Holiday Season 2022 - Lunch and Shopping with Noel

Saturday, December 10, 2022



Lunch with Noel. 

We ate at Frost's and both had French toast. 



Did a little shopping. I picked up some cigars at Stogies On Grand. 



We stopped at the former Bibelot which is now called Good Things. Noel pointed out these Santa and snowman cocktail tumblers. There were four different ones but they were sold individually and not as a set. Noel felt they were right up my alley and she was not wrong. I was going to just get one but she insisted I should have at least two to make something of a set. I gave in, picked another one and got in the queue to check out. Noel continued to look around but eventually joined me in line. I thought "what-the-hell" and told her to go grab me the other two. 

Found this snowman at Good Things as well. It fits all my criteria for a snowman tchotchke. It looks 1940s retro or thereabouts, the arms are snow and not sticks, button nose and not carrot (although I'm sometimes will to budge on this one), top hats are recommended. 



Dale good naturedly needled me how much I spent after I got home and showed him what I bought. I (jokingly) threw Noel under the bus and (jokingly) told Dale she forced me to buy more than what I wanted and that it was all her fault. 

I had an Ashton cigar out in the garage before dinner.
