I think I need a day to wind down. I suspect many of you do as well. Let's take a few moments and just relax. Reality can wait for a bit.

Getting Into The Holiday Spririt
This year many of us are having a difficult time getting into the holiday spirit. I'm putting one foot in front of the other, and doing what feels comfortable. We put up our tree yesterday and trimmed it with all of our decorations. You can see we need a new tree-topper-- the angel's lights finally blew out after 20 years!
I enjoy looking at each ornament and remembering where they came from or who made them. I picked up this fun pair this afternoon. Maybe they're a happy sign about our upcoming family vacation!
These two boxes contain vintage ornament which we found in my parents' attic during the cleanout. This was my share of them! I'm going to put these on now, but I may need a bigger tree!
I hope anyone struggling this holiday season takes time for themselves, and just do what you're up for. Remember, even in "normal" years, the holidays can be hard enough. We'll get by with a little help from our WTIOC friends.

Happy Weekend!!
Good morning, friends! Pull up a chair and let me get you a cappuccino.
We're getting our Christmas tree today. I can't wait!
What do you have planned for the weekend?

Humor me once again

Now back to my daily boring activities. I mentioned in a past comment that I received an Instant Pot from my girls as an early Christmas gift. We have used it a couple of times. The first time was an attempt at Rice and Beans which turned out really well! It was used in taco bowls. So good!
Our second attempt was Lentil soup. We messed it up a little bit but it tasted great!!
My daughter and her best friend agree.
Have a great day !

It"s that time of year
This past weekend was dreary and rainy. The good news is that all the snow melted from the storm last week... The bad news is it was dreary and rainy as mentioned above. Sigh. Perfect weather to start decorating for Christmas. My heart wasn't in it but with some teamwork things are starting to come together. I like a holiday drink while decorating and decided to make hot buttered rum. An old recipe that I make every few years.
Disclaimer..This is not even the least little bit healthy.
It was delicious as always and I consider the weekend a success.
Holiday memories can be difficult, but it is so nice to have a reason to look back.
Enjoy the next few weeks everyone.
