Last week our drive to the Frankfurt airport was shrouded in fog which reminded me of the dusty days we get here.
But today, there were only blue skies as I drove home from school. And my car felt like an oven (it was 118 degrees).
Thankfully, my work day went much smoother than yesterday and was made even nicer by gifts from a friend.
A lovely necklace handmade from enameled copper by Megan Archer who is a jewelry designer in Halifax, Nova Scotia. You can check out her website here.
And a book that I have heard much about. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I'm ready to sit back with a cup of tea, a couple of homemade sugar cookies and start reading.
Hope you are having a great day!

Dearest Tammy,
Oh those foggy days of late summer and fall in The Netherlands or Germany I remember too well. One is always glad to arrive safely at the destination. But you certainly got some heat in your area.
Lovely enameled charm you got and the book sounds like a perfect tea-time read!
Hugs to you,
Mariette

Gifts from friends just make the day special, don't they. Diane
Lovely gifts! 118! Yikes! Our poor little valley is filled with smoke (fires in Idaho) Reminds me of your dust storms. I am hiding out inside with a good book. Enjoy yours! Kit
Wow, 118 that's hot!!!
You will love your new book. I read it last year and I'm up to almost 800 in my own 1000 gift journal. What a difference it has made in my life and attitude.
I read the book too. You`ll love it, Tammy!

Sounds like a good day. :)
I just borrowed that book from my local library - going to follow your lead and make a cup of tea to go with it! Enjoy!

118 I would melt for sure. The book looks very interesting and a lovely necklace too,you are very special!

sitting out Hurricane Isaac, thankful we still have water and power! I'm glad your day was a good one.
Lovely gifts, Tammy! I'm glad you have clear skies and not dust-filled ones. xo
Fog is dangerous depending on how think it is. You can't drive down here because you could go right off the side of a mountain and they do. Down here drinking and driving is more like suicide. There's always these 1 car accidents but at least they didn't hurt an innocent person except themselves of course. It is pretty though if you're at home. If I get up in the morning and can't see out I wonder if maybe I died and I'm in heaven! LOL!
I can hardly take the heat here so I imagine Kuwait would not be for me. I can walk in 20 below zero but not even the 90's down here much less 100's. Whew...that's hot!
Your plan sounds perfect, a book to read, a cup of tea and some cookies....so relaxing. Take care sweetie!
