A Special Visitor From Pittsburgh

Posted by: Darlene on: December 24, 2012

We are happy to have a special guest from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania spending Christmas with us.  Flat Ruthie arrived a few days ago and has settled into our home on the west coast of Canada very well.

Today she attended a Christmas tea party and book exchange with me.  The tea party was wonderful with many home-made goodies made by my friend Kimberley and a variety of teas to choose from. I had lemon meringue Rooibos tea and munched on chocolate ginger cookies, lemon loaf and cranberry almond scones.  All sooo good. Flat Ruthie didn’t have anything to eat as she is watching her weight this Christmas.  I brought 5 books for the exchange and promised myself I would only bring 1 back home with me. But everyone brought such good books, I couldn’t resist and left with 4  I hadn’t read yet.

While I’ve been at work. Ruthie has been catching up on her reading.  She has read all three Amanda books and loved them. She can’t wait for the fourth one to be published. I think she is hoping to be featured in one of them some day.

We love having her here as she is no trouble at all and it would have been a lonely Christmas otherwise.
