DFO. I'm so over shopping, would be happy to have at least a month away from the shops! Money (or lack thereof) also dictates I will have to stay away for awhile!

1. Dog parks, those beautiful off leash areas where the dogs can run themselves ragged without fear of running onto the road.

2. The last rays of sun as the day starts to cool off, slanting through the trees and cold grass under your feet.

3. Watching the dogs run & run & run until they are exhausted

4. A good book to read under the pergola with your feet up on Sunday afternoons

5. Knowing that there is another 2 books in the series once you have finished that one.

6. An empty "bills to be paid" tray if only for 1 day

7. Gossiping with two brothers via text about the other one

8. Gossiping with above brothers about your mum and all the silly things she does

9. Your best friend telling you to enjoy the time you have with your mum before she leaves

10. Him bringing me a perfect cup of tea once all the cooking and cleaning from dinner has been done.
