Good morning!
Gosh it is cold this morning (22) and winds are forecast. I dislike wind SO MUCH (even in the hot summer, I do not like wind).
I had a successful time yesterday practicing at retirement. LOL Fletch and I drove out to Oley mid-morning to Repperts where we loaded up with 2 lbs of dark chocolate covered pretzels, some candied fruit slices, some all sorts (I can be a licorice fiend) and even a Bonomo Turkish Taffy - remember those? I loved the banana flavor and got one. Not sure it will be as good as my memory, but whatever. There were tons of chocolate bunnies and crosses for the upcoming Easter season, but we didn't get any of those.
The drive out to Oley was nice - country roads and snow along the roadsides. Pretty. But geeze traffic was heavy. I think we were spoiled by the pandemic with no one being on the road...now EVERYONE seems to be out and about.
Pre-pandemic Fletch and I used to go to the Limerick Diner for breakfast once in awhile. But they closed during the pandemic. Now they are open again, so that is where we stopped for lunch. It was ok - not great, but a warm cup of coffee tasted good. There is now a tavern attached to the back of the diner. The Flying Pig Tavern.
Fletch bought me a book of poetry:
These are too funny. The author is the same one who came out with a book of poems by cats titled "I Could Pee on This" which Colin had given me some years ago. LOL
Fletch also found gifts for Mabel, Marcel and Talbot. They haven't seen them yet...but they will.
These are spring loaded (I think rubber band?) butterflies that you are supposed to place in a book and then get someone to open it and SURPRISE - a butterfly springs out. He thought we could just launch them into the air. I think we will wait and try that with Mabel OUTSIDE. She gets crazy enough inside at times.
We had a quiet evening - I stitched and Fletch watched TV. Even though I really, really want a cream puff (did you see Carole's Blog?) I'm thinking of making some Korean veggie pancakes for lunch. Hoping your Thursday is going well!
