Speaking of.... the Friday before that-the 13th- was a special post celebrating my bday/blogiversary, and also Paint Party Friday's blogiversary where I made a celebration portrait. That week there was a prize being offered-AND I WON IT!!! A $40 gift card for Dick Blick! You can bet that will go to good use:)
On St. Patrick's Day my friend LuAnn picked me up and took me for lunch at McCarthy's Tea Room in town.
We both had the same delicious meal which was a turkey melt on brown bread, homemade chips(which I actually ate because there was not one bit of grease on them nor were they salty!) and coleslaw. Along with that we shared a pot of Earl Grey tea. Mmm, mmm good! I was so full after that but took two scones to hubby which he put away in no time. LuAnn also gave me a gift card which she tucked into this adorable basket:
Sorry but this is it for now. My day began at 9AM to pick up Betty and then Truman to get some outpatient procedures done. A lot of back and forth driving, including a dr. appt. for myself that was squeezed in. Home by 5:30 PM and must be out for my own bloodwork by 8AM tomorrow which is why I'm posting this Mon eve. And you can bet I will be taking a mug of coffee to have in the car the minute I get out of the office:). As I'm typing here I have a loaf of banana bread in the oven almost ready to come out so I really must go. I'll be around to visit during the day Tuesday and see what everyone else has been up to.
" Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish." Ovid
Earl Grey is one of my go-to teas! So glad you and LuAnn had a good day to celebrate your birthday. Sure wish I could have been there. :*) What a cute basket, too!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I met a guy from Doylestown the other day who was headed back home and told him that you had mentioned 4-6 inches of snow in Bethlehem that day. He told me Doylestown is about 30 minutes south of you. I think most of it was gone by the time he got there. :)
Hope your blood work shows nothing but good results.
Congrats on winning the dick blick gift card! Looks like you had a nice lunch with your friend, too. I can practically smell that banana bread!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful meal. Yours looks SO much better than the one I had that day. And there's nothing better than sharing a pot of tea with a friend. Wow, the dies they now have from Sizzix. I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found a few minutes to share T with us this week. Really enjoyed the lovely photo of the food. Hope the appointments you have scheduled and all the running slow a bit soon.
