These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Sending my mind to the happy place
I'm having a rather rough day here at work, so I'm trying to calm myself on this unseasonably warm (77ยบ) autumn day by dreaming of a white Christmas, and the gifts I ordered for my best friend.
He took his family to London and Paris for Spring Break, and I'm giving him/them mementos of that wonderful trip that are suitable for hanging on their Christmas tree.
These glass ornaments were hand-crafted and hand-painted in Austria. London, especially the subway, was what impressed his daughters most, so I'm happy to see "Mind the Gap" on the London one.
The ornament is lovely. It would have been lovelier to be beating the cubs instead of the dodgers
ReplyDeletePraying that your day got better and that you will have an even better evening.
