#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

At my birthday lunch with my friend last Tuesday she gave me these lovely vintage tea cups and saucers. Today I arranged fresh flowers for two gatherings being hosted here tomorrow, and I enjoyed filling these with purple and yellow buds for the table. Amazingly, no walk today. Not because it was raining, it was pouring, but because I had so many errands I wanted to get done early before the crowd in the supermarket and my hips also wanted a day of rest. Still managed to get five miles onto my Apple Watch just being busy in the day. Supermarket for food for tomorrow, actually, two supermarkets. Flower arranging, clutter cleaning, table setting, cookie making. . . my daughter is hosting a group of friends and their kids for breakfast, and I am hosting family for a memorial service we are doing for my Aunt Dot. It’s a special service just with my brothers and sister and kids. Wave home today and this afternoon he got restless and grumpy and I loved watching my daughter help him shift his mood in just the right way. A foot bath brewed with tea. And I heated the shoulder pad. She set him up in the living room with a pot of herbal tea and a little cup and he was very quickly in a happy mood for the rest of the night. The magic of TLC. I did get some writing done today. Draft of a new poem. I will wake early with much to do but my walk will happen first.
