Sunday October 4th~

True happiness is often found 
in appreciating the simple things 
that surround us every day...

 Yesterday I had a very busy morning,
 mainly this time doing stuff for myself.  In 
between it all I made time for a manicure and 
pedicure.  Always makes me feel good.  After 
all, self-pampering and self-care are essential
 requirements for a fulfilling life, helping you 
recharge your mind, body, and soul.


Yesterday evening we set out to listen to music at 
Capone's Speakeasy. Both Arvid and I called the day 
before to make sure we had the right group playing. 
 Well when we got there a Dean Martin impersonator 
was playing. Definitely not what we expected.


Arvid said to me, "take a video and send it
 to your mom." When 'Dean Martin" started to 
sing "That's Amore" I recorded it and sent it to her.  
Growing up our mom listened to all kinds of 
music she still does, but when she responded she
 said, "he sounds really weird."  It was "bad"


We decided to go to The Landing in search of
 better music. Problem was that we were out too early
 and most places started much later.  We made quite 
a few stops, but no luck in the music department.


Instead we decided to go have a "late" night snack. 
 What better than pizza.  We went to Mello Mushroom.  
I have been wanting to go there for a long time, but 
Arvid was never game.  Last night he was.  Pizza was 
pretty good. Even Arvid had to grudgingly agree.


Sunday here.  Sniff already on the prowl for
 birds and squirrels.  So far no birds, but squirrel does 
show up everyday.  Actually several times a day.


Every day, I like to wake up and remind 
myself to be grateful of the simple things...
