back to work...

The boys' Cita (Aunt Cynthia) & Uncle Chris & cousins were visiting over Thanksgiving. For her I embroidered a flour sack towel to commemorate our dinner.

Because, at this house we don't do nasty sicky-sweet disgusting sweet potatoes with brown sugar & mini marshmallows! We chop root vegetables and roast them with rosemary oil. You would not believe how delicious they are -- all browned & caramelized from their natural sugars. . .

And yes, I did make my own rosemary oil (gots to do sumthin' with that rosemary bush growing in my garden!)

smattering of thankfulness...

So very grateful for men & women who have served our country in the military.

Blessed to hear my son play taps at his school's Veterans' Day Assemblies.

Thankful our little guy is finally feeling better. (He'd been running a pretty high fever most of the week.)

I'm pretty glad to have this bonnet, muff & cape finished.  Starting on the gown alterations Monday.

We were all happy to eat a Saturday morning breakfast of yummy scones.

Excited that in eleven days all these people (plus 5 additions) will be together. Epic reunion!
