It may be Halloween, but it feels like CHRISTMAS!

I'm torn between posting "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" 



or "The End"



Winter is coming for some, but for me...

Happy Birthday, super nana!!!

HAPPY 26th* BIRTHDAY, super nana!!

Please join us in wishing #4 and only daughter a joyful birthday!

*I was there and I'm almost certain she's a bit older, but if she says 26, then 26 it is! ;)

ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

I woke up this morning with a stuffy head and sneezing!

I.AM.SICK.

Almost a week to the day

First, thank you to everyone who left a comment last Sunday. It had been the end of a bad week for me and your comments helped cheer me up. Y'all reminded me that some things are temporary and no matter what, time really does heal. If nothing else, we move on. A bit stronger, a bit less sad.

NOW, I'm sitting in the breakfast room between kitchen duties while the MITM makes yet another one of his wonderful meals! Today it's chicken and sausage gumbo and I am ready. Of course, it will be a few hours before it's time to eat, but it already smells so delicious in here! Yesterday, he made a sweet potato pie, sweetpeas. I swear, but I am glad we deal with anxiety in different ways because the eating is hot damn good when he's anxious! (I know, I am horrible, right?) I just mope and sigh, but I do find comfort in all the gorgeous meals. (Not to toot my own horn (such an archaic phrase), but I am an excellent scullery maid!)

Anyway, it's Saturday, there are a few things to do around here that have been neglected, so....

Later Skaters

*I'll post some pictures later!*

Unrelated to food, but why not:

Sunday

It's been a James Taylor weekend for me. There's been some Tom Petty, too. Some Miles, some Coltrane, a bit of New Orleans second line.

Usually, it all helps.

I don't know anymore.

Saturday, but not in the park

ever have a saturday that just falls flat?

yeah, we're ordering a pizza.

don't judge









but if you do, well, that's OK, too.
it may be a bad saturday, but i can be magnanimous.






(you know i'm really laughing out loud right now at myself.)
