A whole day to myself! No responsibilities, just plenty of time to indulge myself. So what have I done so far? Visited blogs, drove to Starbucks, had a free (thanks Chad for my Starbucks gift card) vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich with bacon, Parmesan frittata and Gouda on a fluffy artisan roll (have you tried one of these yet? delicious). Anyway, then to Joann Fabrics for a new pair of sewing scissors (50% off coupon). Then a quick run into Borders for a copy of the British Country Living August issue (they only had June). Quickly scanning the bestseller shelf, I spotted the book 'Julie & Julia'. I am so excited to see this movie in August....Stacey mark your calendar for a date with your Mom. A pretty magazine, a new book, and a vanilla latte on a superbly sunny summer day. I do believe I hear the hammock calling to me. I think a nap is in order too. After all, it's old Mema's day off!

This sounds like my ideal day! I want to go see that movie as well, it looks really interesting :o)
Oh that does sound like the perfect summer day. The English Country Living is so much better...
AAAAH,as you sink into that comfy hammock. It would be lovely to have one, maybe someday. Your day sounds devine.
What a wonderful day!
Hi Cathleen! I'm Chiara, an Italian reader; I discovered your blog a few days ago and I love it! I also visited your shop. I have a question for you. You knitted dishcloths; I'm smitten with curiosity. Do you really use them to wash dishes? It's something new for me, as the only use I know for cotton thread is for throws!!! Your dishcloths are just too beautiful to be used!
Have a great all for yourself, enjoy!
Hugs from Chiara
Oh can I join you? Sounds like utter bliss xx
Wonderful! Aren't days like this just heaven? xo
Sounds like bliss and right up my alley! I had a similar day.....with the exception of my UTI...ug!
That sounds like a perfect day to me! The thought of having a day like that! You lucky thing.
The bag you crocheted for your daughter-in-law is lovely! I think pink and brown are a great combination, she must be thrilled with it, and so pleased to have such a wonderful mother-in-law.
Love Vanessa xxx (do you mind if i knit)
Chiara...yes, I really do use my dishcloths to wash dishes and also, I made some pink ones especially for when I give my little grandgirlies their baths. They are very soft and it just feels good using homemade ones.
Thank you so much Cathleen for your reply, I've learned something new today!
You're great!

Looks like a very, very good day! I love the British edition of Country Living, I've been subscribing for years--couldn't live without it! It is just so much better... I can't wait to see the Julia & Julia film! Happy Day, Cathleen :o) ((HUGS))
I LOVE having a day off just to myself! Your activities sound just like something I'd choose to do.
I would like to share that day with you! love your bag by the way.

That sounds like an absolutely wonderful day. I'm going to have to have a day like that real soon.
I came here after reading your sweet comment about my mom only to find that you are called "Mema." My mom was Mema to her grandchildren, too! I am so glad you had a wonderful day!
