Happy New Year Image

Pictures to share

Happy day after Christmas. I hope yesterday was a good one for you and your family. We had a houseful of food, fun, and chaos and I always bask in that since it only happens a couple times a year. Today, I am breathing deeply and just doing what, if anything, I choose. So far I've divided up cookies and put some in the freezer. And I've washed dishes. That may be all I accomplish today. HAHA

Love and hugs~

6 more days until Christmas. Are you ready? It's a rather cloudy Wednesday here and we are to get rain tomorrow and Friday. Just what we need; more sloppy weather. At least we've had a few sunny days to get a little bit dried up. Hoping I can get grocery shopping done tomorrow morning before the rain starts. Have a happy hump day, friend. 

Christmas cheer~

What a rainy, cold Friday it is. But it's all good because I've gotten some things done and now am baking a double batch of Dave's favorite cookies for Christmas. My house smells like Mrs. Claus's kitchen. I have Christmas music playing and am feeling very festive. How is your day going? Is your weather good? 

Happiest hugs~

This is what happens when they call for s*ow here. Hopefully we won't get anything more than a few flurries.

Terrific Tuesday to you! I wish you could smell my kitchen right now. I have pumpkin spice/chocolate chip cookies baking and it smells so good! That was the only thing on my "agenda" for today; to bake a batch of cookies. How is your day going? Whatever you may be up to, I hope your day's a great one. Come grab a cookie if you get a chance. 

Hugs!

It is a beautiful Thursday for me, how about you? Sunshine and perfect temps for nearly December. I have just refilled the bird feeders and while I was out there, the birds were just fussing at me. As if to say, "hey, lady, hurry up". Now they are happy once again and I get to be entertained by the birds and squirrels from my living room windows. Hope your day is going great. Our beloved weekend is almost here.

Hugs and happiness~
