First of all, I want to say that I am having one heck of a time commenting, on my own blog and everyone else's too. Please know that I am following along on your adventures. Even if I can't leave a comment.
We have a more than foot of snow on the ground and it still falling gently but steadily outside. Fred and Houdi have been fascinated by the big fluffy flakes and sit side by side at the sliding glass doors watching them, one orange and one gray head bobbing alertly as they watch the snow falling.
As for us, we have been snug as two bugs in a rug. Last night, Tim and I curled up to watch the old movie 'Starman' with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. Tim had never seen it. I had forgotten what a lovely piece of escapism it was.
We do have to go out today. That will give me a chance to pick up a bag of onions and some instant yeast. I have a craving for French onion soup.
My aunt died on the first day of the new year, my father's oldest sister. I got my middle name from her.
The holidays are over and this is the last weekend for the tree and lights. We will savor the dregs of the holiday as we eat the holiday left overs: sauerkraut and pork, venison and roasted vegetables or ham and spinach quiche...take your pick.
Stay warm and cosy!
ReplyDeleteSaw Starman a long time ago, loved it. Truly was a great piece of escapism, and we all need a lot of that these days.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I've seen Starman but I do remember thinking it was a beautiful film.
ReplyDeleteSending condolences to you on the death of your aunt.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Fred and Houdi were getting on. Are they the only cats left now? ( For now😸😉)
ReplyDeleteCondolences on your family loss. It is that time of year...we lost a very close friend and teammate from Whyalla near Adelaide on New Year's Eve
Glad you are warm and snug! We are thinking of going out tomorrow. I have a shopping list.
ReplyDeleteCommenting: sometimes switching devices helps, but you've probably already tried that.
ReplyDeleteI only have my phone, so I haven't tried that. Our computer desk is being made.
DeleteYou sound very content. Good start to the year.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry for your loss Debby... enjoy your holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about the loss of your Aunt, always difficult and doubly so at this time of the year. We too are finishing up leftovers, although not so many as I made an effort not to buy so much. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteCondolences on the loss of your aunt. So how are the cats going. I am setting up my new computer and the cat is flat out on the desk beside me here.
ReplyDeleteNot a Swedish proverb - but good advice anyway.
