TGIF 1-4-19

Good Morning!

So far I've done a good job of writing 2019 rather than 2018...I'm sure I'll slip back at some point.  Anyway, TGIF!  It has been easier than I expected getting back to work (but I'm missing my days at home) probably because it has been busy.  I'm ready for the weekend.

No real plans other than going to Costco tomorrow with Colin (wishing our Costco sold wine...).  I may try to hit the outlets as well.  I love Ann Taylor and Loft clothes and ended up with six (6!!!) $12.50 coupons from them (part of a class action suit), so that adds up to $75 off.  Woo-Hoo!  I don't really *need* anything, but maybe I could refresh a top or two...or a sweater...or find a gift for a friend.

Colin was over last night an we played some Cribbage (which I won!).



The board is a new one that Colin got me for Christmas.  Here's a better shot of it:


Lake Dunmore is near where I spent time every summer.  A friend of my Mom's had a camp on the lake and we would spend at least a month each summer there.  The map of the lake is like a topographic map in that it shows the varying depths of the lake.  The smaller lake to the right is Silver Lake which we used to hike to each summer.  Such a cool, unexpected, fun gift!  I love it.

Well, I need to get moving - I've got a conference call in 15 minutes and another one after that.

Happy weekend everyone - enjoy!!

  1. That is a unique and original cribbage board! Our Costco doesn't sell wine either, which was a big disappointment when I finally joined. Enjoy $$ off at Anne Taylor/Loft, along with the rest of your weekend!

    And I *know* I could find something with that $$ to spend--pretty much anyplace!

  7. I miss Costco. They always gave out really good free samples. The one we used to go to when Daughter lived in VA sold wine. They had such great prices and an amazing selection.

  9. What a cool cribbage board -- and meaningful, too!!! I love playing Cribbage (although we just have a plain, old boring board). My Costco does sell wine. . . I'll not rub it in. Enjoy the weekend. XO

  10. Neat cribbage board. My Dad and his factory buddies used to play all the time. They taught me when I was quite young. I swear I was the only seven year old who know how to play both cribbage AND chess!

  12. Those are great coupons and what a wonderful gift from Colin. It definitely shows that he put a lot of thought into the gift doesn’t it? I’m glad it’s Friday for you. I know Dennis is glad too, although we have a fairly busy weekend planned. Blessings, Betsy
