Back on Track

I'm back after a delightful visit with family and friends! I certainty kept my little mom busy between visits with new great niece, visiting Patty and Dave, shopping and eating out. It was so filled with joy and blessings.

My friends are amazing and dealing with grace what has become their world right now. They are learning about the medical world and doing all that is required and necessary to find out exactly  what Dave's diagnosis is. At the moment it is B-cell Lymphoma, which is better news then the pancreatic cancer that was first thought. Please keep them in your prayers.


I met my niece's new baby girl, Janie, she is so sweet and beautiful. Here's a peek at cuteness!

My mom and I had a lovely lunch at a place called Terrain. This restaurant was so unique. It's a nursery and garden center in the spring, summer and fall and a lovely restaurant and gift shop in the winter months. We both had a delicious lunch. I started off with a mulled cider served with a mini biscotti. Water was served in mason ball jars and lemon. Just so garden and green house themed. Yes, the tables were in the greenhouse with all the plants and details. Things were hanging and climbing and decorating the walls and ceiling. Want to see?

Our lunch came with delightful bread baked in a flower pot served with maple honey butter with a sprinkle of pistachio sea salt. The salt was to die for with the sweetness of the butter. I was in heaven. Then we both ordered falafel cakes with onion, cucumber, greens, cucumber/ dill spread and pita bread, it was so good. The falafel was a little too spicy for mom, so she turned hers in for a mushroom tart that was eaten before I could get a photo. So happy, that was a hit.
We opted out of dessert and did a little shopping in the gift shop. It was a lovely experience and so nice to have been shared with my mom. Love those memorable moments to be cherished.

Can you see the uniqueness of this place and why I'm sharing this perfect day?! I have been looking into baking bread in the oven with flower pots and it is very doable. You do have to treat the clay pots with oil and baking in the oven to season the clay. But it is something I will do and then I can see a lot of flower pot breads!

Everyone has been into the sky lately and I am also one to admirer the sky. I took a photo in my mom's back yard where the sky looked so threatening and then to the left it was beautiful. Here take a look.

So as you can see it was a nice visit. I visited friends, family and neighbors and it was so satisfying to fit so much into one visit. BUT most of all it was great to show my mom a good time because she really does not go out much.

I knit in the evening while watching TV and will have a ta-dah soon. What I'm knitting is a first for me, can't wait to show you.




Thanks so much for visiting. I have to get caught up on all your lovely blogs. Look at my first purchased flowers in 2012! I just love tulips this time of year. They make me smile and we all need that on these wintery days. It's really cold here, -2 degrees F this morning and a high of 22 F. Bbrrrrrrrrrr

Be back soon. Thanks again for your lovely comments and following my rambling stories and tales.
