Advent is the "new year" of the church calendar. And it always seems like a new year to me. Things in my head change and I begin to look at things differently. It isn't the end of the year to me, but the beginning of a new and exciting time. I guess that's why I love Christmas. And only 27 days to Christmas Day.
It was a beautiful sunrise this morning. I had to get a picture of it. But it was much prettier than the picture shows.
I had planned to do cleaning and decorating today but ended up not doing either. Instead I went to Rite Aid to pick up two of my medications. While I was there I saw some great sales and I picked up a few things we needed. But I also picked up some things we didn't need. I saw these cute Christmas plates the other day and today I decided to get them. They were $3 each. I got two dinner plates and two salad plates. We tend to use the smaller plates for breakfast or lunch. They are so cute!
These are for every day. I have pretty white china plates with gold rims and a holly pattern for good. I'll have to take a picture of them to show you.
The other thing we did was go to get Joe a haircut. He likes to go to Supercuts so we headed over there. The stylist he usually gets was off today, but the girl who did his hair did a terrific job. As he said, he has never gotten a bad cut there.
We came home and I thought I would get right on my chores and instead I fell asleep for a couple of hours. So...
instead of cooking dinner we ended up with left over turkey sandwiches. *sigh* Well, at least the turkey did not go to waste.
So now I'm going to type up the notes for my Bible Study tomorrow morning. It's another busy week for me. But I hope I can get some cleaning/decorating done. So until later...

Love the Tigger & Pooh! Soooo cute! I can see why you got the plates.A happy way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteI think each of us have had a 'not the day I planned'day.Start again tomorrow! A new day!
I picked up the plates, put them down and went home the other day. Yesterday I bought them. I don't need them, but I'll pack them away after the season and they will be fine for next year.
DeleteI love the cute plates! And it sounds like you got a lot done my friend. We had leftover turkey last night too. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get done nearly as much as I would have liked. But I just keep plugging away. The plates are cute, aren't they.
DeleteThe Snoopy holiday plate is very festive! Good find! I finished the turkey yesterday in a sandwich for lunch. We got steak last night at Texas Roadhouse! It felt good to get out and about, including a stop at Hobby Lobby for some craft supplies.
ReplyDeleteI like Texas Roadhouse. I think I will have to make a stop there soon. Oh, Hobby Lobby. We don't have one but wish we did. I hear it's a great store.
DeleteKathy, Some days all my plans go to the wayside...I end up doing something totally unplanned. Or just run around in circles.LOL I love the new plates..cause you know I am crazy for the Peanuts characters. Blessings for a great day there. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI have those running around in circles a lot! I knew you would like the plates. I even thought of you when I bought them.
DeleteCute plates! 😊
