WOW! I have so much to share with you today that I didn't know where to start! But after a short 'ping' to my brain, it was clear that apple bread was the sure place to start! ^_^
One of my 'bestie' girlfriends came over and spent the day with me, and she was toting this gift of a loaf of 'hot-from-the-oven' apple bread!!!! YUM! :-)
If you think it looks good...you're absolutely right!!! ^_^ But, as good as it looks, that has nothing on the way it tastes! IT-IS-DE-LICIOUS!!!! :-) ... Hubby and I may, or may not, have had more than one piece...We may, or may not, have toasted some, and put cream cheese on it too!...Okay. no maybes...WE DID! :-) And IT-WAS-DE-LICIOUS...ER!!!!...if that was even possible! Ha! Ha!...♥ Thank you, Kari!!!!!! ♥
That was only one gift she was toting though! :-) She also gave me two skeins of beautiful turquoise and white fashion yarn that she found on sale!...
It's so soft!!
It's not gonna be yarn that I can use on a whole boutonniere because it has these little cotton puffs on it...
But it could make a great edging for a scarf, right?! :-) ... Just because I'm 'me' though, I am gonna make a boutonniere and put a row of this pretty yarn around the edge, for the wedding section of my Wuglyees shop...if it works! :-] I think a fancy boutonniere for a man's wedding would be appropriate....Are you with me?! O_O
Believe it or not though, these weren't the only gifts I received yesterday! :-) I also got a wonderful gift in the mail!!...
...A BIG package...that came 'Priority' mail!!...
I knew it was coming, because Yaya, of 'Whispering Pines' blog, told me about it! :-) ... I was one of the winners of her Double Giveaway! :-) ...
I won a beautiful plate, and a candle, and a flower bloom candle holder!!! :-) ... Below are my pictures after I carefully unwrapped my 'FABU' gift!!...
The candle holder stand is very sturdy, and the candle smells sooooo good!! :-)
And then there was the signed plate!!...
It's soooo beautiful!!...
...and it has a bird!...
...And a flower!! :-] ... I had to 'stop and smell it'...sorta! ^_^ Thank you so much, Yaya!! I LOVE IT...everything!!! :-) And I know the other winner, Jennifer, will too!!
Great gifts, right?! :-) But believe it or not, that wasn't my only gifts yesterday!! :-) ... I also got a gift of a visit from a pretty black and white woodpecker to my suet bird feeder!...
It's hard to see, but I put the arrow there so that if you click the picture to make it larger you'll at least know where to look! ^_^
Wait!...There's more!! ^_^ ... Hubby spent all day Sunday in the kitchen. He made stew and pork roast, and.....and....
...a surprise gift of an apple/cherry pie!...deep dish style. :-) YUM!
Thank you, honey! ♥♥♥
So there you are! All kinds of fabulous gifts I got over the last couple of days. :-) ... Unfortunately, we're about to get a gift that I wish I could send back! Grrr! A HUGE snow storm is heading toward the northeast for Friday. O_O I fear we're gonna be snow-trapped again!! {I wrote a poem about the last time it happened. It's below.}
The weather forecasters say two systems are slamming into each other...whatever that means!...and our area is slated to get anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of snow!! More than a foot!!!...Boston, a short distance away, is gonna get 24 inches!...two feet!!! O_O YIKES!!
Get prepared, people!!!! O_O ... Make sure you have your perishables ready, batteries, and whatever else you need...just in case!...If I could, I would re-gift this one....fast!!! ^_^ ... Have a good day, everybody! :-)
Snow TRAPPED!
TRAPPED! Another snow storm!
Will this "STUFF" never end?!
We've be walloped, punched, and socked,
and now?! Another one on the chin!
'Adding insult to the injury',
there will be an inch of ice!
I guess winter thought we needed
just a little 'SCARY' spice!
Do I sound bitter? Sick of it?
About to lose my snowed-in mind?!
Well, that would be correct!
That is, the brain cells I can find!
TRAPPED! Sick of snow,
and it's icicles everywhere!
Good thing I have crochet!
It will replace my pulled out hair!
