Done Whining

Thanks for all the comments even though I was whiny. I am a bit better and I do have something to write about. Yesterday a friend and I went out and about. Coffee and muffins, and some shopping. We went to a thrift store. I got this, it is glass name place cards. I plan on using it for our Easter Buffet to label all the foods.                                                                                                                         

 Then more cookie cutters and a hand made wool bear. he has one arm larger than the other but I like him flaws and all.

Of course we hit the dump. The weekends are not the time to pick to many people picking. I got this I know Christmas is over but it is good looking and I like some fake stuff in the house. and a large stack of woodworking magazines that made my husband very happy.

By the time we got home it was snowing. (This is my husbands workshop,it's heated, and has my daughter's college frig out there. he says all he need is a recliner : ) This was one crazy storm. Snow, sleet , freezing rain, rain, and a pretty big thunder storm. I have seen it thunder in the winter once before but this was as big as any summer storm.

So you know what I do when it storms,I cook! This is homemade baked macaroni and cheese. Alton Brown's recipe food tv. Easy and good.                                                                       

I set the table near the fire place,we ate there played a few games of cards and called it a night.

In the morning the temps were in the 30's so melting was happening but the snow was so heavy so hard to shovel. The trees were beautiful for a few hours.

In the mail yesterday was Becks plant and bulb catalog. You can order 25.00 free and if you don't hit the 25 you pay nothing. such a good deal I am going to shop during the super bowl. Then last week at a thrift store for .50 I got this book on longwood gardens. I have never been there it says it is 30 miles outside of West Philadelphia in the Brandywine Valley.

It has the most amazing pictures and I plan on going over each picture. I want to see every flower. This book may get me through the rest of the winter.

After we cleaned up outside a bit this morning we went to Brunch. I have been to this place for dinner but not brunch. It was wonderful they had two old guys (late 70's or 80's ) playing Jazz and they were great. I sipped a mimosa and enjoyed Brunch and the music.  Total it was 25.00 We will be doing that again for sure.
Welcome to my 2 new followers and God bless you followed even though I was whining.
I hope your team wins the super bowl, we have no favorite the Patriots didn't make it : (
keep your fingers crossed for me that we are sunny and clear so I can see my daughter and that sweet baby on wed, my day off.
