May you have a glorious weekend. At the moment I am enjoying one of my favorite coffee blends called Creme Brulee and a Creme Brulee creamer to go with it to make it even more special to the taste.
So exciting for in our area we just might see some snowflakes coming down on Monday. Now wouldn't that be delightful to ones eyes. Smiles Gloria
May you have a very pleasant wintery day today. We did get a bit of dusting of snow for over night and there is frost on the roof tops. My how I enjoy winter and all the snow flakes that fall from the sky. Stay warm and I will do the same in our area. Now where did I put that snow shovel. hahah Smiles Gloria

Though your heart is achin' Smile, Even though it's breakin' When there are are clouds in the sky You'll get by... If you smile Through your fear and sorrow Smile, And maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shinin' through, For you... Light up your face with gladness Hide, every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time, You must keep on tryin' Smile, what's the use of cryin' You'll find that life is still worth while If you just smile If you smile Through your fear and sorrow Smile, and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shinin' through for you... Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear May be ever so near That's the time You must keep on tryin' Smile, what's the use of cryin' You'll find that life is still worth while If you just smile If you... just smile
I want to wish you a very Happy Thanks giving.
May God Bless you.
Ill be back soon. still trying to get better with my arm.
What a nice Friday day with snow on the ground which is putting a twinkle in my eyes and a smile on my face.
Just put together a nice soup mixture in the instant pot and my can't wait to have some of those oyster crackers mixed into the soup.
Just had to make up some gingerbread spice flavored coffee to make my day even more special. May you have a glorious day sharing your smiles and your giggles. Smiles Gloria
Let it snow, Let it snow! Such a treat this morning seeing some snow on the ground. Puts a smile on my face. Look what came to the feeder also this morning, giving me such joy.
The rest of the story though is that it has been raining and snowing so it is very slippery outside today. A good day to make up some home made soup and stay in doors. My goodness one must have those cute oyster crackers to go along with the soup. Gee I sure know how to spoil myself. hahaha . May you have a lovely day enjoying your moments and I will do the same here in this neck of the woods.
Hi there Margo! Just sitting around reminiscing & organzing pics. Taking them out of crumbling photo albums & putting them in a plastic organizing case. Have a good Wednesday!🦊
We have some great color on some leaves, but still have an awful lot of green leaves. Plenty of fallen leaves to sweep away from the front door and the back patio, though. Sorry you have missed out on a lot of fall color due to your weather--perhaps next year you will get all the color and both Michigan and Wisconsin will miss out. Or everyone will have beautiful colors--that would be even better. We've been having cloudy days and plenty of rain--very nice after our hot, dry summer. Though not so great in the chicken yard. The hens pecked or scratched every green plant down to bare dirt, which is now a sea of mud and very slippery in my yard shoes, so I let my hubby go into that area since his boots have a lot more traction and he navigates the area just fine.
It's odd to have a major appliance with new features you have to get used to, but eventually you will and may grow to like them. I was thinking of the place in your new dishwasher that holds spatulas and I assume other large (and mostly flat) utensils. Have you now owned the new dishwasher long enough to finally remember to check for the spatulas when you put away clean dishes?
Sorry your microwave may be going out on you and would need a service call to get it either repaired or replaced. We don't have one of the over-the stove ones. In fact, our microwave is also a convection oven (though I have never used it as one and would have to read the book that came with it to figure out how to cook anything that way) and is parked on top of a dresser in our dining room, so it's not even in the kitchen--though it is right next to it and that is a convenient enough location for us.
I never looked at my mother not being able to drive as perhaps causing her to feel as though she's in prison, but I can see where that might be so if my brother and I don't make enough of an effort to take her out to different places often enough. Thank you for thinking of that, I'll mention it to Patrick the next time I talk with him.
This summer we put up sheets on some of the curtain rods along with the curtains to help keep the heat out of our home so our air conditioners wouldn't have to work so hard. I've taken them all down once summer ended and got them washed and put away. I've also added an extra blanket to our bed and may or may not add another one. The pellet stove in the basement tends to keep our house warm enough that we don't need too much in the way of extra bedding in the colder months, but we do have it available if it becomes needed. I don't like becoming too hot in the summertime, but I don't mind being warmed up in the colder months. Isn't that funny, Margo? Contrary creatures, aren't we?
The Halloween decor has been put away except for the two items I had our trick-or-treat candy in and a tiny pumpkin I overlooked. I put the mini candy bars into gallon Ziploc bags and will put away the Halloween containers once they're washed, then everything will be put away for another year. Except a sparkly raven candleholder I have. I kind of like it and leave it out with the other fall items until the Thanksgiving feast has been consumed. Then I like to clear the decks so I can start Christmas decorating the day after T-day. Phooey on Black Friday shopping--I leave that for others who have a lot more shopping fortitude than I do--I want to pull out all of the pretty Christmas decor and purdy up the house. Preferably while listening to Xmas music, though I don't often get to have that because my hubby watches football games instead. Grinchy-poo! Ha-ha-ha...
Please stay healthy and have a great week! Love and Hugs, Paula
