Dream a little dream, maybe of a simpler life… or maybe just a warmer life!
And I really can’t complain. The sun came out for a bit at the beach, and it was so wonderful. And then I drove to Portland. But, really, I am grateful to be in a part of town that has electricity. Especially since there is snow on the ground….
Still… a couple of days in the 80’s would be pretty amazing. Or… a hot tub. I would settle for either, at this point. Leaning toward the hot tub, now that I think of it…
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:
Cold and snow in Portland. Today is Mardi Gras, but I am hanging in for the evening.
I continued on module 3 – shuffles and slides — for my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. It’s really fun and really gratifying… and quite humbling — all at the same time. I started as a complete beginner — You can track my dancing progress HERE.
I made it to Portland where it is quite cold and lots of snow on the ground and downed trees and branches. We had a few in the yard from the neighbors’ tree.
Here’s what I came up with for today!
Super comfortable outfit that will carry me through the sun at the coast, the 120 mile drive, and then the snow in portland.
I wear a lot of vests… so great for pockets for my keys and phone, without the bulk of a jacket.
This vest is from Cabelas, and I think i got it back in 2012 or so. It has held up remarkably well… mostly because I lost it in the back of an incredibly large closet for a few years…
One of my favorites — wear it all 4 seasons.
Rubber boots are by Hunter. And they will be the only rubber boots I buy from here on out. Can’t beat the quality, and they are actually quite warm.
Dream a little dream of RVing?? Take a peek inside my RV lifestyle HERE!
I picked this pink flannel shirt up at Target at the end of last year. Nice heavy flannel, so perfect for an overshirt.
And… It looks like the daffodils are going to be blooming by the time I get back to the coast!!
Thanks for checking out my dream a little dream post! More to come — everyday in fact — so check back often!
Sweet dreams!
