Getting home took more time. But as I'm wont to do, I stop somewhere along the way for a coffee and to read a good book. That day was no exception but when I got off the bus and went to my neighbourhood Starbucks, every seat was taken! It was pouring rain outside and I've noticed that the neighbourhood shops are always full when that happens.
There was no free table and I couldn't sit outside in the rain. So I bought a lemonade to go and went across the street to the grocery store where they have a little dining area. There I also bought a hot cup of coffee and proceeded to read a few chapters of a book I'd left unfinished for a few weeks.
After my foray into the grocery store I stopped by the post office. A wonderful surprise parcel was waiting for me there.
The parcel was from a blogging friend, Joanne, who has a delightful blog called Cup on the Bus. Joanne is a talented crafts person and she made these beautiful, woven tea towels.
These will be used as covering for bread dough when I set it aside to rise. I think they are far too wonderful to just sit and look pretty but I don't want to use them for drying dishes just yet. That will come later ;-)
So I want to send a big "THANK YOU" to Joanne for her kindness and generosity.
I absolutely love my gift.
Go on over and have a look at her blog. She is an amazing grandmother and caretaker to several teens. She also amazes me with her very full schedule of gardening, chaperoning, accounting, etc.
On Friday I went to meet some friends I haven't seen in decades, literally! Wow I can't even believe it's been that long. One of them is my Sunday School teacher and the other is her son. We had a really nice lunch together and tried to catch up on as much news as possible in the time we had.
If all goes well we will see each other again next year.
After a full week of rain I'm happy to see the sun again.
Have a wonderful weekend. xx
