| Holiday Treats! |
One of my nieces sent us a gift of an assortment of holiday treats! The tin looks like a peppermint!
We had some rain, today! One shower of rain in the morning and one later in the evening. In between, it was cloudy and a bit drizzly from time to time. There is more rain in the forecast for Wednesday. The garden needs the rain, so, I am happy.
Today, I brought in the trash cans from the curb, cleaned my bathroom, did a load of laundry, ran the dishwasher, and knitted (I might have a picture of what I knitted to post, tomorrow!) My daughter made more bead earrings as her Christmas gifts to her friends. My daughter and I also did a little bit of shopping in the afternoon, going into one store that was not at all crowded.
We had leftover salmon, rice, green beans, and peach chutney for brunch and leftover pizza for dinner. We also picked the first two oranges of the season from the tree and enjoyed them after brunch.
I've a few lovely bruises from Monday's fall, and still a bit achy, but, otherwise, I'm OK.
Today, I am grateful for:
- The rain for the garden
- A safe drive to the store and back
- Good customer service at the store
- Weekly trash collection services
- Working appliances
Today's joyful activity was knitting.
Plans for Wednesday include decorating the tree, maybe setting up the winter village, and M tending to the garden if it doesn't rain too hard! I need to do some cooking, too and cleaning the kitchen floor.
How was your Tuesday? What are your plans for Wednesday?
I think I like the tin just as much as I would enjoy it's contents. I've always loved a nice tin :)
ReplyDeleteI'm relieved to hear you're okay following your fall. X
It is a pretty tin, isn't it?
DeleteThank you, Jules; yes, I'm okay. :)
What a gorgeous tin and yummy treats. I hope you're able to rest following your fall. I'm looking forward to seeing your knitted scarf.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen; yes, I'm taking it easy and resting.
DeleteIt's a pretty tin, isn't it? We are enjoying the treats, as well!
I'll post a picture of the scarf, later today. :)
Good for you finding a store that wasn't too crowded. That's hard to do these days!
ReplyDeleteYes; it was in an outdoor mall (all the store fronts open to the parking lot) so you don't have to go inside a crowded mall. :)
DeleteThose treats look fun but it's the tin that caught more of my attention - I would have bought that lot for the tin alone!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself after that fall. It sounds like you have kept yourself busy, which will help. The bead earrings sound gorgeous.
It's a very pretty tin, isn't it?
DeleteThank you, Lyssa; yes, I'm taking care of myself. I'm doing a few things, but, getting some rest, as well. I'll post some pictures of the earrings after she finishes making them.
That is a lovely tin, and the contents look delicious, too! I shall look forward to seeing your knitting.
ReplyDeleteI haven't finished decorating the tree, but I decorated the mantle, and removed the clock and installed the creche, with the little candles that I can operate by remote and recharge hooked up to the laptop. There are also two large candles that are operated by remote. No hunting for matches these days!
I do like that tin - I know I'll be able to reuse it to store something! :)
DeleteSounds like you are getting your decorations up! I like the sound of your candles! I don't have any flameless candles, yet, but, they might be something to consider getting.
I was able to get the tree decorated, today. :)
What lovely treats and a lovely tin they come in. Please take care of yourself. Hope the aches and pains go away soon.
ReplyDeleteThe treats are delicious and the tin is lovely, isn't it?
DeleteThank you, Sharon; I'm feeling much better, today. :)
I love receiving fun little treats as a gift and that one looks to be filled with goodies.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are bruised and hope you are not to achey.
Your meal of leftovers sounds very good. Especially with the first of the season oranges.
My daughter and I have been making inroads into the treats we received! :D
DeleteThank you, Debra; I'm feeling better, now.
Leftovers with the first oranges of the season are yummy! :D
