Saturday shoes ...and the rest of the give a way!

last Saturday, we were living in one big slushy here in the PacNWest. the slush is 

gone.  for the past couple days it has been cold and crispy clear!

 a crispy clear forecast =  grey flannel boots! 

no fancy schmacy here. 

i found them two years ago, HALF PRICE, at a local sporting goods store.

this morning, i decided to try  a new breakfast!

i had never eaten a broiled grapefruit! 

after seeing photographs of this take on the morning treat on 

Pinterest and various blogs, it was due time for me to go for it! i dusted 

it with some brown sugar and popped it in the oven!

you might be thinking...Lynne, this is pretty simple. why haven't you tried this before?  .
here is the answer.

 the inspiration from blogging is a daily reminder to do and try things that i have never tried before. 

since this was spur of the moment, i didn't have a maraschino cherry on hand.
( grapefruit is usually photographed with a maraschino cherry in the center.)
the walnuts were a perfect substitute!  

you may have noticed the Somerset Life bookazine next to my breakfast.

( i moved it out of my place setting immediately after the photograph.) 

in my post yesterday, i mentioned  that i found something special at Barnes and Noble. 

i also mentioned that i drew a second name

on glassybaby give a way day. i am so very excited to give a copy of this

 beautiful publication 

to Linda 

at flowers on my table!

Linda...please email your address to me!

(oh!...the broiled grapefruit with walnuts was YUMMY! 

it was worth the 50 +  wait!)

thank you all for your daily inspiration 

and for lifting me at sunrise!

have a wonderful weekend!
