Slow on Sunday Morning.

A few simple pics for this slow Sunday morning, a recap of our weekend so far. I’ll admit it’s been extra long because I spent half of Friday thinking the day was Saturday. When you have two Saturdays, you end up with a three-day weekend.

Simple Pleasures #6

November 10, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 5 Comments

Last week was filled with some of my favorite simple pleasures. I spent time with friends at a Hemingway-Pfeiffer writer retreat which meant five whole days to talk about writing, share my writing, think about writing, and actually write. This is blissful. I followed that up at the Bat Cave with my Mother which always involves lots of laughing.

So a few of last week’s pleasures were…

1. A tranquil drive through the Ozark Mountains.

2. A glimpse of Lake Norfork, (my happy place), perfectly timed at sunset.

3. Sharing the first chapter of my manuscript with other writers and receiving wonderfully positive feedback. Yay.

4. A great night’s sleep at home in Mississippi County followed by a lazy morning drinking coffee with Momma.

5. Being surrounded by delta farmland for a few days! Look at all the beautiful cotton:))

Here’s wishing you a week of good coffee and lots of laughter.
