bierengel

when the restaurant decor looks like this

and this

love this table

the menu looks like this

and most importantly

they serve beer like this

you would think

i'm in germany

but my friends

we found 

{bierengel}

"beer angel"

 now my vino love 

must compete with my husband's 

love for beer

who will spend more nights being dd

that is to be determined

another great evening

with friends

and 

wonderful food

in italy!

thankful thursday...hope

i said it yesterday

and i am going to say it today

and probably tomorrow

and the next day

june sucked

and after every disappointment

i would find something

to hope for

to try and remain optimistic

and 

i thought hoping

was helping

but

a part of me 

wanted to throw up my hands 

and 

scream

"really!!! not again!!!"

but

the good news

is 

i still have a roof over my head

that has amazing views!

food in my belly

good food at that!

pups who think i'm the best thing since the dog bone

i think they are biased

i am the hand that feeds them

and

friends

old and new 

love group skype!!

and they threw up their hands and said "really?!?" for me!

so 

bring it on july

june may have roughed me up

but 

i still got hope!

when in rome

i've been a bad blogger

a really really bad blogger

i didn't blog at all in june

and 

trust me 

june was the month i should have been blogging

it was a disappointing month

and there is something about blogging 

that allows me to stay positive

so

i'm going to try harder 

pinky promise

not for you

sorry guys

but for me

so that i can see the silver lining

and not the cloudy sky

below are a few iphone pictures 

from our trip to rome

because i haven't taken the time to upload the ones i took on  my nice camera

simply breathtaking

my gladiator <3

two of my favorite people

at 78 she conquered venice

and rome

amazing!

instagram+roman ruins 

love it!

so with this short posts

i do solemnly swear

to blog more

not because i know you miss me

just say you do make me happy

but 

because i miss you

ahh now we are getting sappy

i will see you soon

pinky promise
