Birthday nails

Living in Seattle most of my life, I never saw my nails as much as I do now wearing flip-flops (slippers) everyday. I have never seen this color on my toe nails...but I sure do love it! I love being a woman!

Ending meal to a beautiful day

Birthday breakfast at the Broadhursts

Yesterday when I woke up at 5:45 am to go see the sunrise on the first day of my 35th year, I had a quiet moment with God. I was reflecting on how He brings people in and out of our lives for us to bless and be blessed. After seeing the sun wake up with my dear friend Jeanne and a really good latte, my new friends invited us over for birthday breakfast. Not only was there a wonderful spread of food, but I was blessed by their words of encouragement to me. I have only known them a month and our hearts are joined because God orchestrated it!

Blessings

Dead but looking good

Saw this little guy outside the apartment a few days ago and he is still there. Looks pretty good for a dead cockroach. I thought to myself, "Good thing I haven't seen those inside the apartment". And wouldn't you know a night later, there is one belly-up in the kitchen.
The only good cockroach is a DEAD cockroach!

Looking for a good home espresso machine?

 A few friends of mine have recently purchased the Astra home machine and it is a unique machine. All parts on the machine can be fixed by the owner and they are all metal parts - no plastic. You can pick up parts from your local Lowe's or Home Depot and if there happens to be a part that they don't carry then contact the manufacturer and they will send it right out. I talked to the owner of the company the other day to find out about a larger commercial machine and I must say that the experience on the phone with him was so pleasant. I asked him if there was a coffee house anywhere near Vero Beach, FL that uses his Mega II or Mega III so I could go test it out. He asked me if he could get back to me within two hours. I said that would be great. Within two hours he called me back with a coffee house within three hours of where I am staying. Looks like it's possibly road trip time!!
Although the website for this company isn't too up-to-date, you should check it out: ASTRA MFR
The home machine is very sleek looking and makes a mean espresso! Especially with Rio Coco Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans.

Just set up my mobile blogger!
