Today, I went to the office in the morning and had a productive day. During my lunch break, I mailed my property tax payment (1st installment; the 2nd installment is due in the spring), then, went to the pharmacy to buy some vitamin D capsules, and finally, to the farmers' market to buy a baguette and an almond croissant.
After I came home from work, I put away the dried laundry from yesterday and did the dishes. Later, I picked up daughter from the airport. She is home for the holiday weekend. We had dinner after we got home and she liked the sweet and tangy pork ribs I had made. We shared the almond croissant for dessert. Then, we sat on the sofa, together, talked, and cuddled. She had me laughing so hard I was almost crying.
Today, I am grateful for:
- My daughter is home, visiting
- She had a safe flight home
- Hugs and kisses
- Baguettes and croissants
- Shared laughter
I am looking forward to spending tomorrow in the company of my daughter. We don't have any big plans, but most probably, we'll go out to lunch and then, maybe do a bit of shopping. It won't matter much what we do; it'll be fun because we'll be together.
How was your Thursday? Do you have a holiday tomorrow?
I was confused when you said 'holiday weekend' but then remembered it was Veterans Day on Saturday. Glad your daughter arrived safely.
ReplyDeleteUp early drinking tea and enjoying some one on one time with my 6 year old grandson. Amazing what he knows about IPads. It is cold here but going to be sunny. Going to the zoo.
Sandy, yes, we both have the day off from work, today, since tomorrow is Veterans Day. It's also my birthday (tomorrow). :)
DeleteIt's amazing what kids these days know about gadgets, isn't it? Glad you are having a sunny day; a visit to the zoo sounds like fun! Enjoy being with your son and grandsons.
I am so happy that your daughter is home for a visit. You two have such a special bond.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Live and Learn. I do love that daughter of mine and am happy to have her home, if only for an extended weekend. :)
DeleteEnjoy the weekend with your daughter Bless. Laughter like that is such a tonic. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. She and I have the same sense of humor, so it's easy to laugh together. :)
DeleteIt is always wonderful when a daughter comes home! I know because I love it when mine does too. Hugs and kisses are THE BEST!! Big plans are never needed because we just want to drink in the joy of their company. Have a fantastic time together. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eloise. We are sitting here, in the family room, together, having a quiet morning, drinking coffee; she's on her computer and I am on mine, but we are still being together. :)
DeleteHave a great weekend with your daughter! I am off to visit mine tomorrow and can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Hope you have a lovely visit with your daughter. :)
DeleteI am wishing you a continuing happy visit with your daughter. It is lovely to have a child home for a visit, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWinter has snuck in on us, as it was -11°C overnight. I had already brought the warm coats up into the front hall closet so I went out nicely bundled up today. Yesterday I managed to get my two front plant pots fixed up with pine greenery and dried flowers. I had to do it before everything froze so I could poke the stems in. Then I watered it so they would freeze in place overnight. Fortunately nothing blew away in the wind we heard howling while the temperature dropped.
Thank you, Bushlady; it certainly is! :)
DeleteOoh, that's cold! Glad you were able to bundle up! Your front plant pots sound very festive! I'm sure they look lovely. I have a pine tree at the back which should be trimmed - I think I'll wait until after Thanksgiving and put the branches into a pot for the front door steps!
Happy, happy daughter is coming home.. Know you will enjoy having her.. the two of you will have lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy. Time sure seems to pass faster when she's home! I think because we are up and about, doing things! :)
