This Week

I can't believe we are already one week in to our winter break.    Most every day has been spent out and about with my girlfriend, Mona, who is visiting from Lebanon.

We have gone antiquing.  




Enjoyed beautiful weather.





Met with friends (Susana is taking the picture).
Given and received gifts.

Shopped for yarn and craft supplies. 













It's been a fun and busy week that has gone by way too fast!  Hope you are having a great week, too.

    Just looking at those fun shops with new treasures to be had, makes me want to get out and do a little here today. So, glad to see you are starting off the new year with a fresh stash of yarn. Enjoy the New Year's Weekend. We plan on being very quiet here.

    So good to share your fun times with you. Happy for your good weather. It has rained nearly every day up to today and I finally got outside to take down Christmas lights and so on before it gets really cold. Happy New Year to you and yours.

    I love those types of antiques and have quite a few pieces that I have collected around the world. I've never lived in India but my home has an antique Indian feel from the wood pieces!

    It's great that you've been spending your break how you want with friends and doing all sorts of fun, relaxing things. :)

    We've barely left the house here. Maybe that's adding to my funk and hopefully I will feel happier by tonight when we all go ice skating (indoors because outdoors is warm and rainy). The pretty snow was very short lived - just lasted long enough for me to take those photos and then it was all melted by the afternoon of that same day. Not much of winter going on anywhere here in the states. Not even Michigan has snow and the lakes are not even frozen over.

    I'm off with Sarah until next Tuesday and then the 4th, everything reverts back to normal, which I'm not really looking forward to. I'll probably take down all of the decorations somewhere around Monday. We always leave them up through New Years.

    Happy New Year to you and your family.
    Linda :)
