Also setting the tone for the week was a really nice surprise waiting for me when I got home this evening. A blogging-friend who lives in France saw these mugs in a shop in England and thought of us. How very, very thoughtful and kind, don't you think?
I hope your week is off to a good start too!
And I hope you're planning on voting!

ReplyDeleteHey Golden Pines Gang, Jet here. Hi Miss Kim.
ReplyDeleteMom and JJ LOVED the mugs in particular. So kind of your friend for sending them. I always feel kind of left out, since my mixed heritage is NEVER represented. :(
Oh we can tell from your photo that your week started off with happiness... hope it continues and you are NOT affected by the incoming Nor'easter.
Those mugs are adorable!! Thank you for the kind words about Fred, you are still my inspiration and Ill never understand how you do it with the passing of all the sweet goldens that cross your paths but you are an amazing woman. It does get easier with time.
ReplyDeleteOh Todd looks like he is thinking hard on what can I get into without be caught. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
