New Wall Art

Got some Asheville shopping for the picture wall redo in the primary bedroom in GA.

Marketplace.

Two new shops.

Sadly, 2 other FB Marketplace pictures were available, but didn't respond until late last night and I'm leaving this morning.

Such good deals. 

Charles Dickens scene on tile.

Hand painting of mushrooms.

Loved the colors in this
old print ... and the frame.

Biggest score. $20
Tree of Life, signed, numbered.

And I bought 2 new pictures for here. Both original paintings. Didn't take a picture of the bedroom one yet.

Bottom oil painting.
Mountain, winter scene.

Decorated. 

Scaled back a bit because we won't be here much. 

(Didn't add lights to the fireplaces or mantels.)

It's still festive.

Christmas mugs
watching TV

On a timer so the house
looks nice from the street.

All the stockings.

Other fireplace

I'm bringing some decorations home. I like them too much and want to see them throughout December. Traveling by car makes swapping stuff easy. 

Disturbing news a the teahouse -- they discontinued the decaf version of chai -- what?!?! I hope the barista was wrong. Nothing was mentioned the day before. She said she would request it special for me anyway. Everything is made and brewed from scratch and individually. They'll have the tea available, but not brewed with spices (but it's all separate). I hope it's just an off-menu item now. I can't see why they can't continue to make it. It's loose tea steeped, removed, and then steeped again with spices. 

Anyway ...

I don't feel horrible today. The cold is holding steady and relatively mild with cold meds on board. 

I'll workout, but not sure if I'll run, walk the mountain, or ride the Peloton. Very indecisive this trip. 

I'd like to run ... might be too much with this cold (but I have a 5K on Thursday).

Mountain walk takes a couple of hours ... I need to get on the road (but the mountain is so healing).

I can ride the Peloton at home ... but I need to clock a workout for the new week.

I don't know. 

Decision for later this morning. 

Hope you are set for a good week. Thanksgiving is upon us -- lots to do, lots of everything (good and bad). I hope the week sticks the landing. Later gators.
