    We may be discovering a topic we haven't yet raked over the coals!
    Maybe we'll discover the salad spinner of sex toys. One that some people LOVE but that other people absolutely loathe.

    I splurged on a new carpet for my work from home office. And rearranged the furniture to make a much happier space. The door is the front door to our apartment. Since my desk is actually a dining room table it used to sit in the middle of the room and I sat in the entryway path. I don't know why it took me 11 months to realize that there must be a better plan.

    I had to look this up. What a lovely sound!

    Our friends opened a new "Crumbl Cookie" franchise which has been a big hit, a bright spot during the pandemic, we have shown our support.

    I splurged on a variety of nut butters from Rose's Creamery (Elizabeth CO):
    Pepita
    Almond
    Orange Zest Cashew.

    Yum! I was surfing through lists of places here that are still open for pickup or delivery and found Smitten, the most fantastic ice cream place imaginable. I don’t tend to eat a lot of sweets but when I do I want something really good and decadent. The crumbl cookies website looks like their product might be worthy!

    Yesterday's frugal luxury was setting up a portable hammock on my enclosed porch, opening the windows (it was cool and breezy) and covering myself with a heated throw. I got to watch the clouds go by and listen to the birds while cocooned in warmth.
