My friend Suzanne, who lives in London, Ontario, came to visit this week. We were celebrating Belated Christmas. (And belated birthdays, too.) We decided to give up on presents for birthdays (being of an age where we really don't need anything and are or will be downsizing!) But we still like to shop for each other, so doing one big bash a year is perfect.
I was changing sheets on Suzanne's bed and on mine. I had an assistant.
She's not much help but she's very cute!
The visit couldn't have been better timed. Rick is still on his road trip, due back over the weekend or early next week. So having a good friend at hand (especially one you've known for almost sixty years!) was an excellent tonic!
We enjoyed eating at favorite restaurants and visiting some of the local towns. Suzanne had discovered this shop called Twisted, which focused on cocktail and entertaining items. It was a good find and I'll be back for hostess gifts!
And of course the book store! I came home with quite a haul, all used! (Thanks to Suzanne for the gift card!)
Blogger Kari, of Me and My Captain, mentioned the china pattern "Just Flowers" (Mikasa) that I showed as part of my table setting on my last post. She used to have it too! I love hearing that! I'm a bit of a dish junkie, having a number of patterns that i switch out periodically for everyday dishes. This one I skipped last year and decided it was perfect for spring! (Use it or lose it, right?)
And yes, it almost always comes out at Easter!
And, an update -- Sinus surgery is on the books for March 30. I'm both not looking forward to it and wish it was tomorrow! They'll be fixing these guys in the middle of my forehead.
Here's a better look!
Meanwhile, the ear infection seems to have cleared and we're always working on the lungs! So, thank you all again for your concern and good energy!
I leave you with my Secret Keeper and best girl! (She demanded equal time and got it!)
