My week has been a sweet adventure. Sunday and Monday I got to visit my daughter and help put a few finishing touches on my grand baby's room. We even packed bags for the hospital, and now we wait.
Back home Tuesday, Mr. J&C and I put up Christmas lights on the outside of the house and visited with our neighbors. We caught the folks next door out decorating on Tuesday evening and took our bottle of wine over to visit - with glasses for them! Sharing is one of the perks of friendship. I highly recommend it. Standing out in the lovely evening air (the high temperature that day was in the 70's, it was 60 or so just after sunset), lights sparkling, visiting with neighbors who have become friends - life can be perfect.

Wednesday I got to meet and have lunch with fellow blogger, Jenny Schouten Short. Her beautiful blog, Two Tumbleweeds, is one of my favorites. Jenny is a native Texan, who spends half of her year in the Netherlands (the hot half!) and half the year in Fort Worth. We enjoyed lunch at a local antique mall and got a chance to get to visit with each other. Looking back on the day, I am reminded of the expression "A friend is a present you give yourself."
On Thursday, Mr. J&C and I shopped and prepared for the coming ice storm, which arrived as predicted late Thursday night. And we've been here in the house ever since, because, trust me, it's cold outside.

It was a warm week for me in so many ways though the weather outside is frightful! I've thouoght of our nice conversations all weekend as I sit inside and sew sequins and beads on my little girls' jackets. You should have gotten that sign! Stay warm. xo Jenny
I spotted you over on Yonks. How strange to read a blog from over the pond and find a neighbor. We are new in Cow Town. Building a house here.
This storm is frightful! We did venture out yesterday as we were docents at the Ryan Place Home Tour.
Happy blogging!...janey
