After taking my mom to her doctor's appointment today, I have absolutely nothing planned. So, while I sit here with my English Breakfast tea and a pug at my feet, will look forward to the afters. Even got to thinking last night that I need to use my Brown Betty teapot more. So many times I'll have a great cup of tea and get flustered that there's not a second one to enjoy. My teapot sits in the china cabinet and looks forlorn. Time to change that. I think that with seeing so many elderly folks at the clinic yesterday, I got to thinking about how quickly time passes. Like most folks, I have dishes and pretties that stay put away except for holidays. Yeah, stuff regularly gets broken, but honestly, would rather use it once and get chipped or dropped than to never take it out at all. Really. We just don't practice that enough.So, will make minestrone for dinner, and read my book. Tidy up the house and vacuum the floors. But most of all, rest. It's sweet, but the little girls missed me so much yesterday, that they just wanted to keep an eye on me. The least one wanted to cuddle, and the middle one made me a cup of chamomile to relax me. They're good girls. And I love being home. :)
