Christmas Lights, a Lovely Evening, and Excessive Packing Material


 Wednesday was a remarkably warm day for these parts, and I took the opportunity to drive around at dusk checking out the lights. This was the scene at the Cohasset Common. When it eventually turns colder, this small pond will be filled with skaters.


I drove to a few of my favorite spots, but alas, there wasn’t much to photograph. 

Last night my quilting buddies and I went out for a holiday dinner. We were trying to remember just how long we have been friends. We all originally went weekly to the Quilters Compass quilt shop in Quincy. Sadly, the quilt store eventually closed, but we didn’t see any reason to stop meeting. We take turns hosting. In the beginning, we met weekly, but now it is usually every two to three weeks depending on our schedules. So how long has this been going on? I knew I had joined the weekly gathering at the store after making my first quilt. When I returned home last night, I checked the quilt’s label, and it was 2004!!! 


Excessive Packing Material . . . get a look at this large box stuffed with paper and yards and yards of bubble wrap. What pray tell was inside? Well, Joann’s had recently had an online sale, and inside the box were three Christmas mugs and one gingerbread themed nutcracker. I swear; each mug was individually wrapped in at least two yards of bubble wrap. There was no danger of any breakage of items in this box.  In case you are curious, here is the nutcracker along with one of the mugs. 



Enjoy the season . . . no stress allowed. 🧑🏻‍🎄
