Random for the weekend...

Random things here...

Looked out my kitchen window today and the view is starting to look like this...

This morning my first cup was a 1/4th of eggnog and 3/4th of coffee... Mmmm...

Speaking of coffee, recently I went to use the LAST $$ on my gift card to buy a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, but...

they didn't bring it back on the menu this year. I gasped! Inside I moaned "But I lurve that and was really looking forward to that." But instead, I said, "Okay.... what other holiday promotions do you have going on now?" and the Barista said, "Creme Brulee Latte!" I gasped again, "I lurve Creme Brulee, I'll try that!"

And then I waited...

and waited...

and waited...

...they forgot about my order in all the busy-ness of the crowd. That has never happened to me there before. A Barista looked at me and I quizingly looked back at her and she said, "Are you still waiting for your drink?" I said, "Yep!"

Then she gasped! She went to the crew shift manager and said something to him and he looked at me... I smiled back... he left... he came back a few minutes later with my Creme Brulee Latte and then.... this is really the climax of my post... he said, "On behalf of all of us, I am so sorry about the delay of your beverage and because you didn't even complain and were so nice about our mistake, here are SEVERAL free coupons for drinks of your choice on future visits."

It was delicious and it was LOADED with extra candy bits of the burnt sugar! I'm SURE the loaded part was a bonus just for me!

My lovely Mother-in-Law asked us to make our Christmas wish list and here is what I put on it... a silver book for my charm bracelet.

Tomorrow evening we are going to church to be part of a 400 person Thanksgiving dinner. We are bringing a huge tub of Sweet Potatoes! I'm not one for having 400 people for dinner but I made the exception because...

... after dinner my Girl is getting baptized! My hankies and camera are ready.

Today I'll be making my list for Thanksgiving. I'm hosting this year while my sister and I do the cooking.

My To-Do list has many things...

~ Shopping. Most of it is already done. First food item is tradition! And it has to have those can mold rings on it. ha ha

~ Prayer - I have so much to be thankful for

~ Start defrosting the turkey TODAY

~ Because of a furlough day, I have the day off before Thanksgiving so I'll be setting my tables and getting all the dishes out labeled with what will go in it AND I also put the serving utensil in it so I'm not scrambling to find it at the last minute

~ Visiting! Today we'll be doing a Community Outreach project with my small group at church. We are delivering pillows, afghans & blankets, baby stuff, etc. to a women's transitional housing facility, THEN after that we're going to visit Victoria and Michael who were blessed with buying their first home recently and are hosting a Open House. I ALWAYS bring my signature giftie...

A basket filled with~

Bread, that this house may never know hunger

Salt - that life may always have flavor

Wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever

and I include this same verse on a card with the picture from It's a Wonderful Life.

What random things are you doing?
