I loved the full moon this week, very dramatic!
 |
| even my little point and shoot captured the magic! |
I liked the neighborhood church doing a Christmas Eve service in the park so we could walk to it!
 |
| I love singing! |
 |
| lots of BIG crocs in Cuba! |
Cuban coffee for everyone! Viva!
We visited the brain games area too. What fun! I was so happy to see so many smart people challenging their problem solving skills too. It was fun to watch teens and younger kids solving complex puzzles. We did pretty well ourselves, and on one game Drew and I won equal times, whew!
Those who are married know what I mean!
I loved getting some gifts from long distance friends this week. Not expected at all, but so full of terrific things that show how well they know me!
Pat in NY sent these really cool fabric fat quarters she collected for me on a trip. She also included some floral scraps, knowing my extreme love of scraps!
 |
| flamingos with gnomes! Flamingos with hearts! COWS!!! |
My friend Ellen sent a box chock full of treasures!!!
 |
| every time I look in I find some new treasure!!! |
I love her for doing this, it lifted my spirits and I felt connected to her. Connection is the one thing above all that I seek in life. I like my comfort, I surely love my husband and pup and fabric, but the connection between me and my friends... priceless.
 |
| see Mary there on the left, and me taking the shot? |
It's been terrific to hear from friends around the globe via cards this week too. Thank you to all for the connections we share.
 |
| Bonjour! with hexies! Whee! |
Milo's Moments
 |
| finally it's my turn! |
I liked walking around Boulder and meeting a 7 month old Airedale puppy Mia... we romped best we could on leashes
 |
| note the tiny hexi tiles |
And hope they drop a cherio.
I have never yet met a black lab I don't like! I met my friend Onyx one morning and the two of us ran and ran and ran and ran on the golf course.
We had to stop when some guy wanted to play through.
Well, gotta go work on destroying these non-destructible toys...

mugs are like potato chips or shoes you can't have enough there is always room for one more ,O))
ReplyDeleteVery cute ornament. How great to see the Christmas Story at a service in the park. Your comment about competition made me smile. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year! Enjoyed seeing your treasures! How nice to have the service in the park! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe llama is adorable. What fun trips you had and a great assortment of gifts. Happy new Year. mary
ReplyDeleteThe moon has been amazing this week - you got some great pictures of it! Love the flamingos with gnomes fabric! And the picture of Milo with the little girl is just precious. He knows when to be gentle and calm and when he can play!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of wonderful things to like. I especially like Milo.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day, Milo. My best to your peeps. ♥
I've been loving mugs for a long time and I can't stop myself from new ones too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of wonderful connections, LeeAnna. Cause for celebration!
Have to rotate the mugs in and out, I think. That's a pretty mug. We saw the moon for a bit but then the clouds covered it. Such fun gifts over there. Oh, love that pink mixer but I'm a Kitchen-Aid snob so if it's not one of those, I'll have to pass ;) Sounds like Milo (and you) had a nice Christmas and time being out and about.
ReplyDeleteAnd, possibly drop a cherrio, hahahaha, Milo. Last week we went to Costco and a food demonstrator dropped 2 wrapped Lindt chocolate balls in our hands. We were in heaven.
ReplyDeleteConnections, LA, I'm with you. That's what life is all about. Cheers!
Scraps from someone else's stash is so fun to receive and use. I love the mixer too.
ReplyDeleteit looked very 40's deco to me, I like stuff like that. The fact that it was pink was a bonus. And that mug... i should go back and get it.
DeleteMy goodness, that looks like a whole big bunch of fun all around and I'm glad your Christmas was Merry Milo! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteLlamanaste. I love it. I'm glad you were pleased with surprise package. You have really great friend, girl. And Milo waiting for a cheerio to drop, what a riot. Happy New Year. Here's to a fabulous year.
ReplyDeletePat
I love to read about your week LeeAnna. It sounds like you had a good time all around. And very nice friends sending you all those surprises. Hope your next week will be as great as this one. Wishing you only good for the year to come. Love and hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThis week has been quick, but that always happens when I am off work! lol Thanks for linking up today.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post. Love those beaded snowflakes - so delicate. God's blessings in the coming New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou received some great, meaningful gifts, which means you have some great friends! I do love that mug! Happy New Year! visiting you from Thursday 13 :)
ReplyDeleteWhat special gifts you received from pals! Mom asks if Miss Mary makes pin cushions for sale, too? When Mom sees flamingos, like on your fabric and the plush toy, it makes her think of her goddaughter that luvs flamingos, too. Mom sent her flamingo-themed gifts at xmas. Winks. -Valentine (& Kerry) of Noir Kitty Mews
ReplyDeleteHi LeeAnna, it is a lovely hexie cup...but we already have too many cups, don't we?
ReplyDeleteMany joyful memories of the week.. Wishing you healthy and happy 2019!
ReplyDeleteThe outdoor light decorations are so much fun to check out at night. Some neighborhoods really go all out.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Thursday 13. What an interesting list you have here. I especially liked the part about your friends and how much they mean to you. It is so important to have that connection. Bravo. I hope you have a great new year - and come on back to visit us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. Thank you for joining us to make Pink Saturdays special.
