My dear friend Julia, our very own from Retirement RV Dream https://retirementrvdream.com/, is always so sweet and thoughtful. She sent me this delicious box, or in this case, boxes, of delicious Ethiopian delights, from spices, to lentils to a fabulous cookbook. I can’t wait to play around with my new “toys”. π Yes, I admit, I get very excited about new cookbooks and new cooking ideas and recipes. I am like a little kid with his or her new toys that I can’t wait to play with. And like a little kid, I can never wait to open presents. And I didn’t wait this time either. π




Thank you Julia, not just for these fabulously fun gifts, but mostly for your friendship. π I am very lucky indeed to have such a great, beautiful, thoughtful and generous friend. I will definitely be putting these delicious items to use very soon, and WE will definitely make something delicious next time we are together again. Love you lots. π
I think we are like little kids at this time of year. Christmas is for kids; kids of all ages. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Stay safe and stay well, and NEVER lose sight of the little kid inside each and every one of us. ‘Til next time.
π€You are welcome! Thank you so much for the mention! You are such a wonderful and lovely person. While we are a long ways apart physically (1,260 miles), I love that we keep in touch through our blogs and texting.

I wish we had one near us. The closest Ethiopian restaurant is 121 miles away.

It would. If we had another reason to go to Birmingham,AL, then we could eat at the restaurant. I also see Nashville, Tennessee has some Ethiopian restaurants. We could go for a day to Nashville and try one out. There is lots of fun things to do in both cities.
