This is where I shall begin my temporary/yet typical digression:
Y'all may remember that last weekend we were to
have Princess Little Leighton (LL) as an honored guest at our country casa. Unfortunately,
TLC had to take her to the pediatrician last Thursday morn. LL was running
fever (102.2—high for Our Biscuit!). She’d been congested/constantly drippy for several days.
TLC wanted to make sure she was okay to come for a visit with me and Pa-Pa (aka
My Sweet Husband/aka MSH). LL’s doctor diagnosed her with a “BAD!” ear
infection in her right ear. And the flu!!! Even though all of us, including LL, had had our flu
shots by last October, flu has been rampant in the U. S. of A. We’ve been told by
many television doctors—real ones!—via our media, that having the shot might
keep us from getting a bad case of the flu. It would NOT guarantee we wouldn’t
come down with it. Many, many children (and adults) have had serious cases of
it in the past three months. Unfortunately, the vaccine peeps weren’t prepared
for the way this year’s flu was going to mutate.
TLC and I are skeptical
LL really had the flu. However, it became necessary for me to go east to
their casa—in order to take care of her while TLC and Her Hubby celebrated their
birthdays. Friday night was a planned (fancy) dinner out. Saturday was dinner
out in a charming part of Dallas and a Mavericks’ game with friends.
I arrived Friday morn by 10:30 and left Sunday morn at the same time-ish. LL and
Grammy had a lovely-as-always quality visit together while her Mom and Dad did their
par-tay-in’.
As I was about to leave
Sunday morn, TLC called me into her (MY...Wink. Wink.) guest room to give me two gifts. Both
were to be my Valentine's Day “treats” from her and LL. But the BEAUTIFUL spoon
became my “Thank You!” treat for babysitting Princess LL at her casa—instead of
our country casa.
Back to TLC’s Amazing Finds:
In the past, TLC has given
me some truly special gifts. I’ve received “engraved” spoons for my
flower/cactus pots. This new spoon is for my “tea drinkin’” (Don't forget my ROYAL lineage!) and says:
a little bit of TEA &
a whole lotta JESUS
Oh. My. Lord. Do I adore
this spoon? Do birds fly? Do fish swim? Do I believe in Jesus???
Found randomly (but luckily!) via an Instagram account TLC follows, she discovered that this company--jessicaNdesigns
(click on the link to shop until you drop!) (also: @jessicandesigns on IG and Twitter)--seems to have lots of
other interesting/special items. Have no doubt, Dear Friends: My "tea" spoon will
be treasured forever. And a day.
Merci beaucoup, TLC, for (once again) giving me something so unexpected but tres SPECTACULAR. Girl—YOU ROCK!
ta-ta for now...
p.s.—LL will be coming this weekend for our
re-scheduled visit...Hip Hip Hooray!!!
