Sweet indulgence

Today I decided to spoil myself a little. Take a bit of a Me Day. I started with a great breakfast at the neighborhood church. Toast, eggs, sausage, hash browns and coffee for $6......tasty!

Snows a coming tomorrow, so naturally I had to go buy bread, milk, and toilet paper. Gotta have all the essentials. My grandma would run to the store at the sign of the first flake. I guess it rubbed off on me :)

Then I picked up these lovely delights - French lemon macaroons


An acquaintance's daughter has started a small gourmet bakery at home. I bought a dozen. Eleven by the time I drove home. One "fell" out of the box, into my mouth on the way :). I made tea in a fancy china cup, watched some mindless home Reno shows and nibbled on macaroons for the rest of the afternoon.

Now I'm settled in, indulging in wool. I don't think I'm going to meet my goal of finishing the hooking this weekend, but I'm going to try.

    You have the right idea! Sounds peaceful and relaxing. The snow came here today and I was out shopping for vittles to keep us warm! (chocolate is a must, right?) Have a good rest of this weekend.

    Sounds like you had a good day. I'm so impressed with your rug. I've finished my first two kits and am not sure what to work on next. I bought some primitive linen and want to make a rug for the top of a wooden bench but have to to decide on a design. Hope inspiration comes soon. Have a peaceful Sunday

    Oh....what a perfectly yummy day. You had me at eggs. (Yeah, those French lemon macaroons are coming in at a strong second, but I love me my breakfast foods - especially EGGS!!) Hope you got lost in wooly fun today....I haven't pulled a worm since I went on a walkabout with my GF over a week ago. :o( Smiles & Lemon Hugs ~ Robin
