That first sip of coffee on a lazy morning...

Beers on the deck always make life a little better.  Add in a good book and some grilling... :D

Relatedly, tried the TexMex dog today: jalapeno-cheddar cheese dip, jalapenos and salsa.  Worth it.

Sometimes, in Minnesota, we have to wear jeans and hoodies in June.  I'm not a fan of extended winter, but I am a fan of hanging out under the overhang on my deck during a June thunderstorm.  Jeans and hoodies just make it cozy.

It's been awhile...

1) A smoke (bad, I know) in the sun when winter's just starting to turn the corner to spring.

2) A glass of wine and Jimmy Fallon after a long day.

Irish coffee and a smoke on the deck... even if it's December.  :)

As we prepare for a week of giving thanks, it is the simple act of cooking a meal that brings us all together.

There's something about the weather turning colder, the sun setting sooner, and long winter nights that makes life just seem cozier.

There's little in life cozier that that first day of cold and gray that you can spend in your PJs and on the couch.

I work long days, and occasionally really long days... but there's nothing like curling up with a good beer and a little football after one of those days.

It's a good day when you see a sunrise and a sunset - both gorgeous - in the same day.
