Hello Friends!
It’s Tuesday again! Thanks so much for stopping by. How’s your week been? I’ve had a lovely week myself. I’m now using a cane and moving around quite well. I even attended a Christmas party one evening. It was fun to get dressed up.
Then one day, I did some shopping at Costco with sweet man. However, I went to Physical Therapy right afterward. I did well but then I came home and spent the rest of the day in my recliner! I was pooped!
I can truly say I am making progress. I have made a few home-cooked meals and I will be starting my baking of Christmas cookies in a day or two.
Coffee Time
Are you decorated for Christmas? One morning, I went to my neighbor’s house for coffee. We had a wonderful time chatting about everything and anything. We felt festive as her Christmas decorations surrounded us. Walking into my friend’s home at Christmastime feels a little like stepping into a warm, well-loved memory. Much of her decor has a story.
I took pictures of her beautiful kitchen vignettes. She always has a knack for displaying her collections. Everything gives you that cozy magic you can’t buy in a store.
Her beautifully decorated kitchen table is always a delight.
Next to her kitchen table is this lovely tree filled with many memorable ornaments.
As I said goodbye and thanked my friend for coffee time, I saw these cute arrangements.
❤️🎄❤️
It was so nice to enjoy all her hard work, especially since I did not decorate much this year due to my hip surgery.
Thank You
I loved sharing a little glimpse of my friend’s beautiful Christmas home with you.
May your December days be filled with comfort, joy, and lots of Christmas magic.
Wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. May these December days bring moments of joy and fun surprises. Whatever you have planned, make each day count and take time to be grateful for the blessings this season brings.

I’m so glad to hear you are up and about, seeing people and walking better. Well done with Costco — that’s enough to wipe out anyone, even on a good day! (And you have to be careful for flying shopping carts on top of just the size of it all!) Your friend has such wonderful and cheery Christmas style. I especially love all the shiny brites and that kitchen display! Merry Week!
Thank you Jeanie. I am proud of myself. I pray it continues. And yes, my friend has a beautiful Christmas home. Thank you for the visit and such sweet comments. I hope you continue to heal as well.
Merry Tuesday!
Nancy, so glad to hear your recovery is going well and you are able to get out and have some fun. Your friend’s house is so festive and fun. I love the snowmen. Your deserved a rest after Costco and then physical therapy!
What was I thinking? It was a busy day for me!
Thanks for enjoying my friend’s Christmas decor and my well wishes. Merry Tuesday my friend!
Love Christmas time! Happy to hear that your recovery is progressing!
I am coming along! Thanks for checking in! Merry Tuesday!
What a wonderful coffee time you must have had Nancy…I love to visit a friend’s home that has been decorated for the Holidays. Inspiration as well as a delight. I am so glad you are getting around so well after your surgery. Gone are the days when doctors would keep us in a hospital bed for a week after childbirth for example…or two weeks for any surgeries. I believe it helps us to recuperate much faster…of course it should all be within reason. One should not “over-do”…but I am sure you are well aware of that. Your recliner looks as if it is placed in a cozy spot so near your fireplace. Take the time to enjoy the Season…for years I hustled and bustled through without taking the time to absorb all the sights and sounds of Christmas….but not anymore. Merry Christmas my friend.🎄❤️🥁✝️🌲⌛️🎁🗳️🔔
Overdo?! I may have by going to Costco! Lol!
And I agree, it is best to slow down and enjoy the Christmas festivities that surround us!
Merry Tuesday, Kari!
Good morning, Nancy! I’m so happy to hear that you are recovering so well. Your family room decorated for Christmas is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your friend’s house decorated for Christmas with us. It is beautiful, and she has lots of pretties. Sweet friend, enjoy the rest of your week!
Thank you, Shannon! It was a lovely time for coffee, surrounded by all her Christmas magic.
Thanks for checking in with me. Merry Tuesday!
It all looks so beautiful!
We’re putting up the tree today. Right now it is standing on the side stoop trying to get in and every time I walk by the door I’m startled to see the green!
Oh how wonderful! I bet its fragrance is amazing! Enjoy the Christmas magic my friend!
You too! It will be healing.
Lovely! And it’s so good to hear that you’re healing well, but being smart to not over-do it! Have a terrific week.
Thank you, my friend! I tend to overdo it at times because I can’t sit still. Lol!
Merry Tuesday!
I am so very happy to hear that you are doing better! Getting around again must be lovely! Your friends house is very beautiful.
Thank you Maria! It’s nice to be able to move again.
Thanks so much for checking in. Merry Tuesday!
Merry Tuesday, Nancy! I am so happy you are doing well. But do be careful. Your friend’s home is cozy and inviting. Spending time in a festive home with a friend and a cup of coffee is a wonderful way to spend a morning. I love all the Shiny Brites and her lovely vignettes and displays.
Remember to take plenty of rest in your recliner!
Wishing a Merry Week my friend! ❤️🎄🎅🏻🎁☕️🎶❤️
Thank you Pam! I am resting all day today. Watching movies and enjoying the fire.

So glad to hear you are doing well. You and your neighbor get an A++ for holiday decoration. Impressive.
Thank you Judy for your kindness and for checking in on me.

Nancy, I too appreciate Christmas decorations with stories from past celebrations! If only the ornaments could tell their stories! Wishing you well and remember today’s hurdle is tomorrow’s victory!
Oh! I! Like! That!
“Today’s hurdle is tomorrow’s Victory!” I am going to remember that!
Thanks for checking in Mary. So good to hear from you.
Merry Tuesday!
You always have such beautiful decorations. You have great taste.
Thank you Tim. I can’t take credit for a lot of the decor today. My friend has done a remarkable job.

How wonderful to spend the day at your friend’s lovely home, Nancy. I’m so glad you are up and around, but being kind to yourself. Love the view of your decor and lounge chair!
I decorated for Christmas and just finished! I’m exhausted. My new tree is huge! I’ll share a few scenes for my upcoming Sunday Stills post. Enjoy your downtime and relish the holidays, my friend!
Thank you Terri! I look forward to seeing your tree! Merry! Merry!
How kind of your friend to let you share her lovely Christmas decorations with us. I’m so happy your are progressing well. Don’t wear yourself out with the cookies. That would be a lot of time on your feet!
I batch every other day. How does that sound?

Nancy, your friend’s home is so well decorated! Thanks for sharing. I love all the plates!
Thank you Rita. I will let her know.
Merry December my friend.
It sounds like you’re progressing well, Nancy. Just pushing the cart around in Costco wears me out! It was fun taking a peek into your neighbor’s beautifully decorated home. Thank you and her for sharing. 💚🌲❤️
Thank you so much Kitty. I am always happy to visit her and see her beautiful home.
Thank you also for the well wishes.
Merry December!
So glad to hear you’re doing well, Nancy Lou! I bet you’re in full bakery mode with cookies and more at this point. Sending loads of love and holiday hugs. I need to get my ‘rear in gear’ today to make cookies, too. Cue the Christmas music… it always helps. Just like your beautiful posts! Xo! ❤️🎄❤️
Vickie Lou you made my day! I am so glad you found some Christmas cheer here.
Merry December!

How nice to hear you are out and about, I bet you were tired when you got home. Your friend’s home is decorated nice for Christmas.

My friend has a beautiful home and loves to entertain. She will be happy you enjoyed the tour.
Merry December, Diane!
