A lot of wonderful days

I hope to blog more about my parents visit

but for now I will just say that it was wonderful.

They are safely back home now.

I had tea and lunch with a newer local friend today

and that was so nice.

See the white tray on the left, above, behind the PB and Jam?

That was a VNA sale find!

This is a busy week for me,

so if I don't blog a lot, it's just that

I am busy...baking tomorrow I hope, NYC Wednesday,

errands Thursday and a whole day to be home without errands finally 

on Friday.

I feel like I am in the calm of a storm and am trying to 

keep myself busy and not dwell on the unbloggable problems

so that I will be more ready to face them when things 

go on, however they will be going on.

One last fun thing,

this is the beautiful plates I found at the VNA rummage sale last week,

amazingly all 6 plates (2 sets) for 8 dollars! 

My Dad and Husband did the math together to figure out how to have them

exactly centred for the drilling.

And now I have 2 gorgeous three tiered tea trays.

(I had ordered the hardware for these stands + the drill bits online

and had them waiting for my Dad and I to go to the sale and find plates for this!)

Also my friend who came to tea gave me really nice chocolates/candy

and the tray they are on is another super cheap VNA find!

and I got a new pretty tea strainer:

Also at the VNA for an amazing price of $3.00.

I am so grateful for the treat of such nice candy plus the VNA finds

that tea and lunch was such a fun and nice event today.

I hope to have one again soon!

But the rest of this week is busy but I am glad for that.

Thanks everyone who reads my words and cares.

I know I am at peace in all of this (at least for now, I am weak when it comes to 

peace and maintaining it) is because of the care and prayers of others.
