Good Sunday morning! I am almost ready, just have to wait for Becky and then we are going a bit early to church. She has some bulletin board stuff to do and needs to run off papers. Sign ups for dinners coming up.
I bought a sweater yesterday and just something as small as that is making me happy...wearing it to church today.
I got one whole corner of the kitchen counters totally cleaned and decluttered. I found better places for things I use and put one blender away in a tub. The Starbucks blender is staying on the counter and the KA is in a tub with some big pots that I use once in awhile...I started working on another counter area, too, and it looks so much better. It was always clean, but when I sat down in the one chair a guest always sits in and saw their view of the kitchen I just knew I had to do something.
I posted a video of my favorite shop yesterday. One of my Utah friends texted me and said she did not see the cute gingerbread house I had mentioned I was considering buying, and did I buy it? I immediately jumped up and went to the shop! Yes! It was still there and it was the only one...I waited to get the attention of one of the clerks and said I wanted it. There are many stories of someone going to find assistance only to come back and the item is gone! So my decorating is done! At least all the components are now under one roof. I won't be changing things out until Thanksgiving weekend. It won't be Black Friday shopping, but Black Friday decorating!
Sorry to be so wrapped up in things...
I am going to visit a friend who got out of the hospital (she had been at UCDAvis) and got home late Thursday. She is like the sister I never had and her health is so fragile. We met when I was working in kindergarten and her daughter was in our class. We count our friendship anniversary every year...going on 32 now!
I hope this day is full of rest and the joy of family and friendship for all of you. We may not be together around the same table, but the thought of you makes me smile and feel good!
