I celebrated with a very special friend.
Finished knitting a hat.
Stayed inside.
Emma took our car back to Chicago for the day. So I am car less.
Really the only hardship was not having my Chai.
And I was okay with that.
Apparently my husband wanted to make my day!
He left work, went to Starbucks, delievered my Chai and Katie's hot chocolate and then went back to work.
How sweet is that?
The sweetest!
Feeling very thankful for a thoughtful husband and a warm house.
Donna
The sweetest, for sure! He's a keeper ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the first photo - a place to linger, and have a 2nd cup of whatever.
Brrr - stay warm!
I agree with Susan ... what a lovely venue for a special lunch! Ah, chai!! Had one (the biggest they have) from a favorite place just this morning ... did the banking, post office and other errands in our sub zero temps and it was my "reward" for venturing out. Katie looks as happy with her cocoa as you are with your chai! Good day, my friend! Linda
ReplyDeleteI am telling you it is the gnat bites of life that drive us crazy, and the smallest gestures of kindness and love that win our hearts. What a guy !! LOVE Katie's hat. She looks adorable in anything, but I love her in hats. Loved the wedding pics. They look very happy and in love, as it should be. God Bless them.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes the best Americanos and brings me one every morning. Like I said on FB, coffee is my love language, so I think Patrick is a gem!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the wall in that first picture. And going out to eat with a dear friend? One of my favorite things in the whole world.
Merry Christmas all! And Happy New Year, too!
Love,
DI
Did you watch the call the midwife Christmas special? It was great
ReplyDeleteIs that Quivey's?? I haven't been there in years!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful husband! I was watching the news and I saw how cold it is up there...being from the south...I can not even fathom what y'all do when it's that cold! It's 40 deg. here today and I can't get warm enough. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou are always a blessing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for recommendation of The Paradise - we've been watching season 1 and love it!
Also, would you please share the hat pattern? I would love to make that for my daughter.
Enjoy the season...
The hat pattern is called Elizabeth by Jane Richmond

DeleteHigh lights, hats, hot drinks and a helpful hubby…the blessings of a day by D. Boucher.
ReplyDeleteLiking it all and sending warm hugs.
love and prayers, jep
PS Katie's drink was hot in temperature and yours is hot in style. ;-)
That restaurant looks so cozy. Love the hat, too. And your delivery guy - how nice!
ReplyDeleteI don't often comment but a solid "goodonya" to Patrick. So kind of him to think of the two of you and to model that behavior for your girl. I've read you for ages. Since you became a regular on Ree's blog. I've prayed for your family and followed your blessings. All the best. I really enjoy your photography.
ReplyDeleteBless your husband's heart. How very sweet. And Donna, that temperature! I have never been where the thermometer read -15 in my life...bundle up and do your best to stay cozy. Hope the weather warms up at least a little for you very soon.
ReplyDeleteDebbie Z.
