I met Christmas today

 

 

 

What a fun Friday it's been. Bill and I spent much of the day together. We took his Mom out for banking, doctors appt., and groceries. Then we hopped back over the bridge to do some errands for Karen who was still nursing Olivia.( yucky flu bug) We did some Christmas shopping errands for Laura. Then I dropped Bill at home, where he did some shovelling for a neighbor and I headed to meet Christmas.

I am Christmas !!!

Now, I've heard it said that my sweet friend, Monica claims to be Christmas. Well, after visiting her today I think she rightly can say this....what a delightful visit I had with her......cookies coming fresh out of the oven, Christmas apron in place and then I walked around her home....it oooozed of a beautiful Christmas spirit....I really didn't want to leave.....so I took photos with me....and I just have to share !!! Walk with me and have a peek into the most charming Christmas house.

 

 

 Her charming staircase....the beautiful pewter Christmas collection

Now one last photo for today....when I arrived back  home...we had one more event.

We headed out to Freddie's Fish and Chip Restaurant with our neighbors...Janet and Jim. It was a very impromptu event, but much enjoyed and our way of thanking the paperboy ( private joke)

Janet and Jim visited after for dessert and chatter. A great time with sweet neighbors

Here is fun Freddie and her crew
