soap

I know I wrote about soap once before but once again I am on the topic of soap. I do love all kinds of soars from bar to liquid. I bought some lovely liquid SoftSoap today with a beautiful scent in a mauve container  and a bar of strawberry scented soap. My stock is getting full again. I never run out of soap,good thing you say :))
Really I should talk about the weather though. We had snow last night and woke up to a winter wonderland. It seems early for this much snow but Mother Nature pays no attention to us.
This is the tree outside my living room window, the one that houses all the little critters but there were none there this morning.
These are outside my bedroom window, different type of tree as you can see.
It is expected to be cold tonight , thank goodness for a warm home and a cozy bed. I am grateful. It is going to be snow again tonight I think and colder tomorrow.
A poem I wrote in the 80s....
Outside my window winter came,
I wiped the mist from the windowpane,
And saw the world had become so bright
By the gently falling flakes of white.
I heard the crunching, crackling sound
Of someone's boots as they touched the ground.
It was the only sound that night
As the muffled,silent world turned white.
These are the first two verses but they reflected my thoughts as I observed the snow this morning.
We did grocery shopping this morning and went to the casino in the afternoon, it has been awhile but things are not really any better there. I was pretty lucky but Ray was not.  So we won't be going  any time soon again. However I had a good time, it doesn't take much to amuse me. LOL.  On the way home we stopped at the bakery and then dropped into a small pizza restaurant for a large slice of pizza and it was surprisingly good. We will go there again.
Rick just called , he is home from Calgary for the weekend. It is extremely cold in Calgary so this seems to be delightful for him. He wanted to know what our plans for Christmas are. We are having Jim and Sam for dinner so that made it easier for Rick and Carla as they are working many days during the holiday season. It is kind of him to concern himself about us, but then they always do that for all holiday occasions.  He and Carla will come on the 27th for lunch and we can give them turkey LOL.
That's my thoughts for tonight folks. Stay warm and cozy near your fireplace.
Bon Soir.
