The Solstice came and went. I made a nice meal that I ate alone because Steve went off to trivia, and G doesn’t ever eat what I cook. So I made myself happy and had a lovely potato soup.
Now we are just doing what other people do – getting together as we can, seeing family as they hit Atlanta. Eating. Knitting. Avoiding the crowds and staying warm.
I have to pay the water bill tonight and finish a slipper for Sara – and that’s it.
I made chicken enchiladas the easy way. Cut it up, mix it together, throw everything in a casserole and cover it with cheese. Yum. We made cookies and corn bread. I’ll make stuffing for Christmas and bread pudding. I can’t wait to see Haskell and Vanessa and Kelly. Their plane should arrive at 7:30 from San Francisco.
The house is quiet. The dog is snuggled against me. My ladder is twinkling. It’s a good night.
Happy Holidays everyone.
About Morning Knits
I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody.
I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats.
Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties.
I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.
