Welcome to Litsy!

My #ChatterDay Saturday, back at my usual coffeeshop haunt. Dirty chai latte, Kalua pork breakfast wrap & catching up on opening #SpringCardSwap cards & P&P for #JaneAustenThenAndNow

I haven‘t been good with 2 chapters a day & been mostly reading iin ebook spurts so I decided to pull out a fun illustrated edition for today. Special shout out to my pretty “J. Austen” bookmark that I picked up at a local bookstore last weekend. It matches! 💙

A crazy week for work with 2 Hilo trips & all day meetings & when I got home last night I just crashed so, it‘s a Saturday #5JoysFriday list for me.

1. Good flights, a couple of upgrades, & seat-mate readers in the wild bring me joy. I love readers! 📚💛

2. Last Saturday on my field trip, a favorite Indian restaurant that was closed was reopening. 🎉 I got takeout & asked if they had their mango lassi & she gave me a free one & a big glass ⬇️

Just an FYI for my fellow spring card swappers. Mine just went out in the mail today. Apologies- My health held me back but my husband got me to the post office today. Yay! In early April my family visits Wicked Tulips- fields & fields of countless varieties of tulips for the picking. A wonderful way to celebrate & welcome in the spring season. I can‘t wait! #springcardswap

Today was long & jam-packed but I‘m finally done working & ready to share my #5JoysFriday list for this week!💛

1. This morning as I was getting ready there was a rather loud “lecture” going on between 2 birds outside my bathroom window. Identifying a Red-Vented Bulbul as the lecturer with the Merlin app gave me joy!🐦

Favorite foods give me joy! 😋
2. I ate 2 poke bowls this week &
3. had grilled smoked pork belly at a brunch with vendors.
