I haven’t had my coffee yet, but wanted to pop-in and say good day to everyone. I have been writing and researching over the last two days, yes, I was doing it on Labor Day, too. I enjoyed a lovely weekend with family and friends. A big shout out to our dear friends … we helped them party-in another year of life. Happy Birthday Willie! And we got to see his lovely wife, Dee, and their son William (who I still refer to as their Baby Boy).
He’s already graduated from law school and has set up his practice. When I made mention that we really need to make a will, William assured me and Joe that he will help us with this document by reading it over, and finding us an attorney in our area. Thank you so much! It was such fun talking to people we only get to see in a blue moon. We just had one of those last Friday. Cool!
I only caught a snippet of First lady Michelle Obama speaking last night. I will catch the video replay in a bit. The few sentences I did hear made me excited to know she was rocking the convention. The President must be very proud of her.
I glanced at my Washington Post Newspaper and while I usually avoid the front page, Metro, Sports (these are for Joe), I did see the front page article about Siemens AG, a German engineering giant, who awarded Charlotte, NC, last year by building a new manufacturing plant a few miles away. This city is now a hub for making gigantic gas turbines needed to power new electric plants round the globe. Looks like America is about to go back to work, because I have noticed when one major player builds plants on American soil, the rest will soon follow. Make that new energy source guys and gals! Yeah!

The Style and the Wednesday Food Sections are my part of ‘The Post’. As soon as my coffee is brewed I will doctor it up and meld my mind within the dwindling pages of my favorite news publication. Have a super day and remember to relax and take a few breaths of air. Can you smell the roses?

* I ended up cooking egg whites, pancakes, Tilapia, seashell pasta with a basil-pesto sauce with chucks of fresh tomato and Italian breadcrumbs. I packed Joe’s lunch and set mine aside for later. Salad, too! And finally some fresh and crispy kettle potato chips. We needed crunch. Now I can drink my coffee. Hugs for a lovely Wednesday. Now … for the Sudoku puzzle.
Gorgeous photos, relaxing post, love the Convention update! Thanks for this blog!

Steph, GLad you enjoyed. Cheers!
Oh…. so beautiful …. yum …. I need pancakes …
This isn’t in the last post about breakfast. But I agree and those pancakes were fabulous!
Hi Theresa! Happy Birthday to your friend! Michelle Obama’s speech rocked the convention for sure! I rarely watch an entire convention but this one was so good that my husband and I watched every night. Ah, yes, I believe I can smell those roses!
This tells me that your days are filled with the joy from the sweetness you take in. Happy Day!
