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!

day 16: fields of gold
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky, when we walk the fields of gold. Sting said it all, on this amazing song. Tomorrow, I'll cross my own field of gold and I head down to take a look at the ever-changing coastline that is my beach. Pretty amazing.For those of...
day 15: long way home
"Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home." Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the "long way" is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one's way. No matter, it's a great...
day 14: blinded by the light
Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia... you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation... and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn...
day 13: best shot
Hit me with your best shot... right in the left arm. And then "hit" Number 1. Because both of us rolled up our sleeves for the covid vaccine today. And... It was pretty painless. Glad that is out of the way. Next dose in about two weeks.For those of you just...
day12: left foot in
You put your left foot in.... you put your left foot out....and you know how the rest goes. Pretty soon you are doing the hokey- pokey, transformed back to the rollercade. My days of skating are long past, but yoga is a bit of "put your left foot in" -- at least for...
days 10 & 11: our house
I love our house -- which is, by the way, a 24' rv. I live here with my two dogs, on the beach in SW Washingon. And, although I spend a lot of time in Portland, where my daughter lives, this is our house. I look at it as trading REAL estate for WHEEL estate. Made...
