• Happy New Year!

       We’re tiptoeing around today because Pumpkin did too much partying last night. We really don’t want to wake him up.  He can be a bit cranky… …when he hasn’t had his sleep. I’m sure he’ll feel better later today.  After all, it’s the first day of 2013 and he’s probably dreaming of a gourmet dinner. We eat black-eyed peas…

  • Bittersweet

    Our house is filled to the brim with family now.  I’ve had 2 of my granddaughters staying with me for the past 2 weeks and last night my son, his wife and Lily arrived from Germany.    Every bed is taken, the dishwasher runs everyday, along with the washer and dryer.  There are gifts to wrap and a house to clean,…

  • Thanksgiving

    The day is damp with a bit of drizzle.  Just enough to make us bundle up.  The rain would be welcome this time of year and our umbrellas are waiting, but secretly I’m hoping it skips us today.   Rain tomorrow would be just fine.  I hope your Thanksgiving day brings you sunshine.   Soon our dining room will be…
