I had a really great day today.
I was invited to go out to breakfast by my friend Panda as a thank you for caring for her kitty. We met up at her place at 8:30 a.m. and when we went to leave I couldn't find my purse. I checked my car thinking I'd maybe left it in there. Nope! As I'd left home, I had my arms filled with parts to my Celtic Solstice that I wanted to show her and was carrying my coffee mug and keys and managed to miss grabbing my purse, which was right there by the door.
Panda drove and we went by my place to pick up my purse, she's such a sweet friend. We then went to a breakfast place that we both like, but I'd only ever been there twice before. They're well-known locally for the dozens of varieties of omelets. We both had omelets and biscuits with gravy....yummmmy and we each took half home! Yep, really big servings, and they had BIG cups of coffee.
We then went back to her place and as she moved into her home just last November, or was it end of October?, anyway, since her husband's passing in October, and moving into a house about half the size of her previous one, she still has a garage full of boxes, so we worked on sorting through about a half dozen or so which made her feel really good and best of all, she found her missing camera in one of the boxes.
After that, we went inside and chatted, and discussed quilty stuff and some of her plans and just had a really fine time of friendly fellowship. We will do this again. And, in a couple weeks, I get to care for her kitty again, but only for a week this time, while she heads out of state to visit her son, daughter-in-law and grand-kids.
I'm sorry I have no pictures. I had my camera, but didn't even think to get it out of my purse...there wasn't much to photo anyway...maybe a shot of a few empty U-Haul boxes might have been of interest. Nah, probably not.
Oh, and an interesting tip that Panda shared with me so that I wouldn't forget my leftovers from breakfast, which I had put into her refrigerator, was to put my car keys in the refrigerator on my container. Is that smart or what...no way could I forget them!
Sounds like you had a really lovely day!! The company of a sweet friend can do that. And her tip is brilliant -- I have left my leftovers many times over and wouldn't have if I'd put my keys on the carryout box! Thanks for sharing that one! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice of you to help her go through boxes. I imagine it would be a bothersome and painful task to do alone.
