T Stands for a Picnic in My Winter Jacket

 Hi everyone. Tuesday has rolled around again so quickly. I have a feeling this month is going to fly by as fast as last month did. The last few days have been gorgeous in New Hampshire, more like late April or May, and I have been busy outside. I've raked, painted and even done some cleaning.  

We are suppose to have one more nice day before the temperatures fall back to a cooler normal range, and I am not going to spend it working in the yard. I've got to have one play day out of  6 nice ones. Smile.

As it is Tuesday, that means it is time to share our drink related posts for T over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog . 

Today's  T Day post happened back during the birthday weekend at my house (October 30-November 1) that I wrote about last Tuesday. My daughter and her beau came so we could celebrate as a family Friday night, and on Saturday/Halloween, my daughter's beau went to visit some of his friends who live near us. My daughter and her beau live about 2 hours away, so even though it was too bad her beau left, it worked out as we could visit with our daughter some more.  Plus her beau could also see  friends  he doesn't get to visit with very often. My daughter stayed with us until Sunday morning. 

On Saturday it was pretty chilly (near freezing temperatures), so my daughter and I went for a drive.  Our direction was Meredith, New Hampshire, about 30 minutes away.

 It is tough thinking of what to get her for  Christmas this year. For one thing she's been working from home so she doesn't need clothes. She and her beau lives in a smallish apartment that is already pretty full.  I am trying to get some things bought both in stores and online early because with covid, 1) I don't want to be out with big crowds and 2) I don't want to finally think of something only to find it is out of stock.

 My daughter has a small felt animal Christmas collection from Annalee Dolls. One idea I did have was that  she could pick out another Annalee holiday animal for her collection. Plus it would be something she could have for years. 

This is the little collection she has. 

She liked that idea so off we went to Annalee dolls. 

This store was doll overload.

This is why my husband chose to say home.

You can see the store was pretty empty, other than non-covid spreading dolls.

My daughter had a tough time picking out another piece, but she did fund a cute holiday elephant . 

Afterward our little shopping experience, it was lunchtime, so we headed to a sandwich shop we like in Meredith. (Sorry, I don't know the name.) Our plan was to get sandwiches and eat in the car. We went in to order and were told to wait at a picnic table outside where our food would be brought to us when it was ready.

This sandwich shop is in a nice older home as you can see. That's my daughter at the picnic table on the left with the winter hat and layers of clothing on.

Even though it was cold, the sun was really nice. There was no breeze. We decided it doesn't take that long to eat a sandwich, so instead of eating in the car we would remain at out table. 

Besides, the view from the table was really nice.

This is Meredith Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. The water is so calm  and at this time of year there is no boat traffic. 

And here's our lunch. We didn't have to buy drinks because we grabbed what we had in the car. You can see my Diet Coke and my daughter's bottle of water.

My daughter's sandwich in the back was a salmon BLT (bacon,lettuce and tomato). My sandwich in the front was a grilled cheese with prosciutto and fig jam. I had never had fig jam on a grilled cheese before, and it was really delicious.

I have to say it was a really tasty and nice lunch, even if we never took our jackets off. Afterwards we  drove home the opposite of the lake that we drove up along.

That's all for me for T this week. With all my yard work I am ready to go relax with a little TV.

Hope you have a super T day and upcoming week.

Thanks for visiting.
