The week-end is just about here. I'm ready. Last Holiday week-end was refreshing and it seemed like I had been gone a couple of weeks instead of a couple of days. This is the kind of time away from HOME needed, but today it seems to have hit me that I need rest.
We went to Kansas City on Saturday, visited the Mall, ate Pork Chops at Stroud's, watched a late night movie about Dr. Ben Carson, slept in, visited Union Station and had lunch at Harvey's in the Station. Drove HOME. Hubby had some medical appointments on Monday in Topeka.
We bought a $75 micro-wave at the RESTORE store and a HELMERS piece of furniture for $40. When I saw the micro-wave, I thought it was beautiful and needed to come HOME with us...the HELMERS piece painted pink was a must have.
There's some work that needs to be done in the Kitchen before the micro-wave is installed. Hoping that our Kitchen is completed by Summer...we are inching a long.
When the spare room turns into my antique OAK room, the pink chest will more then likely become a night stand. May leave it pink...maybe not.
Geese in Topeka were plenty. They were so calm it was scary. Beautiful to see.
Thursday was Cheesecake day.....was so proud of myself and baked a cheesecake. It's been years since I did this. What's got into me? Cheesecake.
Today as I drove Lil Miss to school, Time/Temp Sign said it was the big zero. 0 degrees. Lil Miss's class went to the Topeka Children Discovery Center and I tagged along. The kids were wonderful and the time went fast, but when I returned HOME I needed a nap. So down I went.
Hubby brought Supper HOME. Sooooo glad. This 'ole Lady is tired. Supper was Fried Chicken, Baked Beans and Potato Salad. Sounds like a PICNIC with someone else fixin' the fixins. Must be craving milder weather.
Yesterday as I was looking in the flower bed, green crocus was popping through the soil. Seems early. Perhaps this bitter cold WINTER will disappear and SPRING will blow in early. That'd be alright.
In the mean time, the WINTER SNOWS have a beauty all their own.
Blessings to you,
