Home Alone

Filed under: Home,Life — gardener @ 5:07 pm

I spent the day out shopping with my sis and when I got home- Marcel, mom and diddy were gone. They’d gone to a dinner, so that gave me a little time to myself to just take care of a few things that “I” wanted to do.

It has been good to be able to do that- to have a time out of all the hustle and bustle of vacation time and just relax and breathe. They are on their way home, so I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked, but at least I had some and hopefully they’re bringing me some dinner, because I’m hungry.

Cooking

I’ve officially started my Christmas baking. Two days ago I baked a Dutch apple tart- a sour cream pound cake, plus an apple, spice cranberry-nut cake. The first two have made it to their homes and the last one will be delivered tomorrow evening. Aside from that, I have a LOT of cookies and other recipes in the mix so I can whip up Christmas trays to give to busy people who don’t have time to do holiday baking.

I love this time of the year.

Making a List

Most of you who know me- know that as much as I wish he didn’t, my darling husband smokes. I’m allergic to smoke of any type- so he doesn’t do it around me, but he does do it. It’s a habit that he is hoping to kick sometime in the near future, or so he says- but I still caught him looking at xikar lighters online the other day. I thought he was searching for Christmas gifts- but maybe he has that in mind for himself. I’m not sure since he didn’t mention it, but he did make sure I saw it- so I guess it’s possible.

I guess we’ll have to see what Santa leaves under the tree.

Gratitude

Saturday’s bits of gratitude.

1- A day filled with fun and laughter out shopping with my sis. ♥ you!!!

2- Men who stop you in the parking lot of a store to tell you which register to use to get in and out of the store the fastest! Love tips like that and friendly people!

3- Being ‘home alone’ for a little while this evening- allowing me to catch up with a little work I need to get done.

4- Technology- which allows me to send photos and get instant answers while out shopping. Makes life So easy!

5- The golden glow of afternoon sunshine.
