Good Winter Days with Good times



It is another day in February, and it's been cold outside and raining. I like hot teas as well when I got back home from shopping in Keizer Station where Target store is at. Use the $2 paper that takes off money. Found items that were on sale and find what I want to send to someone. 

Caterpillar is on the left side & plant stake on the right.


Late January I drove to church and wanted to make a plant stack. I found out there was a caterpillar was fun to make as well. All were good to use. It took me a while to make both of them and had a good time with ladies that I know that were there. Hopefully you will see the items that I made are in the dining room. Dried items around and high are with them, have to have a fun place to put it.






I drove to a gospel mission February 3rd for knowing what they have gone through last year. It was good to let people inside and talk with some of people that I know that I have seen before. Good Christian music and praising God that 112 people decided to follow Jesus Christ our savior last year!!! Scripture is on the side wall where I was being in the chapel. Once the event was over, there was food to eat that was delicious. Mushroom with items on it, beef that was inside of a bread type wrapper, and a salad with strawberries, other veggies, coconut and whipped topping. It was delicious and I didn't have to pay for it. Good to talk with men who are in need of their lives and being homeless. You can feel God's presence when you are in there.


Phil and I have been working on a puzzle that I got from a friend a few weeks ago. It's like it's in Alaska. Hopefully we will get it done soon so I won't to keep doing it. 



Nice flowers in the women's rest room when we were at Elmers for lunch. 

Valentine's Day is arriving tomorrow here in USA. I finally found the heart with a girl in an area where I put things away. Not seen it for years so obviously it was when our children were young. I put it in the living room with a mug with tea and a few other items that are already there. Valentine's Day is also my birthday. We have plans to go to a restaurant Saturday evening for dinner as I have deal to use for a certain time this month. 






I hope you are all having a good time in your life wherever you are living, being healthy and happy times with family, friends and meeting new people.

Tea time and Chilly days




Good day my friends!! I have been showing pictures that I have taken, and some are downloaded on my phone. I like teas, caffeine and decaf.
Picture above is one that I found in a magazine a few weeks ago. It's connected to England and a man pouring tea for the lady who is there as well. Good memories of being in England years ago. Items that I used when I took photos two different years. I pulled them out of a backpack as I wanted to know what was in there. Those I do not need but it's good memories. Latest one when Megan and I did it in at a park close to our city that we live in.


Two downloaded items that I like due to tea. Good to use when it's cold this time in winter. I do use shoes most of the time, even outdoors and shopping. 

English Breakfast tea that is in a Big Ben tea bag holder.
 I remembering seeing it years ago. I bought it last year to have more fun to share teas with other people who like them. I have had this mug for years and it's who designed it. Do other people have more teas and mugs where you are at? I do put some in garbage when they are getting yucky to drink from. 



I have enjoyed being on Jaquie Lawson's web and doing a "painting"!
 There is one area that you can "paint" on my advent calendar downloaded late November. This photo is the one on my computer then I downloaded the one that I "painted" so I can share it with other friends, especially ladies. The sweater that you view on my blog is one that I did in another area.

***************
January has been colder at times that we wish, especially it was below freezing into the 20 degrees F. Two times this month I didn't go to bible study due to legs hurting due to arthritis and didn't sleep too well one night. I need to do be off the computer and cell phone after 9 p.m.  Reading a magazine, book that is good and bible helps me.  Praying to God my Father who is in heaven helps me and thankful for His help and mercies!!
Take care and have a good time wherever you are visiting from.
God bless you and keep you safe!!

Winter Days with Teas

Wintertime has arrived and I decided to take photos of various items, including mugs that I had tea in. The sticker by the Multnomah Falls is one that I got in December. I need to have fun times taking photos. Sticker is from Dutch Bro's coffee company that has teas as well.

Mug is next to M&M item that I brought home from David's home. We both like M&Ms and I decorated it a bit for Christmas time. The scarf is one that I got from a lady from bible study as there were too many of them at her house. I brought two of them home and going to give one to another lady soon. 


I went to Immanuel Lutheran Church December 20th to as a candlelight service. Good music to celebrate the reason for the season. Some of the people that were there were ones that I know at the adult center. I went there that afternoon after celebrating Megan's birthday with Justin and her boyfriend Matt. We went to Elmers for lunch. Phil had to work or he would have been there as well. Elmers is really close to where we live. 

I did win a prize due to the "ugly sweater" challenge that I wore. I had to ask about the prize lady forgot and gave it to me. The kitchen towel and couple isn't from that prize. I just put it there to look like Christmas. The couple is on that we got for our 25th anniversary.



It was another foggy day and I stopped at Walmart to do a bit of shopping after adult center.  There were a few days with foggy days. Tis the season at times in Oregon. Tumbler in front of the radio on my car. I enjoy listening to Klove with beautiful and blessed Christian music. I use cds as well. I found out that more new cars no not have cd players anymore. 



December 16 late morning I went to adult center for Tote and Teatime. I was able to pick the cup and saucer to drink any type of tea that I wanted. Of course, I had Tower of London tea that is like Earl Grey tea. I remember seeing the Tower of London in real life years ago. The cookies were homemade. The lady who did the tote time showed us different totes to paint on.  I didn't take the teacup and saucer even though I liked it. I have a lot of mugs and cups!!! I did bring some of the cookies home though. 

Tote that I really like and decided what colors to use. Mountains, trees, flowers. One of the ladies told me it looked Washington. I think it's mountains in Oregon. Other ladies did different ones and had a good time together talking while painting and then waiting of the paint to dry. There was wax paper inside the tote to keep in clear on the other side of the tote. I am figuring out what to use it for even though I have a lot of totes. I have been decluttering today and donate items in a few days.


I found the picture on my new computer. It's in Norway last week. I got a new cutting board from Young Living that I attached to my recent order in January. I needed another one as I have an older one that needs to be in garbage. 
🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉
I hope you are all have a good time wherever you are at. It's been really cold at night and in the morning lately and need to make sure we have usable flashlights when in need. God bless you and keep you safe and be kind to all people. Happy New Year!!!
