo 580. I can now make my favorite Starbucks beverages at the touch of a button! I'm enjoying everything  from caffe lattes and expresso to regular brewed coffee. Plus the money savings is noticeable!
I was amazed how easy it is to use. The step by step instructions helped. I did it all by myself without Julia having to show me all the technical gadgets. She is a barista at Skyline Church and knows I LOVE COFFE. It's the only vice I have left! Can you relate? Here are some photos I took this morning before rushing off to Steele Canyon High (Julia school) and my #1 Job at ACE SELF STORAGE RANCHO . Then later tonight #2 job at Skyline Church. It's a 12 hour day. No wonder she gave me an expresso machine for Christmas!





Look at this cute little coffee candle! Precious! I won it at a white elephant gathering.
