Good morning, Friends...Well, Christmas is getting closer...38 days, as of today! There's so much to do...We'll be having a fish fry for Thanksgiving...we're a little tired of the traditional turkey...and the kids will have had their fill of it on the 28th...so we are cooking on the 29th. Fish just sounded good.
Here's William and Cailin at Will's Staff Sergeant Promotion ceremony... He's only just turned 25. We are SO proud of him!
Amen!!
Here's Larry putting together the Christmas tree stand cover that he made for me. I'll be using this instead of a skirt.
Here's our Sloane enjoying visiting with her Lolli (our Crystal).
And here's a roast Larry made yesterday...It was so tender (Instant Pot for 2 hours) that it just fell apart. So good on a cool day...72 degrees.
Here's Paula Deen's seasoning mix.
House Seasoning
1 C salt
1/4 C black pepper
1/4 C garlic powder
Rub on any meat then cook
I use it on everything...Found the recipe, as you can see, in 2003...and have used this container ever since.
Waiting for the tree...
And Larry had to take out our old heater to do some repairs on it.
It looks just like this one we have in the playroom. We use gas space heaters a lot, in extremely cold weather, to cut on the electric bill. Works well for us.
Well, guess I'd best get in there and get busy cleaning. I'm also trying to clean out the curio cabinets of things the kids probably don't want. I'll just be keeping my china sets...some things from my Mom and her Mom...and my books, what's left of them. I did a purge on books a few weeks back. I also took an old rocker to Salvation Army. I did ask the girls first if they wanted it but no was the answer...so off it went. Now I have room for my Christmas tree again.
Well, I suppose that's it for me this week. I have two doctor appointments next week...oh how fun. Hopefully the eye doctor will cut this green wrist band off! But he threatened me that HE was the only one allowed to remove it...oh alright then...lol
Hope you all are doing well and staying safe...so until next time...
