Willy Nilly Friday

So, here I am... waiting for snow.... a little snow... not as much as if I was home. But, my visit with my son is such fun. I wouldn't trade it for a ton of snow.

I am hooking up with  Willy Nilly Friday

1. Isn't it odd? I mean how old friends can just pick up right where they left off. I hadn't seen a friend of mine since 1998 and found out she lives just a few miles from my son. So, we had lunch together and caught up.

2. My grandson gave me this fabulous artist box as a Christmas present. I brought it along on my visit to my sons. My son works during the daytime so I have lots of time to hone a bunch of rusty skills.

3. One day I thought I'd do some sketching. I've never done sketching before and neither of these turned out very well.

4. I got my son's little terrier a glow-in-the-dark collar so he can locate her when she goes outside at night. She's a good little dog. I am enjoying her.



5. Tomorrow (the 6th) is my birthday. Since I am not home I am getting some gifts in the mail here and some went to my apartment. This box arrived today.

It was marked 'perishable' so I had my son open it to see if it needed attention or could wait until tomorrow. I am curious as a cat.  Should I take just one little peek?

No, I WILL WAIT until my birthday rolls around.

  1. Such a wonderful box full of colors, that's a great gift. And a glowing collar is the best for a little dog... It's hard to wait with opening, isn't it?
    Enjoy your day
