Morning and welcome to another sunny Tuesday morning ...... not!, the thunder woke us several times during the night - ah well, never one to let having to stay in put me off so I've been crafting, wouldn't you know it?
Yesterday hubby and I spent some quality time out on the pool deck, reading and soaking up the rays before heading out to IKEA to look for some storage. We decided to stop for dinner on the way home but, when the time came, we discovered we weren't all that hungry so it was a seat at the bar in our local Chilis and a bowl of soup for him and chilli for me - yummmm!
Lucky we were home when Sally rang to see if it would be OK for her and her grand daughter to come round with a lap top that's causing a bit of trouble!!!

Our neighbours grand daughter made us a whole batch of frosted chocolate cupcakes, bless, the one each that we've eaten (so far) was delicious and it seemed only fair to express our appreciation in a thank you card. It's also going to be my second entry for the CAS sketch challenge over on Simply Less Is More - just hope they think there is enough white space.
