Nothing I’ve done tonight is working out. I was fooling around with a seamless background border for my blog, but it didn’t go well. I’m going to keep at it because someday I know I’m gonna finally ‘get it’.
In lieu of a post today, I’ve decided to take the easy way out, and do this.
Outside my window it’s dark and chilly.
I am thinking that all I have done tonight is for naught.
I am thankful that I feel really well.
From the kitchen the cookies are calling me. Why can’t it be the cheerios? Or the apples?
I am wearing gray Polartech pants, white mock-turtleneck (I can’t stand turtlenecks anymore)an old Eddie Bauer wool vest, socks and my sheep slippers.
I am creating absolutely nothing. Nothing has worked all evening. It happens sometimes.
I am going out to the kitchen and pop a soft pretzel in the microwave. And have it with some Grey Poupon. I love saying Pou-pon.
I am reading Julia Child’s “My Life in France”.
I am hoping that my Thanksgiving recipes are a success.
I am hearing little yelps from George’s doggie dream. It probably involves squirrels.
Around the house it’s good to have clean windows in the living room. They were a lot of work.
One of my favorite things is when children at school are happy to see me.
A few plans for the rest of the week include gathering ingredients for my recipes, and seeing family members on Thursday.
Here is picture thought I am sharing.
I took this photo at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania when they had their orchid display this past spring.
And now, if you will . . . Please fill in the blanks:
