Tis' The Season

 Life has been crazy busy, but in a good way!

I received my first Christmas card, that always enhances my Christmas spirit.

I adore snail mail.

It had a long, beautiful, hand written note in it and that made me feel very special.

Many thanks to the sender, 

I know you read my blog every day and you are a very special friend to me.

We decorated the house, both inside and out over thanksgiving weekend...

that's when we always do it.

Here's a peek at the lights on the backyard deck.

This is my favorite part because I can see them from inside the house.

Our home has a lot of windows in the back, so I can see them from every room.

No lights in the front, but it still looks pretty!

I am still receiving Home Chef meals and I have been cooking a lot.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs with White Rice and Coleslaw

This was delicious!

Italian Sausage Pasta with Brussels Sprouts

Delicious too!

With my cast off I am able to knit again, I am still working on the same project...

I love the edges.

I am using yarn my niece bought for me in New Zealand

I have been working on making a few Christmas Ornaments, I will show you when I am done.

I will also do a post on the Christmas decorations in the house, everything looks pretty.

The tree is coming down today, I have such mixed feeling about it.

It is a beautiful tree and I will miss the shade and privacy it provided to us for all these years.

But for safety reasons, I am glad it is coming down!
