Friday Recap

Yesterday's recap (for anyone wondering lol).

Coffee with the local women's political group and a mayor-elect. I learned so much about the history, town, and future plans. I'm going to go as often as I can to the Friday coffees. I learn a lot and enjoy the connection to the women and the town.

Rug came and ... drum roll ... I love it. Turns out I did NOT order the really colorful one that made me a little nervous. Kept to color, but in more muted tones.

The BEFORE. 

Stained, scratchy, corners chewed off. 

The rug upside down to show less stain.

Big Marketplace fail (shouldn't have sent hubby).

The AFTER. 

Already happier. 

Blue, green, gold, brown.

Stay tuned for the progression. 

It might take a minute to find a quilt. Struck out on initial look. It needs to be a small pattern or stripes or plaid. Big pattern will compete, rather than compliment (I think).

The artwork will be colorful too -- I have a good mix already. The big picture over the bed and the print of my aunt's art will stay. The wall across the bed and on the other side is getting the makeover. 

Hubby and I tried another restaurant - an old dinner from the 1980s. 

Great food, good price. 

Nice walk.

Stopped at a fancy chocolate store that was recommended by my aunt. 

Got two kinds of marshmallows to do a taste test on Sunday.

Proud of myself for not opening any last night -- I was tempted.

Worked on Christmas stuff for the rest of the afternoon. 

That leads me to today. 

A local hike.

Christmas prep.

Christmas party.

It'll be a good day, but I really wish parties were in the afternoon hah! 

Hope you have a good one too. Later gators.
