The spirit, her day and delivery

- These huge Christmas ornaments on the fountain of a plaza at an office building in midtown Manhattan, taken two weeks ago today. I like holiday decorations and NYC was full of the spirit.

- A little girl getting off the school bus excitedly telling her mom something about her day after getting a hug.

- The aroma of coffee beans in big barrels at Fresh Market, just as pleasant as drinking it would be. (I think.) :) But my mission this day is to buy holiday treats for clients. I choose my favorite - white chocolate covered pretzels with red and green sprinkles. I knew I would catch a late-working Angie on my way home, and so I did. Her weary eyes brightened at the colorful gift bag. We chat for a few minutes before her phone rings again and I make my way home.

I am celebrating that it is Friday today. Yay! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

Bright red Christmas balls
Along a fountain wall
This picture was just
Taken two weeks ago
In NYC for it was all aglow

A Little girl
in a fit of swirls
Excited all the way
Now I wonder what
She had to say

As coffee beans
In barrels sings
To my senses today
And that memory
Won’t go away

Pretzels dipped in white chocolate
I know no rhyme you will see
But Angie’s eyes did glow
From the gift I bestowed
And that was enough for me

I love the over-sized ornaments! Red is always so cherry in this duller days...

You are a natural-born cheer-spreader, Lynn! :)

Have a lovely weekend!

I wonder what they made those out of... Seems to be fountain ornaments. My little ones are excited about school still too- having not been worn down by it yet- Choclate covered pretzels are always something I miss not being able to chew well...
Have a splendid pre-holiday week-end!
