Wishing all a happy & safe #FourthOfJuly weekend. A special salute to all the men & women, past & present, for your service that makes #IndependenceDay possible.πΊπΈ
Stay cool, be safe & be kind to each other. Iced #Coffee βπ. Parade & Lake for meπ#CoffeeLoverπ #UnitedWeStand
@fasb711 My brother and I joke around and say "I bet you nobody goes through a can of Old Bay the way we do" π
I go through one can a month. My doctor took me off of my zinc vitamins because I eat so much Seafood.π
All my family had an opinion on clams; how to soak, cook..."don't eat the ones that don't open" my mother would shout. My grandpa; soak them in beer & ice overnight, rinse, then steam in butter & garlic... I also add Old Bay & touch of olive oil. Guess what Ma, All 50 opened. π
Thankfully the humidity has broken, makes my mommy cranky & her hair looks like bozo the clown by the end of the day. I brought her a iced #coffee βπ while working she smiled & said #TGIF I thought she meant, thank goodness I forgot.π€ #HappyFriday#FridayVibes#CoffeeLover π
I tried a 2nd job for a few weekends to catch up on bills. Felt like I was falling down a black hole. So, I did the most irresponsible thing I could do... while sipping my #coffee βπ & surfing the web, I bought concert tickets. I wait all year for #SummerFestivals. I deserve it
#MothersDay never seems to get any easier once your mom is gone.π I couldn't "people" this weekend. Snapped out of my mood, as I was trying to nap, my dog jumped on the bed & laid his head on my heart. He motivated me to get up, get dressed & celebrate life, memories & love.
@fasb711 I have friends & Neighbors that are paying more, I can't imagine somebody being on a fixed budget trying to pay this. The best part is, I have solar panels in my backyard. Every year in they freeze up with ice. It helps keep the cost down during the summer. The winters are brutal
#FridayFeeling I flipped when I saw month's electric bill. #NationalGrid is 1 of the top 3 reasons I'll be leaving NY state. On a budget plan, it's over $450 this month, for February - March. Not thinking about it, made a iced coffee βπ good tunes & dancingπΆ #CoffeeLover π
@fasb711 Just from running the furnace. I burn wood as well to offset the electricity cost. I said there was going to be a small increase this year, it wound up being double. New York is just getting out of hand with so many things.
Living in the Adirondacks or anywhere upstate NY you get used to all 4 seasons in one week. I am so ready for the summer....days at the lake, BBQ's, concerts & reuniting w/ friends. Having my #coffee βπ & #daydreaming
Fireplace going, staying warm.

#TuesdayVibes... a tease of spring the past few days. Enjoyed while I could. Temps dropping for a few days. Did some cleaning & detail work on the jeep. Started making some cold brew #coffee βπ to get me thru the work week & I'm taking off Fridayπ#CoffeeLover π #LifeIsGood
#Bluresday... when you honestly forgot what day it was because the whole week has been a blur. Winding down the day, making a Dirty Chia #coffee βπ... not even 6pm & I'm contemplating putting my PJs on earlyπ This week whooped my ass. But I had funπ#EnjoyLife#CoffeeLover π
Disagreeing with a person, doesn't mean you need to hate them.
There is way too much negativity in this world. Some people are super sensitive, opinionated and arrogant. Life is too short for so much hate.βπβ #ChooseLove#ChooseKindness
#happysiblingsday to my brother Robert π
Proud & Blessed to not only have you as my brother, but as one of my best friends too.
Miss you dearly. Hopefully sometime in the near future I will be able to move closer.
Love You π @CWO4RSPEC
