Happy New Year and...Happy WOYWW #760! And...as I did last week... Happy T for Tuesday too! I haven't opened my laptop all week, as I've been busy finishing things (or trying to) off. I think I got most of it done (or maybe not) but as they say, 'Time Waits For No one!' At the top is my advent Calender...all the chocolates have been eaten (not all my me) I do still have a few things I want to add to the back and the sides....I was thinking, candy canes and candy and a snowy scene. I'll post a finished picture when it's none and then I can start on the one for next year! 2024.
I stayed at my daughter's for Christmas and Emma and I started Christmas Morning off with a Bucks Fizz. For Boxing day, Tom started his long journey to Deb's (my daughter in law) on his super fast bike and stopped half way for a snack....he sent us this picture. Yum!!
I'm glad you've been enjoying Christmas with family and bubbles!! the mug is fabulous. Happy WOYWW Helen #8

I was in the process of leaving Erika a comment when I head a loud BOOM and the room shook. Then I was in total darkness. It was an outage on my side of the street. The street light and houses/porch lights on the other side of the street were on. Since it was about midnight, I was hoping Sally was awake and would call the electric company, but that was obviously not the case. The first eight hours of darkness were tolerable enough, but after that, all I could do was dig out four warm blankets and add them to my bed. For nearly two days I was without electricity and heat. Even my hot water heater has an electric start. I had just enough hot water to make coffee, something I can't live without. When I woke yesterday, I saw the light on my electric clock was on, but it was still too cold to leave my bed. Just using the toilet was bone chilling. I have an appointment at 12:40 today, so this is a copy and paste message. I will be back after I shower and keep my appointment. Just wanted everyone to know your TSFT host has not forgotten you.

ReplyDeleteYour advent calendar is wonderful! And so big - I bet you can cram quite a lot of stuff in it! I've put washi tapes in mine this year, but I also had one with crystals (semi-precious stones) in it, which was shop-bought - but it's always fun to make your own! Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas - wishing you a lovely NY too! xx zsuzsa #12
ReplyDeleteCor Lyn, your advent calendar is a triumph! Fabulous. And thank you SO much for,sending me that beautiful card, it's been puzzled over and admired here...the magnet piece fooled every one of us to start with! I love it and sincerely doubt my ability to unselfishly re use it....
ReplyDeleteGood to see you started Christmas the bubbly way, very nice. We ended up doing a bit of a mercy dash to Somerset on Boxing Day and I was surprised by the number of services and shops that were open en route, glad that your biker Tom Was well catered for!
This comment begins with another copy and paste. The appointment I referred to in my last comment was for my eye doctor (ophthalmologist). I was sure I was going to learn if my retina was torn and if I needed an operation. Instead, I was taken to seven different rooms by seven little helpers and never once saw the doctor. Each "helper" gave me a different test. Each time they did, they put either one, two, or three different types of drops from different bottles in my eye. I got so tired of hearing the words "blink, blink, blink" after each drop was inserted.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day, I couldn't see a thing. I was given an eye patch to wear over my "good" eye. I must remove it when I shower and wash my face because it cannot get wet. It has put a strain on my "weak" eye and I can barely see anything. However, the little helpers don't believe I have a retinal tear because I apparently exhibit none of the symptoms which I won't go into, except I had a flash of light once. Since I can barely see, I will give a half-hearted attempt to leave you a decent comment.
I LOVE your advent calendar because I collect little trees. Your calendar is fabulous.
You and Erika were on the same wavelength with your Mimosas. And of course, I REALLY want that tree mug. It is absolutely perfect.
Thanks for sharing this TREEmendously wonderful T with us last week, dear Lyn.
