Something for Sunday

A little of this and that for the day.

These little 'ol ladies--soon to be 98 (oh my gosh!) are friends of mine for 30+ years in my bridge world. Betty in blue and Louise in front. Louise lives at Mary Queen of Angels Assisted Living. Connie and I go over there to play bridge with them about twice a month. We took them out to lunch for Christmas. They are so much fun and really sharp when it comes to bridge. Betty still drives. Louise did too until she fell and broke her shoulder exactly one year ago. That's when she decided to she needed to live at MQA. She's very social so she had no problem adjusting.

On to Stephanie's house.

A pretty inviting entry!

I love the lights. 

Her table is so pretty. I love all of her new decor!

And then their tree! Everything is so festive and cheery. I just love Christmas!

I found these cute little gingerbread mug riders at Trader Joe's. I'll be setting up a beverage bar for Christmas. I'll share that later.

Hmmm, which to buy? Okay, I settled for the old one with the black circle logo. I think the new cans look too generic.

My first thought was that "Strawberry Lime Chilly" sounded disgusting. Then I re-read it and realized they were just playing around with "chilly" and NOT "chili!" I wonder how many other people didn't get it right away? My brain just read the word and thought Mexican.

 

This took every bit of my willpower not to buy any of this at 2 for $6.00. So pretty. But, considering I have 3,278 BIG plates and 5,000 matching napkins that I got from Sam's, I was able to pass. But I guarantee you that before I use up all of the ones from Sam's, I'll be sick of them and give them away! In fact, I might just hand out a stack to everyone who leaves my house!

As I was pulling out recipes for Christmas, I came across this cute little cherub--a Christmas present from Elizabeth in 2011! I think she was 5 or 6.

I love fun surprises!!

Okay, on to the next thing! I hope you are having a fun and festive holiday season!
