I have the best friends!

My dear friend sent me a care package that arrived today.  What a sweetheart!

Among the momentos and cards, there were a couple of editions of one of my favourite foodie magazines that I would pick up whenever I had the chance.  A free magazine, spotlighting everything from restaurants to craft beers to kitchen tools – and, of course, recipes – it’s one of those magazines where I would make a point of reading the ads as much as the articles.

That is one thing I miss about living in the city for the past 14 years.  It had a very exciting food culture.  A lot of companies would even test out their new dining concepts there, so there were many unique new restaurants.  The craft beer niche was HUGE, too.

We couldn’t actually afford to go to many of them, especially by the time we left, but we could still access ingredients to try things out at home.  Things we will probably be able to find again in the city, when we have the opportunity to look.  Until then…

Gosh, I miss it!

Yeah, that’s about the only spring we’ve got right now! :-D

We also got some beautiful cards – including one for me to give to my husband! – for our 30th anniversary tomorrow.

With all the crazy stuff going on with our van, I’d forgotten about it!  So the extra card was extra appreciated.

After all the van repairs we had to do, it’s going to be a very quiet anniversary!

I just love that 3D laser cut card.  So beautiful!

Did I mention I have the best friends?

Awesome.  Thoughtful.  Funny.  Kind.  Generous friends.

Thank you so much, M! :-)
