Tonight I am putting in tomatoes, onion, pepper, basil, and some pineapple, chop it up and stir fry it a little and put over rice! Yum! I think tomorrow I will make guacamole! The daughter is coming for dinner on Fri. I will make her a smoothie!
While I was in PA I had a blast! I really did not want to come home! I have changed my mind. If I ever choose to live somewhere else, I would choose to live in Lewisburg! What a great city! It really reminds me a lot of Ithaca actually, being a college town (Bucknell U.) and having all the specialty shops and coffee shops!
On Christmas day the hubby and I opened gifts. One of my gifts to the hubby was a K-cup coffee maker! So we had fun playing with that! We tried all kinds of coffee! It was so nice on Christmas day (45) we went for a walk around the neighborhood, there are some GORGEOUS houses! That night we over to one of his co-workers' for turkey dinner. It was fun!
The day after Christmas (Mon.) I got together with my friend Jen (At Random) and went shopping for the day. It was so much fun and she showed me where all the good stores are - Kohl's, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Michael's, Target, we never made it to the mall, but I now know where it is! Thanks Jen, I had so much fun!
Then on Tues. I had lunch with another friend in a great restaurant! and just spent the rest of the day shopping by myself, Barnes & Noble and little gift shops in Lewisburg.
On Wed. I went to this HUGE great farmer's market! It is open every Wed. I tell you, if I lived there I would never shop at a grocery store again! It was all individual venders (farmers, Amish, Mennonite, etc.) they had a meat market, a fresh fish market, fresh made cheeses, fruits, veggies, grains, jellies, baked goods, and even books! It was amazing! Then I went to a local Museum "The Packwood House" (click on it to check it out), I love history so this was so interesting for me. And back to B&N (I practically lived there!)
I left to come back home Thurs. It was sad, I wanted to turn around and go back!
How was everyone's Christmas? Tell me some of your fav. gifts!
Next post I will post some pictures of the daughter and her opening her gifts!

I have the Magic Bullet but she's getting old (got her at my Bridal Shower in 07).
Sounds like you had a great Christmas. Love the bracelet. Good taste! Never heard of Ninja Kitchen System. I actually like the cake/cookie stand using it as a candle stand better.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have a favorite gift, I love them all. Each one is very special to me.
Have a great time with Ashley.
I guess I should think about taking down the Christmas deco.
Love Ya,
Mom
Well, let's see.... I think my favorite gift was a turtle ring that my mom got me. It is a pinkish color with the 'shell' being all pink jewels, and the legs, head and tail all move on it! It is so cool!! Then, my next favorite would have to be all the gift cards that I got. Between gram, and all the kids at work I got over $250 worth! Boy, did I go shopping!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the bracelet! It was pretty easy to divert your attention while she went to get it, all I had to do was say "Look mom, coffee" and you were distracted. :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you would cry when you opened the book, just like I know you're going to cry when you read it. I know how much he meant to you, which is why I wanted you to have his last words. Don't just read it, but really feel it, allow yourself to cry and call me if it gets too hard.
Love the steelers jacket! We should wear ours out somewhere at the same time!
Lewisburg sounds amazing, hope I can come visit soon!!
I had fun too, next time we'll have to visit the BN. Did you end up checking out the overlook?
ReplyDeleteIf you make it down my way I can take you to another farmers market but I don't think it's quite as snazzy as the one in Lewisburg...lots of good food though...and a use book store inside :)
I loved all your gifts - especially that Ninja gadget! And how sweet of your hubby to get you that bracelet. You are going to get addicted to the K-cup maker - I love mine. Try the spiced apple cider!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog post. I can just 'hear' the excitement in your 'voice'. Love the bracelet.
ReplyDeleteFinishing a book, not sure if I saw a review from you....I had never read this author before. Gayle Roper, this is the 2nd of series (yes, I read the other one too). But I thought of you because of the strong females in this series. Summer Shadows is this one.
