Holiday Weekending...

Plenty of hanging out...time in nature...hours spent knitting...a bit of chaos as the kitchen floor is finished...even an adventure to the movie theatre.

We are all looking forward to the festivities of the Advent Season, which begins today (!!!) though our first official meal and candlelighting will have to wait for tomorrow, when the kitchen floor is finished. 

*fingers crossed*

I Love This Day!

In the past...Mom and I went shopping all day and all night (seriously...)  But these days, Mom can't, and I greatly dislike shopping (seriously).

I love this day because I pulled off another Thanksgiving...such a relief...today is a day to *loaf* (which I am particularly good at) and...

a yarn shop opened up in my town!!!!!   (going to brave the rain and check it out today...maybe...)

Oh!  Plus, we have some of Mémé's apple tart left-over in our fridge  ♥♥♥

Alone in the Car with Dassa

Me:  So, Dass.  Tell me something.  What are you thankful for?

Dassa:  Ummmm....well, I'm thankful we have a house.

Me:  Oh, me too.  A place to stay warm and dry and...

Dassa:  Actually, I'm thankful for my family.  'Cause you can replace your house, but you can't replace your family.

Me:  (whoa...)
