When you could sit on the porch
And feel the cool evening breeze
When people lived the simple life
And there wasn’t anyone to please
~from “Simple Life” by Pamela R. Anderson~

Blog Notes:
Kim has a couple of wonderful posts with links about her thoughts on simplifying life…here and here!
I just started drinking caffeinated coffee again and ran across the benefits of coffee at Eating Fabulous’ “Let’s Have a Coffee-Break.” I drink a morning iced coffee made with:
1 tsp. instant coffee dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water
1 Tbsp. Coffee Mate - Sugar Free French Vanilla
2 pks Equal or Splenda
2 TBsp. non-fat 1/2 and 1/2
Use a large glass, add crushed ice and stir.
The Chronicles of Mommyhood has some adorable pictures of her little one, Dash. I like looking at pictures of little ones. *smile*
A beautiful blog written by the Moniales Op or Dominican Nuns.
And since Autumn is almost here, The Sparrow’s Nest, has posted a cute idea for Autumn Placecards using apples!

I live for the simple life uncomplicated.
Have done so since I was forced into an unexpected retirement in 1995.
It has been the best thing for me, in the fact it has taught me to win the race of life you don’t need much in materialism to get by and be happy. I should have looked to my Mom and Grandma they have lived this way for years and are two of the happiest people I know!
I see many who work for toys, and more things, and the attitude who ever had the most toys and the biggest house and best car
at the end of life won the race!
There are still in big fabulous homes but never there to enjoy any of it as they are always working~
Live simply live beautifully!
Love you
all you need is love!
