I struggled with responding to this week’s challenge – to share a photo which represents one of your New Year’s resolutions. I have gotten away from making formal New Year’s resolutions and didn’t think you wanted to see a photo of my messy garage that I resolve to clean and organize by the end of the year in anticipation of a high school graduation party the following summer!
Then I came across this photo and thought it at least represented some general life philosophies of which I try to regularly remind myself, if not formal resolutions: appreciate your surroundings whether or not you travel, and treat yourself to things you enjoy while doing so!
Ciao! ~ Kat

Lovely weather + lakes + malts = perfection. Hope you’re having a great New Year so far (: Thanks for sharing!

Nice view and tasty stuff on the railing. Several blogs make me often to hungry. I could enjoy one icecream now too but I have nothing like this at home. It´s to late to find an opened ice shop now 🙂

This malt shoppe makes the best shakes and malts — they are so rich and filling, they replace a meal! ~ Kat

Oh I thought it would be an ice cream. So, it was a shake?

It was a very thick shake/malt — more like ice cream !

We could trade photos of our “need to be cleaned” garages and see who has the more pressing need to resolve to actually get it done. Though your high school graduation deadline is a bit further off than my end of march need to have the house put together before the kiddo shows up deadline.

I am embarrassed to even think about mine . . . but you have a much more exciting reason to be resolved! ~ Kat
