Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

It is Saturday and despite a bit (well, oneday to be exact) of sunshine and warmth this past week I am lying here listening to endless rain outside. And I am thinking about all of those things that I really like - my favorite things!

Above all are my shoes! What shoes? Luca’s worn out wrestling shoes that I snatched because he had outgrown them. My expectations were nothing but I thought it was a shame to give them away since they are exactly my size. They are AMAZING!!!!!!! And all I wear to work these days as they go well with riding to work on my bike:

And fulfill all the criteria for appropriate workwear:

And in NYC where we walked like crazy everyday (on average 30.000 steps for several days)

I was the one with the least sore feet. I seriously consider getting another pair once these are worn out. The names crack me up. On amazon you can buy “stingray”, “aggressor”, and “vaporspeed” shoes

Or perhaps 41 year old me should settle for some boring black ones again.......

Another tidbit of awesome things I want to share with you is Motawi Tileworks. I have seen the tiles in Ann Arbor art center. I just didn’t know that there was a whole production site here. These tiles makes me want to live with tile in the kitchen, bathroom, around the fireplace and anywhere else you could possibly put tile.

That red cardinal tile! 😍 I think I should persuade Kristian to go pay them a visit. I am sure Ulrik wouldn’t mind going too.

Happy weekend everyone. For those of you not in Michigan right now I hope the weather treats you a little better
