Bright sunshine----Bright future!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

That is what is happening in this house.  Mother has dozed off, the cat has a whole chair to stretch out in, and Jack is asleep.   Sooooooooooooo

 I decided to bake a pecan pie.  Mother was going to chop the nuts but since she looked so comfortable, I did it myself.  Now in about 40 minutes our house will smell good again! lol

Yesterday I worked with the digital camera that my daughter gave us for Christmas.  She worked with it but could never get the pictures to the computer, well I got them in the computer and actually sent one in an e-mail.  This is a real challenge.

The sunshine is so bright--it is bitterly cold but the sunshine is so wonderful!  We had plans but we are waiting for a longed for call from Jack's daughter. 

Oh, oh everyone is beginning to stir so I need to start the chicken, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce for lunch.  Somewhere in there we need something green!  Maybe english peas since Mother likes those.

I hope I don't offend anyone but I don't want BLACK EYED PEAS FOR NEW YEARS DINNER!  Perhaps mother will forget that they are traditional.   And she always makes a big pillowcase on New Years Day to hold all the money she will make.................so I need to locate a LARGE bit of fabric so I can make a really big one, too.

I guess everyone has  traditions for the holiday that are a little different from everyone elses.  Peace reigns right now here in Marigold Country Home, and I am away to start lunch.  Wish you could join us!
