Friday Is for Fun and Favorite Things

I feel like I’ve been way more negative than I really want to be on here lately so today is all about fun and some of my favorite things!!!

I could spend every day just like this!!!

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned a time or 500 that the beach is my favorite place!!!

If I can’t be on a beach then a pool with full service and one or more of my favorite people is the next best thing –

I might have mentioned that I collect cookbooks.  My favorite cookbooks are the Taste of Home books –

Taste of Home & hick Cooking

My other favorite cookbook is the book that our MOPS (Mothers of Preschool Students) group put together years ago –

This is the book I go to when it is after 5:00pm and I still don’t have a dinner plan!

I also collect martini glasses.  I had a hard time picking a favorite so I went with 3 of my favorites –

Five O'Clock Somewhere Texas Decisions (shoes)

Even though summer is my favorite, I also appreciate the beauty of fall –

Some days I look out my kitchen window and feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the lake –

And, lately my boots have been making me happy many  days!!!  It is hard for me to pick a favorite pair (I’m not saying how many pair of cowboy boots I have!!!) but here are a few:

Boots and dresses are my favorite thing to wear if I’m not wearing workout clothes!!!

Do you wear cowboy boots?

Happy Friday!!!
