Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening! Happy Thursday! I'm here this morning to share some good things that occurred in the last week or so. LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color keeps a list of all I Like Thursday participants. So you can go check out LeeAnna's post for today and you can check out the "Likes" of others.
I should have shared this photo last week. It's my breakfast from last Tuesday morning, the 11th, at a place called The Griddle, in Winnemucca, NV. It's Fruit and Granola Crepes. Yummy cream cheese filling, fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. It was really good.
When we got back home, there was a package on the dining room table. UPS had left a package on our front porch. My neighbor/houseplant-waterer retrieved it and put it in the house. The story behind these Laundry Sprinklers...I made a comment on a Facebook post about how I wish I had the stopper like my mom had for sprinkling clothes before ironing. Yes, I still iron. Pillowcases, Mr. Busy's button front shirts, and my cotton capris and button front shirts and blouses. Anyway, my SIL in Florida saw my post and found them on Amazon and sent them to me. Wasn't that sweet?
Mr. Busy's favorite cookie are these peanut butter sandwich cookies from Walmart. Before Thanksgiving, we had trouble finding them at Walmart. When we were in California, their Walmart was out of them also as well as Nutter Butters. When I placed my Walmart pickup order last Thursday, I added 2 packages of the PB cookies. I forgot that my standing order has 2 packages on it usually. Imagine our surprise when 4 packages showed up in our grocery order. Guess he'll be good for a week or so. :)
This was the sunset from our front porch on Saturday evening. So pretty! Our neighbors still have their Christmas decorations in the yard. To be fair it has been bitterly cold here and they both work alternating 12 hours shifts.
And finally I have to share the Christmas gift from our daughter. It's a Blind Date with a Book. The book was wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper, tied with a gold ribbon. The box included a green candy cane pen, two laminated bookmarks, a packet of Christmas Tea and a packet of Ghiradelli cocoa mix, a pair of red and green fuzzy socks, and some Gingerbread scented wax melts. It's the best gift. I haven't read the book yet, but looking forward to it. It's Dean Koontz's Devoted.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy.
Your view out the front looks like ours this morning - and it's icy underneath, too. It's time for the temps to warm up! Your crepes and coffee drink look yummy! I love the Blind Date with a Book gift idea. You'll have to tell us how the book is!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! What a fun post. It is COLD here, too. It looks like a majority of the country is though, so we're in good company. That mocha iced coffee looks yummy! I love cold coffee but today I just HAD to have warm. A hot chocolate sounds fab right about now. Stay safe and take care. {{Hugs}} a bunch for you. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteAt least your cold has snow. Our cold is just gray. Blind Date with a book looks fun. Only a week for the cookies? LOL Glad you found them. I remember the sprinkler, my grandmother had one on a pepsi bottle and hers was aluminum if I remember right, what a fun gift. I can relate to the working a lot and stuff not getting done much around the house. Great likes, as usual, oh and the breakfast in Winnemucca looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh, those crepes look wonderful! That iced coffee looks really good, too. Pretty colors in that sunset. What a fun present. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been cold around here in the St. Louis area too! Brrrrr! What great gifts you received this week. Smile! Someone(s) loves you! 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, lovely post. What a wonderful box of goodies from daughter and how sweet of the SIL to forward those sprinklers to you. Oh my, that crepe! And your drink looks so delicious. That exact same thing has happened with my Walmart order...that's why I have 4 boxes of Triscuits in my cupboard. Tony would love it if they were peanut butter cookies.
