7 Right Now...

...I should be cleaning the house or working on meal prep. But I'm procrastinating like mad. We've got guests coming over in less than two hours! Sadly, the big post I'd planned to publish today will have to wait until tomorrow. :(

...Josh is watching a documentary about the 9/11 attacks. It's super interesting. What a day...

...This morning, I met up with my brother and his crew at the Mt Juliet Farmers' Market (where the lone vendor gave us watermelon slices and banana bread to snack on!). I didn't get to hang around long, but it was cool to go back to Charlie Daniels Park - so many high school memories associated with that place.

...I'm grateful for friendly neighbors. While I was running errands, Josh got some work done, then biked around the neighborhood. When I got home, his bike was in front of our neighbor's unit so I stopped in to share a loaf of strawberry bread from the farmers' market. Our neighbor is this spunky elderly woman with a, ahem, colorful vocabulary, who lives alone with her teacup poodle and plays solitaire/watches for hummingbirds during the day. It was pretty fun - we just sat around a chit chatted, but she is super blunt and entertaining to be around. We don't do that often enough. 

...Okay, okay. I've put off my chores long enough. I need to go chop some veggies and clean the bathroom. After that, an evening with friends! :) Worth it.

I'll leave you with this sign I came across in the park today: 

Blessings!

  2. Hi Kelli :) My name is Moira and I have to say that your blog has been very inspirational! Coming across your blog was a large part of my decision to start my own, as well as my desire to keep my family caught up with my travels and such. I very much enjoy reading your posts. :) I am realizing that in order to build up a blog that reflects who I am and what I want to say I need to be consistent. Consistently posting that is and fiddling with the layout. Do you have any tips for a new blogger?
    Be blessed!

    1. Moira, thank you! I appreciate your encouragement.. and I'm glad the my blog was an inspiration for you to start your own. First, I have to say your blog is already super cute. SUPER. CUTE. (I may have already added it to my google reader... which means you've done something right! First impressions are important.) And you are correct about consistency - that's something I'm still figuring out how to do, myself. Other than that, I would say write about the things that YOU like. The things that amuse or interest you. It comes across. But it seems like you're on the right track and I look forward to following along :)
