Catching Up with Good Friends

My favorite partner has been wanting to take me to lunch

since my last day at work.

We met at the old office

so I went over a little early to say hello

to some other good friends first.

My beautiful 4 Sisters

in their stark winter dress.

Without meaning to,

we wore the same color sweaters!

Along with a yummy lunch 

at F & B

(a French bistro), 

it was a Joy to catch up.

Blessed be.

Venturing Out

Venturing out

before it gets dark.

It was c-o-l-d and icy.

I stayed close to the house

and it was still cold.

My moon boots are over 30 years old!

I never go very far

so they are still just fine. 

Our treat to warm us up.

(And, yes, I love marshmallows!)

Savouring January - Day 17 - Feel

Today I feel the quiet Joy of contentment. 

It’s a snow day so my cute hubby 

has been working from our kitchen table 

and I’ve been baking Grandma’s Honey-Oatmeal bread 

and working on our Epiphany letter.

Blessed be.

Savouring January - Day 10 - Nature

While not as chilly as it has been, 

this January day was gray and damp as predicted. 

Stopping by to say hey to Mary is always good, 

heartwarming medicine for both body and soul.

Blessed be.

Savouring January - Day 4 - Dream

My new air fryer cooks up grilled ham and Swiss sandwiches 

(with a sprinkling of poppy seeds like Moma used to make) 

like a dream! 

 A perfect lunch on this cold, blustery day.

It's based on a recipe from l-o-n-g ago when I was a little girl. 

Back then the local gas company would put on a cooking show 

and hand out little books with recipes in it, 

including the ones they had just demonstrated. 

The original recipe called for making a spread 

of mustard, butter, grated onion and poppy seeds. 

Today I just smear both insides of my bread with a little mayo,

 top that with a thin layer of yellow mustard, 

and sprinkle both sides generously with poppy seeds. 

As you probably can imagine, 

the poppy seeds add a bit of yummy crunch. 

Delish!
