Lingering Lugano influence

Today was our first “town day” together since getting back from Europe.

We usually find time to get coffee amidst our various errands. But this morning was different. We weren’t okay with getting our coffee in a paper cup with a plastic lid. It just didn’t feel right.

So, we went to Flour Garden, where we could request our drinks in ceramic cups. Infinitely more civilized!

I don’t know if this is a permanent change, but we’ll flow with it for as long as it lasts.

Tiny snow person

The snow stopped long enough for us to drive into town to pick up a prescription and buy groceries. There were long lines in both places, with everyone stocking up before the next storm hits.

Our last stop was the bank, where this happy snow person was waiting to greet us as we parked the car. What a delightful way to finish up our errands!

A relaxed day in town

It started out with a lovely early lunch with my dad and my sister.

Got my boots refurbished in time for next week’s rain.

Did some early Christmas shopping for family in Switzerland.

Paid a visit to Les Schwab to check my tires.

Spent time browsing Weiss Brothers nursery and bought both indoor and outdoor plants (after all, I have to indulge my green thumb a bit to make up for two months away!).

After a break for a decaf latte and a snack, I ended the day by picking up a prescription and doing a bit of grocery shopping.

Believe it or not, it was a deeply relaxing day of going with the flow and enjoying every location, every person, every moment.

But I think I’ll sleep very well tonight.
