Sunday Dinner, October 25, 2009 & Various Ramblings

It's already 12:30 am here in my part of the world as I type this, so I'm going to try to be brief with this post. However, I am aware that brevity is not one of my strong points, so we'll see how this unfolds.

Friday, October 23rd was my 46th birthday and Sunday, October 25th is my 24th wedding anniversary. Jessica treated us to lunch at Don Jose's Mexican restaurant on Thursday to honor our anniversary and this evening we went with friends to Ron's Catfish for supper.

After Lamar and I got home from eating catfish, Jessica picked us up and we rode around, chatted and listened to music for several hours, which was part of her anniversary gift to us and part of my birthday gift from her.

Cruising and listening to music is one of my favorite things on this earth to do, and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. Thanks, Jessica! I love you, Babe.

We just got home at midnight which is why I'm just now getting around to writing this post.

Lamar and I received several nice gifts for our anniversary and I've been blessed with some really nice cards and things for my birthday, but I'll get to that in a bit.

I'm not cooking Sunday Dinner this week because it's my anniversary and I'm going to take advantage of some cash that was given to us and go out to eat for lunch. I have no idea where we'll end up and at this moment I don't really care, as long as I don't have to cook it, someone else brings it to me, and I can walk off and leave the dirty dishes for someone else to deal with.

What's for Sunday Dinner at your place this week? Share your plans/menu in the comments if you'd like.My dear friend WANDA @ WANDER'S WORLD sent me a beautiful birthday card and I've received many, many birthday greetings and ecards on Facebook and by email. Thank you, dear Wanda and all who've taken time to send me birthday and anniversary greetings. I love you and appreciate each and every one of you, dear friends and family. :o)

I was pleasantly surprised when Jessica brought me something today from a dear blogging and Facebook buddy that we have in common. Our mutual friend sent Jessica a package and included some things in it for me.

Jessica will share about her gifts on her blog I'm sure, so I'll leave that for her to do.

Our friend included 5 (!) boxes of Trader*Joe's Earl Grey tea bags and 2 generous gift cards to Cracker*Barrel for me! I was thrilled and humbled by our friend's generous gifts.

I'm enjoying a cup of the Earl Grey tea right now, and it is mighty tasty and really hits the spot on this chilly Autumn night. It's really good and I like it every bit as well as my usual brand.

I won't have to buy any tea for a while, and next time I go to Cracker*Barrel I'll make use of those gift cards. :o)

I purposely haven't mentioned the name of my generous friend because I don't know if they want to be in the spotlight, so to speak, but they know who they are.

Thank you, dear friend, for the tea and the gift cards, but most of all, for your friendship and generous spirit. May God bless you for your generosity and the love you've shown to me and Jessica.So much for this being a brief post, huh? lol

But I really am going to wind this up now and wish everyone a wonderful Sunday and new week.

May God bless you with all you need and enough to share is my prayer for each and every one of you, dear family and friends.
