Made it to another year!

Yesterday I made it to 76years of age and had a lovely day.
My request for the day was KFC for lunch and a game of Ticket to ride.. Chris is not keen on board games but I love playing them and miss not being able to play with my family and grandchildren.
I was overwhelmed with the number of cards I received through the post, gifts, messages on Facebook and by email, thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Amongst the more unusual gifts was a salt and pepper set shaped like a caravan, look forward to using them when we get back in the caravan.  I also received a kit to make a bag to hold sanitiser and a mask, who would have thought that would be a nice gift 12 months ago!

KFC was delivered to the door for lunch and afterwards Chris played TWO games of Ticket to Ride. I just love the game and each one is so different.
We played the Europe version first and it is fun finding the city’s and towns we know so well.

This ended for the first time ever in a draw, we both had the same number of points.

Next we played The Old West, a version I don’t remember playing before, as it is double sided we usually play the other side [France]
This is an add on game to the Europe game, there are many different versions. 
It is amazing how different each board is.

I also spent part of the day sewing my Red houses quilt.
16 houses all with different blocks within them.

A great day with phone calls from the granddaughters and Richard, plus the cake Betty made is one of my favourites, lemon drizzle, and will not last long!

Today is back to normality, Chris is spending the day in his shed organising Welfare check visits with the 4 x 4 Rescue service. Anyone on the vulnerable list was phoned by the Council in the week and those that did not answer get a visit to make sure they are OK. I think Chris said there were 200 house checks to be made by the volunteers.

I decided it was time for Christmas facemasks. Found a new design that is suppose to be better if you wear glasses.
I’ve made three so far.
Third one is for Chris.

Not seen that design for that Face mask, I wear glasses with Bi Focals & find they steam up & if the mask is not in the right place can not see the writing on items in the Shop. Made some for Christmas so will not make any more have plenty now.
