Last night when I got home I discovered that Fletch had put up a few things in the kitchen!
We discovered that we needed more tags for gifts...ones that were small, so Fletch ran out yesterday to pick up some. he ended up taping 3 to the curtain rod by the kitchen sink. The Swarovski Ornaments hanging are ones we get each year at work. We've been getting them for 17 years now! All are hanging in the windows in our kitchen (the latest one was given out Monday at our luncheon).
The upper sill holds a few treasures: An old stove paint bottle from Fletcher's Grandmother's home, a red birdhouse ornament that we leave out year round, and two flasks from my Dad's work as a research chemist.
Fletch put up 3 more tags on the hood over our stove:
You can click to enlarge. The center one is a little camper! (Don't look at the dust and grime, please...I need to clean! But that doesn't seem to be a priority - lol)
When Colin was a little guy, we used to hang different holiday garlands all over the kitchen, but as we have aged and Colin has moved out, we tend to put out less and less. I was happy to see these small whimsical touches from my guy yesterday afternoon. They make me smile.
I've been giving some thought to a word for 2020. I don't feel as though I did a very good job picking a word for 2019 (Strength) (2018 was Adventure). But I think I've hit upon a gem for 2020. I feel as though it is going to be a very good word for me and something to focus on in the New Year.
We are going to my Uncle's funeral in Maryland tomorrow, so I will wish you all a wonderful weekend now - Enjoy!!
Wishing you and Fletch safe travels to the funeral and back. I enjoyed seeing his decorating in the kitchen, especially the taped tags! The camper is my favorite as you could probably guess. :-) I love the idea of getting such beautiful ornaments each year. That's so special and a tangible reminder of a job you seem to love.
