Project 365 ~ Week 50

I got four out of seven this week, I did some more Christmas shopping and I have a few more things to get and some stocking stuffers and then I will be done with my shopping. Yea for me!

So lets get on with my week.

No pictures on Sunday or Monday:(

Tuesday, December 11

I was out in the backyard and I noticed that not only did I have some new leaf lettuce but I was super excited to see a very small head of lettuce in the works in my salad patch! I will be picking this very soon…the Hubs can’t wait.

I broke out the heels for the Hubs office Christmas party. Thankfully it was a short party and I was not walking around in them for very long. Y’all I am not a Foo Foo girl.

I scored some really almost new looking books at Goodwill the other day. I found this one. It was a blast from my past. I simply could not walk out with out this childhood memory on my cart. It had been so long since I had read this book I had forgotten the story line. Y’all it’s about a Hen that plants a wheat seed and then grows it, harvests it, grind it up and makes a loaf of bread.

Hmmmm very interesting that as a child I like a book a bout a gardening and bread baking hen!

I spent a few minutes wrapping gifts on Saturday morning. Regretfully I need to make a run to Wal-Mart as I do not have enough tissue paper to finish all my wrapping. On a more festive note I just think a tree isn't full finished until it has a few presents under it.

I think I am going to have my Christmas Brunch and Dinner in my newly equipped Dinning Room. I am even going to pull out some of my grandmother dishes. I figured that since it was the holidays that I would pull out a few pieces of her silver. I love her silver pieces but you know silver….it needs to be polished

Before…

Ooh I love the silver too! And that's too funny about the Little Red Hen. What does it say about me that one of my favorite books as a child was about a witch who made pancakes?

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...

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...
