T sTands for This and ThaT again

Hi Everybody!

I hope that you all enjoyed your Christmas and weekend, even though we are all in a very different situation this year, where staying safe and healthy has to be our priority.

This evening Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party will begin, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here. Today I am showing some pages made a couple of years back where there's lots of eating and drinking going on:





And I've got Cola and coffee on offer today:



Some photos taken on a winter walk through our little town:






I thought this was an owl till I got nearer:















Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    I remember these pages, and it is fantastic to see them again Valerie. They are great for T day. The last one of 2020. Wow! It is so nice to be able to walk. I finally got out today myself as we had rain so now walking is easier again. I hope you have a lovely start to your week and T day too. Hugs-Erika

    I would have thought it an owl also. We need to get an eyesight test! Hugs, Deb

    The Canada Geese are out on the water, Valerie, so all is well. Perhaps their T day is that they are Terribly happy to be there. They are probably upending and Tugging at Tubers. When they come out of the water they might Trot over to meet you. I got a chuckle out out of the festive events going on in the woods, especially where the beats tell each other not to feed the tourists! I can see how you initially thought that you spotted an owl; Miriam and I actually did see one yesterday, a gorgeous Barred Owl roosting in a tree, waiting for the darkness to come, to sally forth to dine on rodent du jour. We actually ran into one of Miriam's sisters and were able to show it to her. It may have been her first owl ever, I am not sure. The New Year is almost upon us. Better times for everyone are on the way. This evening we are going to Face Time with our friends in Melbourne, Australia. Technology is amazing! This is all for today Miss Funky Feet. Until tomorrow, hugs, more hugs, and kisses from David

      Thanks David, I made sure the geese lined up, especially for you! They did trot over to meet me because I had salad in my bag! Not feeding the tourists is always a good idea!Glad you saw a real owl, I hear one each evening at the clinic, haven't seen it yet! Good that you could show it to Miriam's sister. Owls are so special. I watched a good programme last night on TV about Eagles, it was fascinating. Let's hope next year will be better, and bring us more freedom! Enjoy your facetime time, technology is indeed amazing. Have a great day, take care, lots of BIG hugs, to you both!

    Sweet pages. I love all the Teddy Bear picnics. The "owl" made me smile and it took a minute for me to get it. I guess I need a second cuppa this morning. I always enjoy walks around your little town. The architecture is so interesting and everything looks so peaceful. Take care and stay safe.

    I SO enjoyed your incredible teddy bear picnics. Wonderful and fun photos and I remember them, too.They are still great for T, too.

    I actually laughed at the "faux owl," and it takes a LOT for me to laugh right now, Thanks ever so much for sharing your coffee and your beautiful town with us for T this Tuesday, dear Valerie.

    But these teddy bears are fun. The cap resembles an owl, probably waiting for its owner :)

    I love the 1st Teddy bear picnic one, Valerie. Very funny. They're all adorable. When I taught "ballet" to 3 and 4-year olds, we did a dance to that song. At the end, the girls would all go down in a crouch with their heads on the floor as if they were resting after all the food. One little girl fell asleep and had to be carried off stage. It was very funny and the audience loved it.

    Your photos are always wonderful and I enjoy viewing them as an armchair tourist.

    I'm hope you're improving day-by-day and will soon be back home.

    Happy T-day and a Happy Improved) New Year! Hugs, Eileen
