Tuesday after Christmas....

Good Evening to one and all..

Just dropping by for a short chat tonight.. It is almost bedtime..

I wanted to show you a pic that I took a couple of weeks ago of my precious Dolphin plant... I posted a pic several months ago and it only had one bloom.. This time there were two..

There was a third bud but it did not bloom..

Anyway, this plant has taken me a couple of years to even get it to grow this big.. I love the thing, though.. grin..

Today was another lovely day.. My husband loves going shopping for Boxing Day sales every year.. Today was no exception and we were up quite early and headed into the city..

My, what crowds of people .. Not really my cup of tea but we only went to a few shops.. I did find a few great thrift store deals as the Christmas trims had 75 percent off..

We went out for lunch to my favorite place..

East Side Mario's.... It is not Terry's  fave but I really appreciated it.. I think maybe I should have been born in Italy.. grin..

The meal was delicious.. Italian Wedding Soup... yuuummmm...

After we arrived home Terry got ready and went up to our old farm.. He made a fire and worked at heating the old house  up for tomorrow.. We are going up for the whole day tomorrow.. Lord willing... smile..

Here is a pic of some old dishes that we have up there..

A dear old sister in our church gave this set to me a few years ago and I cherish them...

We will be eating a couple of meals there so I need to get up early and pack up some food..

Terry has some carpenter work to do and I always have a great time reading and cooking..

I putter around arranging the old stuff that we have up there...

Nothing valuable at all but old fashioned..

This old farm used to belong to my Dad's sister and I can just imagine her going there as a young bride..Bless her heart..

Last year about this time it looked like this...

This year though the driveway is still clear..

Anyway, I hope you are all getting rested after the busy time..

I will try and take a few pics of our day tomorrow and post them after we get home.. OK?

I miss my kids tonight.. It is always like that after they have all been home and then go back to their own places and their own lives..

That is mainly why Terry thinks we should go up there for the day..

It relaxes both of us and we enjoy each other's company.. That is good thing as all there are up there are hills and coyotes.. grin..

Just kidding... There are many lovely neighbors.. we just can't see them..smile..

Have a blessed evening..

Hugs..
