Coffee on the porch?

YESSSSSSSS!!!

Christmas Memory

…I found this ‘letter’ I wrote to Santa a FEW years ago. This excerpt made me laugh…”My home is in this house. You will never find me I’m sure! Just be careful I will trip you. I am sneaky very sneaky!”. Despite this elf’s ‘warning’, Santa, the gentleman that he is, thanked her and loved her anyway.

Making soup

for dinner tonight and wondering about the many family meals that were prepared using these two kitchen relics – Grandma’s dutch oven and Mom’s wooden spoon. The soup still has to simmer, but as the aromas of thyme, leeks, and mushrooms fill the house on this December 1st evening, so, too, is my heart filled with memories…and I am blessed that both are a delight…

Poem

**“A morning snowfall, a tangled brush, two beauties pausing in the hush…”**

It’s probably earwax.

I keep getting these in the mail…addressed to ME! I’m wondering if the Mr. is behind it…

Today is overcast and gray,

but yesterday our garden was dressed in red!

Saying fare thee well to Ben with blessings

Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future…”

Bell’s Seasoning has got me…

SINGING!

Though I’m slightly embarrassed by posting this photo of the ‘use-by’ date, I’m singing, RING-A-DING-DING – this Bell’s Seasoning (SO TRADITIONAL!!!) is finally used up! From now on, I’m starting a new tradition by making my own seasoning blend starting with this recipe…

There’s no such thing as a gray day

when a beautiful cardinal patiently poses for a weary walker…

I know better…

You’d think that it is only because Lake Placid is so famous that my hometown would show up on a Jeopardy ‘answer’ last night…
