T Stands For Another Outing From the Archives

Before we reach into the archives, I first want to wish all my Canadian friends  a rather late, but still heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving.  I also have a gift I received that I want to share with you.

I hope you can see it's from Nicole at DVArtist, a recent T Tuesday participant.  I received this last Friday, and it's been in quarantine until now.

 

When I opened the gift, I was blown away.  Look at the beautiful cabochons and bead backing felts she sent me.  She also sent a lovely note and instructions concerning the cabochons, too.

 

Now I wish I'd taken these beauties out of their plastic wrappers, because my photo doesn't do justice to them. Thank you beyond belief Nicole.  I am extremely grateful.  Your gift is so thoughtful.

One nice thing about this visit to the archives is I more than likely didn't show my foodie friend and I going to a certain restaurant because we had either been there recently, or had visited other Mexican restaurants around that time.  We often get on a "kick" and visit several restaurants that are similar, like Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc. before we are burned out on that type of food.  Not so, now.  No one wants to sit inside a restaurant in the states (at least those of us who are sensible) and eat without a mask on.

Cholita's is one of those restaurants I have ranted about.  They claim to have the best Mexican food restaurant in town, but I believe their food is only marginally good, and their restaurant is old and tired.  The carpet is threadbare, and the decorations are uninspiring.  In fact, there's really nothing to show on their walls.

While Sally used the toilet, I became fascinated by how the light showed through my lemon.  Sometimes little things make me smile and sometimes they reduce the boredom.

Although Sally and I normally get the same thing (flautas for her and chili relleno for me), this time she got a taco salad and I got a Mexican omelet.  I asked them to leave the hot peppers off, which are seen in a small container above my plate.  I seem to be having trouble with cheese omelets, even if this one claimed to be Mexican.  It was nothing more than cheese and the peppers I asked them to leave out.  I'm sure this uninspiring meal is why this T Tuesday post landed in the archives.

It's now time for you to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard wants to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.
