One more cup of coffee — sometimes that is all you need!
I used to drink coffee all day long. There was always one more cup of coffee in the coffee pot. And I never had any trouble sleeping.
But, times have changed and now I just have one or two cups in the morning. And then sometimes… I indulge myself with one more cup of coffee in the late afternoon.
Mostly I like my coffee unsweetened, but with whipping cream. An old throwback from the 70’s from when mom was doing Atkins. Now, with KETO being so popular, heavy cream is back in style. I just never stopped.
( although I must say, I really enjoy a dirty Chai every once in a while!)
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
More errands and appointments. Which meant, I had to take my photos in the afternoon… instead of the usual morning. And… I had to practice my dance sequences later too… which is why I needed that “one more cup of coffee!”
Still Working on that Tennessee Walking Step… trying to commit it to muscle memory. And Carla, if you are reading, I am working on bending my knees!
You can check out my Dance Page, and watch me go from total beginner to Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Queen. It’s my covid skill challenge I gave myself — learn new things! Click HERE!

Here’s what I came up with for today!
I just love this little mirror. It’s what I use to get all did-up when I am in Portland.
Number 1 and I have a fondness for birds, especially little iron ones.
Pretty casual dress day — sweater is from Target, Universal Threads brand, Leggings are from the Gap, and some Turquoise earrings from Arizona.
Another great day in my Chippewa boots. I swear, they seem to be getting more and more comfortable the longer I wear them. Note: they run slightly larger– these are a size smaller, and they fit great.
Every once in a great while. I will have coffee after dinner… and possibly tip a little of this in the cup. Throwback from living in the Bay Area…. and the Buena Vista.
This is, by far, my favorite coffee mug. For one thing, It holds a LOT of coffee and keeps it warm. And it is easy to hold. I love hand made. I believe I found this at a thrift store.
This one does NOT have any Irish in it… because, I have some work to do still. But, I might pick some up on the way back to the coast. Be good to have when the snow hits!
Thanks for joining me for a little cup of coffee. More to come — so check back often!

#tracywearswool I can't believe that it is day 59!! And I have that song in my head: good day sunshine... Do you ever get a song stuck in your head, and it keeps popping up all day? I do, almost every day. It is one of the ways I title my blog posts. More often...
day 58 of #tracywearswool: singing in the rain
#tracywearswool and singing in the rain! Which is easy to do in the Pacific Northwest! But really, any reason is a good reason to sing. In 2017, I had spine surgery on my neck. I went in as an alto in a church choir. When I woke up... I sound like a middle-aged,...
day 57 of #tracywearswool: green grow the rushes o
#tracywearswool and songs from our past... I remember this song from childhood. We all seemed to learn it, at they YMCA or scouts, or camp, or someplace like that. So that when you hear the words or the tune... you instantly remember the song... or bits of it. ...
day 56 of #tracywearswool: song sung blue
Song sung blue, everybody knows one. But when you take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again. Song is a wonderful healer. And I thing that everyone is born with the ability to sing. But sometimes it happens, that someone tells us we aren't any good, or...
day 55 of #tracywearswool: touch of gray
Every silver lining's got a touch of gray. But, really, that is what keeps it real. It's not all black and white these days... but more mixed up ... much more grayscale. Dare I say... shades of gray? Ok... maybe mixing it up a little too much. The important thing...
