POLISHING THE TEA and COFFEE SERVICE SET

So pleased with how well it turned out.  Accomplishing this polishing task before the week was out gave me a BOOST in my inner man.  Each day I stood at the Kitchen sink and polished a piece.  Amazing how this made me feel so good.  This set is a 2021 THRIFT purchase. Also THRIFT, the large tray was purchased at a different time.  Together they will go.  Think I'll have a Afternoon Valentine's Coffee and Tea Time with my Sweetheart.  Just 10 days away. I'll need to fix those Sugar Cookies I've been talking about. 

I've polished the silver-plated Tea and Coffee service set.  Sweet Victory.  The pieces turned out so pretty and shinny.  Made me smile.  

The other pieces I have do have a nice patina to them, but I wanted this particular set to sparkle. They are! and I believe I like it.  Serving from this set on a bitter cold Wintery day will be a pleasant treat for me.

I'm having a time believing it's FRIDAY already.  I'm in disbelief how quickly this week has flown.  Before the week is out I hope that the new coats of paint will be in the Kitchen Garden Window so I can place the potted plants back into some sunshine.  Since I am becoming a minimalist (haha) only a few potted plants will take up residency here.  Going for that clean and uncluttered appearance even if it isn't.   

Hopefully I can find my favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe and a heart shaped cookie cutter so I can make some cookies for treats.  I'd like to mail my Mom, out of town Children and Grandchildren some.  Last night I finished the care packages for my Mom and Sister.  Hubby took the boxes to the Post Office and mailed them for me.  He braved the cold and did a huge favor for me.  Bless him.

HUBBY FINISHED SHOVELING THE SIDEWALKS.  When he came inside, he was like an ice cube.  I fixed some hot coffee with cream for him.  Warming up. 

Clearing out the JUNK ROOM is a undertaking that I can only put a few minutes into each day before I tire out and my back begins to ache.  Today, I cleaned off and on for about a hour.  I've made headway, but unfortunately I came across more boxes full of PAPER.  Oh my.  How can this be?  I will sit on the job with this one.  That'll help.  I need to focus one day a week working just on the JUNK ROOM.  Today is that day.   

Will spend some quality time resting and going through a new magazine.  Oh to be so productive as these peeps fixing so many different things.

I finished going through my Hallmark Christmas Ornaments, made a cheese cake, shuffled some items out of the junk room and now am resting.  I think I will eat some of that cheese cake.

Calling it good,

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
