It was a gorgeous, sunny Saturday here in Windsor, and what did I do? Lucky me got to stay inside all day to wash load after load after load (after LOAD) of laundry – my own because I’d procrastinated for far too long, and Peter’s because he can’t get downstairs yet to do it himself.
Fun day, huh?!
But it wasn’t all boring. This morning brought a surprise delivery to our door – a huge “get well” basket full of goodies for Peter from his sister. So nice! And because Peter is a kind and sharing soul, I am now sitting down to relax with a cup of Organic Cream of Earl Grey tea and a few of the delicious and buttery mini shortbread cookies that were included in his gift.
100 Happy Days – Day 78
So very happy-making – partly because of the kindness of the gift… partly because Peter is so sweet… partly because it feels great to relax and put my feet up after a busy and productive day… partly because this tea smells and tastes absolutely divine… partly because I adore shortbread cookies… and partly because these are my first shortbread cookies of the season, which means that Christmas is coming!
Sweet indeed.

I can see why ‘organic cream of earl grey’ is sublime and divine for me too! I too treated myself to a nice hot earl grey tea too! 😉 <3

Earl grey is lovely anyway, but this particular brand/variety is divine!

Yet, another reminder that I need to START baking. Or can you send me some of yours?

LOL, I have a feeling they won’t last long enough! 😉 But if you search my blog for “whipped shortbread” you’ll find the most divine recipe from my mom – if you like shortbread, you must give this variety a try!

I am so glad you and Peter liked the basket Laurel. And we all know caregivers need a bit of care and rest too. So enjoy. Hugs to you both.

Laurel – that tea looks (and probably smells) divine. I am going to look for it at the grocer’s. What a nice treat for you and Peter!

It is delicious! If you do a search for Davids Tea you’ll find it, and I believe you can even order it online.

Being at home with my favourite pull, a cup of cherry tea and my doggie made me so happy! Sadly tomorrow I have to go back to routine, agh…

That sounds lovely! Hope getting back to the regular routine wasn’t TOO shocking. 🙂

Three years ago, my daughter was in the hospital for several days. Wifey was staying with her. I was left home alone. For some reason, I found it therapeutic to wash and dry clothes. I got them all. As each load cycled through, I piled them on our bed. When Wifey came home, she said, if I had one more load of clothes, they would have made it to the ceiling fan… I got lessons in how to fold and put away clothes that day.

LOL! Yes, the folding part is kind of important!
