What I Am Loving Lately

9 Comments/ 85/ 0

How about a quick post about a few things that I am loving lately? You know you want to know all about that so read away and share some of your own things that you are loving in the comments section when you are done.

First up is what I am reading. I just finished The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah for our Gola Book Club group and since I hosted the gathering on Wednesday at Casa Chiles I am feeling all of the love for this book. It is based in Alaska so it gave me a bit of the Alaska flavor along with a compelling story. I would definitely recommend this one and think most of my reading friends would enjoy it.

What am I listening to? Mainly podcasts when I am getting ready in the morning or on the drive into town. Currently a couple of my favorites include Mob Queens and This American Life. Both can be found on any of your podcast channels that you use and both are worth a listen. They are totally different subjects but they keep me entertained.

After Maksim’s recent brush with a weird unexplained kitty illness I am a huge fan of Dr. Garland at Brevard Animal Hospital and the entire team at Reach Veterinary Specialists in Asheville. They are open 24/7 every day and gave us great peace of mind. I would highly recommend them for any animal emergency you might have.

I found a new wonderful popcorn snack from Poppy Handcrafted Popcorn in Asheville. The chocolate peanut butter flavor is AMAZING and I do not say that lightly. It really is good.

Fall is definitely here and with Thanksgiving just around the corner I am loving all the fall things that are still around. I don’t rush Christmas. Never have and probably never will. I like to savor the season, so to speak. With that being said I am loving the Mrs. Meyer Seasonal Fall Candle that I have burning right now. It is not overpowering and has just the right amount of scent.

There you have it. Just a few of the things I am loving right now. Share what you are loving in the comments and remember we have a few more days to Comment for a Cause for Shadowbrook Farm.

    I´m loving that they´re starting to play Christmas songs on the radio. I´m loving that I´m going to put up my tree this weekend. Christmas makes me love everything and everybody. I´m loving that I found the perfect cozy blanket for Dot which I couldn´t wait for Christmas and gave it to her already. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving at your house!!

    Loving the thought of all my “kids” being at our house for Thanksgiving. For the first time in forever (maybe a decade).

    What a fun blog! Yeah, the Great Alone was pretty terrific, wasn’t it? I enjoyed it a lot. And, yes, so glad the kitty is on the mend. Wowsers. I know that had to put you into orbit. I was there not too long ago when Beemer was ill.

    Right now I am enjoying the beautiful changing of the leaves in our area. So very pretty. Also listening to Christmas music again. Really helps to get us in the mood. Thanks for the heads up on the book.

    The Mrs. Meyers candles are the best. I’ve had different scents throughout the year and love them all. I adore most of the products in the line and use the dishsoap and hand soaps primarily.
    Haven’t read Kristin Hannah in ages and will keep this book in mind. Currently ready The Giver of Stars… need to hustle to finish my 30 books before the end of the year. I have 5 to go but not sure I’ll make it.

    I don’t and won’t rush Christmas either even though I am excited that all of our kids and grandkids will be here this year. I love Thanksgiving and don’t want it to be forgotten.
