It's been a lovely birthday. Low key. A nice day with Mom (some needed shopping, coffee and treats), thoughtful cards and a much-appreciated set of mugs! The colors will go nicely with my couple of Fiesta ware dishes.
There is also a sweet pile of dark chocolate to boot. Oh yum.
It is cold outside with some snow flurries. I've made myself a delish gluten-free dinner (see Chef's page) and now I'm making a pot of tea.
All that and a good movie to watch tonight. I feel so blessed that so many remembered 'my' day. Thank you all. :-D
So glad you had a good birthday.
ReplyDeleteAnd dark chocolate ALWAYS is a welcome treat. Enjoy!
Chocolate and ice cream - better than any Rx drug for what ails you. LOL
DeleteMany happy returns, glad you had a good day. Off now to be nosy and see what you had for supper :}
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jayne. We'll have another celebration - equally quiet - next week when Mom turns 90.
DeleteThat sounds like my kind of birthday celebration. Would you believe I have started a small collection of Fiestaware. I wanted something lead-free and made in USA and they are one of the very few left. I just ordered Max an extra mug and got the large style handle; he like the regular handle so I told him he could use the one I got with my place setting. I was so cheap I bought the cheapest color...it is a funny lime yellow green. He wants me to get the red next.
ReplyDeleteThere's something so NICE about Fiesta ware colors, especially the older ones. I find the odd piece now and then at sales, etc. They do make a nice accent to any meal. I'm really liking the larger handle on these mugs. They hold 14oz - and the handle gives me a good grip. Hope you enjoy your real Fiesta ware mugs as much as I'm liking these wannabes. :-D
DeleteWell I really did mean to come back and wish you a happy birthday on your day, but ...(sigh)...(see?...great intentions, but the follow-up is lacking! :(...)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you had a nice day doing what you wanted.
Many happy returns!! :)
It was a very nice day. Thanks! And thanks for popping in. Snow advisories starting tonight and for the ENTIRE week! Crap crap crap.
