Steak and Ham...Sewing and Soup.

 


Good morning, friends...

I hope all of my American friends enjoyed a fun and peaceful Thanksgiving.  We certainly did.

Now we're heading into the Christmas season!  Doesn't seem possible it's here already.  

Remember I told you I was just going to leave our big tree out in storage because I felt it would be too heavy for Larry to deal with?  I ran out to check on my sister...was only gone for about an hour but...long enough for Larry to sneak out into the storage building and bring everything in!  It's only been barely a month since his surgeries...okay...I'll shut-up about it.  As he says in so many words, "you not the boss of me..." lol...we'll see...




We got a little tired of turkey and ham and opted for a steak for lunchtime.  It hit the spot.





Sam and Everett go to Everett's grandparent's home for holidays as well as coming here.  They usually take photos of all the kids.  These turned out so cute!  And tell me baby Sloane isn't a ham!  Lolol...she's such a good baby.









Our granddaughter Samantha's newest photo for her salon.  She's such a sweetheart...and a hard worker.  We are so very proud of her.





Great-granddaughter Sloane, playing with her cousin, Arlis.  Looks like there was a bit of a competition going on...lol 






I've now got nine blocks made...takes a while.  I sew and watch quilting or Christmas videos on the computer...a nice quiet time.  Steady as she goes...












Larry made some potato soup.  We'll have it again soon!  Geez, it was wonderful!  




I know parents that have done this...makes a bad situation, worse.  The children become resentful.





Our 13-year-old Buddy getting some warm blanket cuddles.






This is so true!  Sometimes, especially the older we are, it becomes such a challenge to push ourselves into doing even the easiest of chores.  But...If you can, Do!  I push the, "I don't 'wanna's", out the back door and, do it anyway...it's hard sometimes but, I always feel better afterwards. 

Well, I guess that's it for me this week.  I pray you all are healthy and safe, wherever you may be.
