Our Texas Sunrise
January 18th, 2021
There is nothing exciting to report
but these are a few snippets of January days......
I so enjoy changing out my little workstation
to feature some of my favorite collectibles...
my sister gave me this darling little New Orleans
teapot which she found at an Estate Sale a few
years ago...she is just so sweet!

For a winter feel in the formal dining room,
I added this beautiful placemat for placing

We were invited down for dinner at our son's home
where we social distanced and enjoyed a roaring fire
outdoors by the pool, and a fantastic dinner
of steak, twice baked potatoes, asparagus, homemade French bread
and hot apple pie!

It felt marvelous to get dressed up a bit, go somewhere,
see family and share time together....
the lockdown pretty much continues.....

I love that now that the darling has retired
he can enjoy early morning walks...even in the misty cold mornings....

Let's talk Valentine's Day....
I have planned something a little special for the love of my life...
taking something ordinary and transforming this into something
fun and unexpected....kinda excited for this...stay tuned......

Texas in January seems awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll put chicken pot pie on my menu this week! My guys love it and so do I!
Hi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! Every one of your photos is so evocative! The New Orleans teapot is darling and the placemat is so pretty. The food images look so tasty and full of comfort. :) Mae Mobley sure is an elegant lady. :D Life is good here, too; I happen to really like this time of the year. It's nice to be cozy indoors, especially when the sun is shining like today.
Hope you have a great weekend!!
Hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
