For those of you following along - sorry that I've been a bit incognito this past week. I was actually have a good week (fibro - wise) and was doing a lot of things around here that needed doing along with walking every day.
It didn't leave me much time for blogging myself, but I was sneaking around making some visits here and there. Today is the 25th of the month and that means Rudolph Day here at The Old Parsonage. Sorry that I forgot to give a gentle reminder earlier in the week for those of you wanting one.
We've had such a great weekend. Yesterday after the market I made a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. We gave half to Little Bride to Be's family - they needed a little pick me up. MaryJoe's been in the hospital under going some tests this week and Dennis has been ill as well. Please keep them in your prayers.
While the cookies were cooling, Mr OP and I took a quick trip to Zionsville for a little junquing. I got this sweet little pincushion for $4. I've been on the lookout for one like this, but they've been about $20 and I would never pay that much. This was right in my price range.
I also bought the little ironstone platter. It was 30% off and just hopped into my hands:) Today turned out to be a beautiful day (it was supposed to rain all day), so I did a little yard work - cleaning out flower beds and planting my rosemary bush outside in a pot for the season. Even though I washed my hands a few times, I can still smell it - mmm. I've saved my Rudolph Day to do list for tonight - after Mr OP goes to bed. I'm going to watch Little Women (with Winona Ryder) and look at my cookie recipes. Making the chocolate chips yesterday had me thinking about a few new ones.
I'm also thinking about Easter too. It's just 13 days away and I've got to get my list ready of candy to make and what we'll have for dinner. We won't stray too far from tradition, but I always like to add at least one new thing to the menu.
So, is anyone out there making there Easter plans?

A post! Thank you Dear One. :-) I know, I am silly. But I get to worrying. When someone doesn't post, in a while.
So happy that you've simply been busy. But feeling quite *chipper.* Mmmmmmm, does anyone say *feeling chipper* any more? ,-)
Gentle hugs...
Yes, I am making Easter plans, though I'm not too good about Christmas ones. I would not have known that the vintage crocheted piece was a pin cushion. I've seen some now that I think of it. Learn something new every day in Blogdom. Hope that your son's future in-laws are feeling better with each passing day.
That pin cushion is so sweet, and so is your post. Hoping this coming week is filled with more keeping busy because you feel so good.
No treasure hunting for me this weekend - worked outside, etc. Hope the bride's parents feel better soon.
No Easter menu yet - waiting to see who will be here.
Sounds like you had a nice week-end. Pin cushion is cute. I remember grandma having ones like that.
I am having Easter and still not sure of the menu!
Have a good week!
Hello!
I finally remembered Rudolph Day and did a post on my Blog.
Hope you are feeling better.
I have been dealing t=with a lot of health issues myself...
Hugs,

Hi Leann,
So glad you are feeling pretty good, and had such a nice weekend! Ahhh, chocolate chip cookies! Ummmm! I like your pincushion. I had bought one like that at a yard sale. It was pretty grungy, but I knew she would clean up nicely. It was only a few dollars. I soaked it in Oxy clean, and it came out great! I had planned to sell it, then I decided to keep it. lol Hope you have a good week too!
Hugs,
Debbie
Yikes! Easter is that close??! I don't think anyone around here is getting a new Easter dress... Oh well.
Hi Leann...
Pretty pin cushion! Nice job!
Easter is right around the corner. Think I'll do a spiral ham plus a small roast beef for the beef eaters. Haven't thought about the rest of it yet because I know it's a lot of work. But fun, too. Like you, I love having family over. Susan
Simply lovely! I have to get the Easter things out! And thanks for the Rudolf reminder. I think the journals I made in my recent post will get made again and again for Christmas -- but I'd better get started (I've yet to finish those!)
I'm a fairly new follower so I didn't get the reference to Rudolph day. Lovely platter and love your pretty cushion.
