Welcome to today’s blog! What a day!
Oh, NO! Not AGAIN!!
Last night, watching the 1984 classic, A Christmas Carol, starring George C. Scott, around 9:30-bang! Out goes the power AGAIN!! It was just raining-not really blowing; no ice; no snow. We just looked at each other and I exclaimed, ‘ are you kidding me?!’ I reported it to the utility via text message, but there was no ETA even up to when the power came back on this morning around 11:30! At least it got restored. I’m hoping we miss out on round three as I have work tomorrow
Now! Back to the shiny!😁
I received a package from my Secret Santa 🎅 that has been patiently waiting under my tree. I opened it today.
My Santa friend left no clues as to their identity. Inside was this box.
I then opened it to find…..
In my household, one can never have too many coffee cups! ☕️☕️☕️😁
Inside the cup was another favorite of mine, along with a sweet Austrian Philharmonic!
The obverse shows the Great Organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna’s concert hall. It’s marked 1.5 Euros as well as the year 2015. Just above that is one ounce fine silver and along the top republic of Austria.
The reverse shows an array of instruments including the viola, cello, harp, bassoon and the Vienna horn.
I will keep it in the air tight Santa sent it in.
This was a nice end to a day that had been somewhat stressful. We ended going to the grocery after hitting the post office. No mail has been delivered since before the ice storm to either the houses or the PO Box! I have a couple MIS Amazon orders. I also hear that our mail route no longer has a carrier as she was injured. I hope she heals quickly from whatever the injury was. I’m guessing ice injuries as it truly was crazy
Anyway, tomorrow is back to work and I’m sure it’ll be nutty 🤪
Happy christmas to you
