| Some Sweet Gifts |
Hope you all had a great weekend, I know we did.
On Saturday, a good friend of mine came by, we exchanged gifts and went for a cold, sunny walk (-6C). Husband M joined us for lunch afterwards. My poor friend hurt her arm lifting something carelessly the week before to the point where she couldn't even type an email. She was 98% better though. We just have to slow down in middle age!
Son K had gone to an all day course which might prepare him for a job with the town next year. We'll see what comes of that, either way, he'll get a nice certificate of completion. Then he had to rush straight off to tennis. He was exhausted.
Some other friends called, trying to arrange a get together, easier said than done with 3 families. Now we have to consider the schedules of almost grown kids, especially who is in town and when.
That evening I walked to church and picked up new 2012 church envelopes. I noticed everyone following the mass using the provided program sheets with the new responses which are now in effect. On the walk back home, I had to pause a few times to admire the bright, full moon against a clear, dark sky. I saw a few bright stars. It was a beautiful, cold night.
That same night another long time friend phoned. Every year they drop by and visit their friends, bearing home baked goodies. It was nice to sit and chat for a little while. One of their daughters was in town, so it was great to see her too.
It was a full day. I was even able to make a beef stew for supper! Whew!

sounds like a full but wonderful day! Lovely traets as well, the toblerone are a big hit in this house!
I would have loved that night sky, too. It's been awhile since I took a stroll at night. I hope K gets that job. Good luck to him. And nice to visit with old friends.
You seem to have had a full but lovely day. Wish I had been there for that beef stew! Valerie
sounds like a perfect weekend to me and ending it with that delicious beef stew is just perfect:)
