I am beginning to think...
Even these...
Would be a welcome sight...
In the garden...
How desperate is this?
How low have I sunk?
Pathetic.....
************
How about joining me for some of this....
Or better yet.....a slice and scoop of this....
Or.......more sensibly....a couple of these!
Quickly!
Hope you are enjoying your day....
I am still not 100%...and now the boyfriend is down...
Hopefully a short lived whatever.....geesh....cold and windy too!
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers! :o)

After the grocery shopping...
And a trip to the mall...
With my boyfriend....
I decided to sit at the kitchen table...
Admiring my African Violet...
I get sooo much sun here...
The plants love it ♥
The next 2 photos...
Tell a story in themselves....
Can you see him???
Forever lurking...
In every darn picture...
Hogging the limelight...
AGAIN!!!!
Darn you RED!
Okay....
Scroll down...
And...
I will fill you in...
On...
What I did today.....
I decided to make a few Thank You cards for my kids....
They gave my boyfriend and I such thoughtful lovely gifts...
And I just wanted to thank them.....again♥
I decided to make a jug..
Of...
Cucumber water....
And...
Vow...
To drink a jug a day...
And I did...
Oh...excuse me...
I'll be right back....
Pee break♥ tee hee hee!
I also got a bunch of Leeks...
To make potato and leek soup....
Will be on the stove tomorrow.....
I decided these plum tomatoes...
Needed...
To go...
On the table...
In the sunshine....
It is a miracle!!!
Red is not in this pic!!!
I must warn you...
The next few photos...
May be difficult to view...
I am entirely ashamed...
But...
Oh dear....
Lovely♥
It all started so innocently....
A nice cup of tea...
Something alongside...
It is all my son's fault...
I made another of those delicious...
Apple...
Blueberry...
Blackberry...
Raspberry...
Strawberry pies...
On Sunday...as...
He was expected...
But...due to...the...
Nasty weather...
Did not make it...
So....now...his father...
And I...are forced to...
Eat this hideous concoction....and use the rest of the horrible Ice Cream from Christmas...
Damn you!!!! tee hee hee.....I break myself up...sometimes...but...not very often...but this is definitely...
one time...hilarious.....I WANT MORE PIE!!!!...okay...settle down Dumbo!!!
So......this is what I did today...
How about you????
Was it as excellent as my day????
Are you still freezing out there????
Very.........very.......very cold here....did I say very???

When I came down to the kitchen on Christmas morning...
Look who greeted me♥
There was a light snow falling...and plenty of seed from the day before....
I had been sick for 2 days, and didn't get all the last minute things done, that were on my list...
But...
when I saw this lovely couple....
I knew everything would be just right♥
My boyfriend and I had spent the first Christmas Eve without our children in 39 years!
I was not well enough...and did not want them to get sick as well...
Unfortunately Miss V and her Mom were already sick...
So....we had a fire.....had some soup....and watched Alastair Sim as Scrooge....
My favorite movie EVER!!!
I had made my stuffing the night before....so I set about getting the turkey ready for the oven...
Vegetables ready...
All set....
Poached eggs,juice and some peameal bacon...
Showered....
Dressed....
Ok....ready!
OMG!!!
What about a pie?
I had gluten-free desserts coming with the kids...
But no pie!!!
Into the fridge...
I spy...
Apples....2
Strawberries...1 pkg
Blackberries.....1 pkg
Can I make a Strawberry...
Apple...
Blackberrie....
PIE????
Of course I can.......just watch me!
This is Christmas noon.....boyfriend at church....I can do it!
Let me tell you....it was magnificent!!!!
sliced apples...1/2 'd strawberries...whole blackberries...3tbsp flour....1/4 cup white sugar....
1/2 cup brown sugar....shake of cinnamon....few blobs of butter....delish!
Served with a couple of scoops of butterscotch praline ice cream...
What could be better???
I must tell you....
Miss V and her Mom were still under the weather yesterday...
They put on a brave face...but they just weren't up to par....
My son took pics of the day....
I took this shot...
Of the tree...
After all arrived....
arms loaded...with gifts for their sweet Miss V....
Wonderful.....loving.....caring Aunts and Uncles....so in love with Miss V♥♥♥
There were toys and clothes and pictures and books and blocks and chairs...phew!
It was all a blur....
We ate....reminisced....laughed....cried....and everything in between...
Our nephew joined us late in the evening...and had some pie♥
And shared some memories with 2 of his cousins♥
I hope you all had a wonderful day with your loved ones....
We did...........
Cheers! :o)
