Passion's Slave

Work-from-home Fridays is a huge perk of my job but it’s even better with my little schnoodles cuddled up next to me while I’m working :)

“Why are you watching your British Copper Show when you could be watching *me*?”

This daybed has magical powers :) We fell in love with it when we saw it @ a consignment shop last month. Had to wait for pay day on pins & needles hoping nobody would grab it before that. The day I called to pay for it they said it was due for a discount (!) & knocked a $100 off the already great price! It’s the most comfortable piece of furniture - aside from our bed - & it’s like a virtual oasis when you’re on it. Cares evaporate :) It’s changed my life :)

is showing 1939 narrated by Sir Kenneth Branagh, then MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, then GOOD-BYE MR. CHIPS. Set for the night :)

The two reasons I get to celebrate today :) Love my amazing sons ~

@ the airport for an early flight & got a slice of zucchini cranberry bread on the house when I showed my military ID! Nice start to my vay-cay!

My paternal great-grandmother, Anna April Salzman. She came to the US in the late 1890s from Austria via Ellis Island. She & her husband, Kalman, carved out a life here, raising 6 children & running a saloon in Paterson, NJ. Whenever I listen to a waltz by Strauss, the romantic in me can’t help imagining them floating over a dance floor or even their kitchen floor to the Tales of the Vienna Woods. I celebrate her on this International Womens Day :)
