SAVORING the QUIET...TOGETHER...TIME...

I Savor the Quiet Together Time…

Yes, it’s true…since Christmas…I have sadly neglected blogland. Why? Not because I haven't been thinking good thoughts of you…but because I have spent much of these past weeks down at my father’s house…relaxing…treasure hunting…reading…eating…and just savoring the quiet, together time.

We get up late and drink cups and cups of cocoa, tea and coffee...
and stay dressed in our most comfortable clothes... and bathrobes...for far too long.

(Ahhh…but Papa’s Kitty Patrol never rests.)

See the cup on the table above? Rosie and I went treasure hunting at a thrift shop on New-Year’s-Eve-day while we were in San Diego and found it for a mere 99cents...in perfect condition. We hunted for mates but, sadly, it was a One-And-Lonely.

My Dad likes drinking from well made, thin china cups...preferably English. That being said…he does seem to break them after only a few months. After seeing some lovely cups lose their handles…one after the other…I decided to add... “ENGLISH TEA CUPS FOR PAPA” ...as a permanent item... onto my tag sale/thrift shopping “I Want” list (please see “Frugal Luxuries” for more on this subject…or... stay tuned and I will excerpt that portion in an upcoming post ☺)

Jan Karon is one of my favorite authors.

We also found a hard bound, Jan Karon book (I had not read this one) for two dollars…in perfect condition...with dust jacket...which I am currently reading.
Oh...my dad is really enjoying the new cup and (after I washed it with my usual bleach and water concoction) he used it the very next morning…and every morning hence. (Is that the right word?? “Hence”?).
