The End Of Another Month











Holy Smoke!!!!
We Had the most wonderful Thanksgiving in most every way.. The only thing missing were family members and they were missed greatly...  [Mom, Jenn and Andy and John and Jeanette] I hope yours were good too!!
The weather was so beautiful that we were able to enjoy the outdoor eating experience for the first time in many years.... Thank You so much to the host and hostess for such a lovely time.. the food was outstanding and we all went home fat and happy....  Amy and Eric sure know how to put it all together... Nice job!!!!!
Work has been good these past few weeks ,I have still been having fun..
Thank You! Thank You!
I am so looking forward to my trip to Seattle coming up quickly...
Hang in there Aidan, I am coming as fast as I can...
I  just can't wait....
I was able to finish the Dec. book club book , and get one more sketch done in the sketch  book, a little shopping done but no decorating yet.. and no black Friday for me...
This week is another full one, but a good one too... I worked Saturday, Sunday, then I am doing Wednesday, Thursday two doctor appointments, Friday, Saturday and Sunday .... Sounds good doesn't it....
I am doing some fun Christmas pictures among them....It is getting me in the spirit...
Okay enough. Now get out there and have a great day....

 I feel so much better today, no headache... Thank You , Thank You!!!
I did get much accomplished yesterday though, didn't let it slow me down...
Pat,Linda and I met for breakfast for the first time in a month or so.. and that was very nice.. they are all going away for Thanksgiving so we took advantage of the time still here... Pat and I then walked to the book store and browsed around....fun... I even started my Christmas shopping...
Friday was a good day... I had a class of 14, 8year olds at 3:30 and then a class of 12 Adults at 7:00p.m. both went well and I am pooped, but happy...
We got wy to the doctor for his hurting, and things are looking better there...
I got the cover of my sketchbook 2012 painted and I am very happy with that...  still working on the inside pages... time's a ticking away so must devote some more time to that...
I started the DEC. book club book last night and am getting into it too....
Too many tubs of slaw ,too little time... Where is it going in such a hurry????? Time that is....
The weather has been so nice for the last few weeks and I have been enjoying that...
 okay all is well here, so on with this lovely day...

Can This Be Right??








As I opened my eyes at six a.m. can it be raining again....amazing!!
 Anyway  Wy's birthday dinner went pretty well... I made a carrot cake, three layer from scratch.. and it is good and than made steak salteado and that was very yummy too!!! Thank You, That they both were very much worth the effort.....
Another headache today,  which I have been having them way to regularly lately and am not pleased about it, but oh well!!!!
It's the start of a busy weekend and I am looking forward to it..Saturday is, and has always been, my fave......
I finished reading "Julia and Julie" on the nook  and really enjoyed that... but it made me aware that I will not be interested in cooking much in the french style... Brains, Kidneys,marrow,... I guess I am not that adventurous when it comes to what I eat....
Reading Amy's entry in her blog this week makes me know the feelings she is having, as she cooks and enjoys the whole experience.... The since of smell was so great yesterday while both things were cooking at different times during the day, I know that was a big part of what kept me going....That and  the end results were so good...
Hearing the pitter patter of the rain gets my mind to wandering, where I do not know, but am having trouble with the task at hand, so I will close for now ... see you soon, here...
