My Favorite Things . . .


These are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share! 


 


Generosity.  Being generous with our abundance, with our spirits, etc.  It's never a bad thing. It turns what we have into something more.


 

Mail, post, etc.  It is wonderful to send mail and wonderful to receive mail.  Our Postal workers in Canada are on strike at the moment.  So I may not be able to get my cards, etc. out on time.  But as they say, better late than never. Here's hoping there is enough time between now and Christmas to get the cards out.


 

Linen toweling.  I love this.  If I could afford it, all of my towels would be this type of fabric. So wonderful for drying dishes spotlessly.


 


Mmmm . . . chocolates. I miss Hotel Chocolate in the U.K. Best chocolates ever.


 

Needle felted penguins. So cute.


 

Candy canes  . . . 


 

Books wearing colorful jackets . . . 


 

Brown Paper packages and red and white ribbons  . . . 


 

Gum Drops  . . . 


 

Lanterns  . . . 


 

Stars  . . . 


 

Shiny red Christmas Balls  . . . 


 

Snow men . . .  snow people . . . 


 


Bottle Brush Trees . . . 


 

A little felt house . . . 


 


Gratitude  . . . 


 

The first snowfall of the year . . . 


 

A colorful flock . . . 


 

Another colorful flock . . . 


 

Martha . . .  who else.


 

More bottle brush trees  . . . 


 

Hearts all aglow . . . 


 

A sweet wreath  . . . 


 

A pretty notebook . . . 


 

Cupcake Reindeer  . . . 


And those are my favorite things for this week. Lots of pretties! Thanks so much for looking! 


Went out to supper last night with Cindy, Dan and Dad.  We went to the Big Scoop. It was pretty good. I had the pork chop again, which was grilled.  I love the smokiness that the grill brings. It was the special and so was quite cheap compared to everyone else's. It was nice to just get out of the house and have a change of scenery.  I need to do that more methinks. Today Cindy and I are going on a road trip up the Valley to a farmer's market near Acadia U.  They have good Sweet Potato biscuits there and Cindy is wanting some. We will visit a few other places as well.  Plus, we will solve all of the world's problems as we are driving in the car. Good times!

Green Bean & Stuffing Casserole


New in The English Kitchen today, Green Bean & Stuffing Casserole. Two holiday favorites mashed into one. Delicious! This is a small batch recipe.


I hope that you have a beautiful day. Thank you all for your sweet comments yesterday.  I managed to shake off my funk as the day progressed. I am lucky that I am a person who can do that.  I never stay down for long, but it does help to be able to voice and off load, so I thank you for listening to me and helping to lift me. It is very much appreciated.  Love you all loads and loads.  Do have a lovely day.  Stay safe, be blessed and don't forget!
