Project 365 ~ Week 48

I’m not entirely sure what happen last week but sadly I had only one picture to show for the entire week which I am including with this weeks pictures.

This week I made a more diligent effort to try and think 365 and I did much better, plus I also had a few memorable moments all thoughout the week that made the desire to take pictures more enjoyable.

Sometime you just don't have picture worthy moments happen ever day!

I made a triple batch of my Homemade Spiced Cranberry Sauce. I am ready for the holiday season and I don’t have to make any more Cranberry Sauce for a while.

Monday, November 22

My daughter was about ready to loose her mind as most of her friends had all seen Harry Potter 7 ~ Part One. I don’t normally spring for full price movie tickets but I made a special exception in this case. I forked over the cash and took her and a friend to see it!

I thought it was too long the DD thought it was AWESOME!

Today was my birthday, yea for me!!!

I started the day off with a sweet birthday surprise of my favorite blue birds giving my birdhouse in the back yard a visit. I am not sure what they are doing as it is very early for nest building. Maybe they are scouting locations for the upcoming spring and staking their claim early on this prime real estate.

Thursday, November 25

Thanksgiving morning I broke in part of my new cookware with a nice big breakfast. I did not have any major cooking to do as we are heading out to my husbands sister for Thanksgiving. Pillsbury Orange Danish are a childhood favorite of my husband and I always fix them on special occasions.

My sister in laws house is not far from the Georgia National Cemetery. My husband wanted to stop by and visit his fathers gravesite. We had not been there since the funeral. We are approaching the anniversary of his passing so I am sure it has been in the back of his thoughts for some time.

The Georgia National Cemetery opened for burials on April 24, 2006 and is 775-acre. As I drove out of the cemetery I lifted up a prayer that it would never be filled up.

Friday, November 26

Today was a day in the kitchen. I did all my prep work for my delayed Thanksgiving dinner party. You can see the menu here!

The favorite desert at our hose around the holiday and on birthdays is chocolate cheese cake. This year I pressed upon the DD that she needed to learn how to make said favorite so that she could one day be able to recreate this on her own. I am proud to announce that she completed this years addition from start to finish and all I did was supervise. It was very good!

Saturday, November 27

The migratory movement for the regular coffee cups takes place and the holiday cups are now being use. It is the very first sign that the Holiday season is beginning at our house.

I have to confess, anytime I am regulated to the position of guest especially on Thanksgiving I feel slightly cheated. What can I say I missed getting in my kitchen and cooking up a storm and having all those aroma’s wafting out of my kitchen. I made a few phone calls and quickly had a small gathering in the works. I tossed my dishes on the table for some holiday fellowship.

IMG_4481

Well given that I am a grown woman and I can make executive decision I opted to throw my own delayed Thanksgiving. Skoots1mom and her hubs came over and we enjoyed each other company and had a relaxing meal and then we put a few ornament on the tree and watch some collage football.

It was a wonderful even and an even better end to a holiday weekend.

Well that’s it for me and this week 365.

I hope everyone had a blessed and peaceful holiday week.

The cheesecake looks great - way to pass the baton there :)

I'm glad you're excited about your pots. I'm usually excited about new kitchen stuff, but I don't really use it so it's more of a "isn't that pretty?" kind of excitement. Heh.

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
