Morning

Camp left for NYC last night so this morning I woke up to a very quiet house.  Solution:  turn on the music!  I listened to a few songs while I got ready, but more importantly made this:

Drip coffee - yum.  My wonderful aunt Shelley introduced us to Philz Coffee in San Fransisco and I couldn't get enough of it!  I recently ordered 2 bags to be shipped cross-country and they arrived a few days ago (may I recommend Jacobs Wonderbar dark roast).

If you haven't ever tried drip coffee, made one cup at a time, I highly recommend it! 

I'm back. It's time to write consistently!

It's funny to look at my last post when we were visiting C'ville.  We live here now! 

We are finally settling in to our small condo and enjoying being back in the mountains.  I do have to say, when it snowed about a week ago (in OCTOBER), I was missing the beach a little!

Picture from inside my car...it was cold outside!

Sunday afternoon my good friend, Elizabeth and I made wreaths together.  I think our craft project was a success!

Pictures of our home to come soon!

Summer time is quickly approaching!  Check out Luxury Link for great vacation deals.  My current vacation list:  Greece and the Amalfi Coast.  Most recent vacation = Charlottesville, VA.

Ahhh, long breakfasts and lots of coffee...

And the vineyard...

Tomorrow I will post some highlights of that vacation.  AKA good restaurants, shops, running routes, etc.

I drink black coffee.  This morning I woke up and turned on my wonderful Jura and got the beautiful cup of coffee you see below.  This cup contains no cream.  The coloring of the coffee is due to the crema.  Oh what a glorious morning!  (And please note, all this at the touch of one button.)

great resource for inspiration:
