I'M BACK FROM MY BLOG BREAK

 Happy December!

It's good to be back and I have missed visiting you. It will take me a few days to catch up but I am looking forward to seeing what you've all been sharing.

As you may know by now, I have fun playing with my collage app and I have shared these ornaments before. I haven't bought any new ornaments this year, except for one advent calendar that holds small glass ornaments, so there are those. I should say I haven't bought any individual ornaments. Anyhow, it seemed with the first day of December, this would be a good time to share two of my favorite frames (put together last year but didn't get to publish them).

It is great to be back!

(I will be posting a recipe tomorrow instead of my usual Monday morning)

ART IN NATURE

I have often looked at various things I photograph and thought that nature has always shown us its own form of glorious art. Nature's brushstrokes are something to behold.

Thanks for looking everyone and I hope you are having a great start to the week.

(I used a collage app on my iPad for the above)

THE BAKERY AND MUSEUM COMPANY - BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - 3-18-25

More photos from the place we mention here on my Around and About post, if you missed it. The bakery's website is here where you can scroll to see what they have to offer. No photos of the dishes though. This is when we were celebrating Gregg's birthday on the 18th. We had a lovely time. 

Gregg had his eye on these leather sofas and as soon as they were vacated we moved over from a table we had been sitting. They were very comfortable.

A part of the wall behind us is covered from top to counter with plants. I didn't inspect it to see if they were real, but if not they looked it.

Our darlings on the other side.

Here they are ordering our sandwiches.

I chose this one. It was called The Jack of All Trades, an excellent breakfast sandwich.

This was son's order or it could have been our daughter-in-law's and am not sure what it was called. Gregg had the same as me. 

I will have to study the menu more the next time we go.

The pastries looked good also.

I put the Birthday Boy in the place of honor in center of the collage.

I have been playing with a collage app I downloaded on my iPad. I am not sure if photo collage is its proper name, but this is its symbol.

Gregg enjoyed his birthday and we all had an excellent time at the bakery.

I hope you have had a great week and I wish you all a very enjoyable weekend.
