Let's join in with Sandra here.
Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
This morning I was up early taking my shower and baking my Christmas scones to take to my Sista's Christmas brunch..
I had shooed Hubs off to Krogers to get me the cream cheese I had forgotten and sweet man that he is stopped and got us a ham biscuit since it was early and the brunch was at 11.

Right now I am::
Now it is almost 3pm... following a very busy morning..I stopped at Krogers on the way home.. it seems we are always stopping at Krogers!!! It is wonderful to just sit down with a cup of coffee... I had it all fixed in a thermos to take with me because the brunch was not a particularly easy drive.. and I went right off and left the thermos on the counter! Doing this post is a bit of therapy for my aching body that has been on the run for the last few days!

The weather outside::::
A sunny bright day today with milder temps.. in fact when I got home I soon found I was way over dressed so I am now wearing transitional clothing... Whew! Feels much better!!
Looking around the house::::
My Christmas Card time was interrupted on Friday and I still need to get them addressed and mailed.... Man, do I ever feel behind this year!!! Hubs cried out to me to come look out the window just now and our whole front lawn in flooded.. a huge water line burst ..
Wow, what a hole that water created...
Hope that isn't our nickel!!!!It must have just happened! The street is really flooded!!! Drives me nuts.... cars just drive through it as if it wasn't there causing huge splashes and they almost get flooded... Where are some folk's brains!!!! Hubs is still outside taking photos waiting for the city authority to come... meanwhile gallons of water gushes out and spills over into our yard and onto the street.. I don't get it!!!

Bible~I Peter for study
The Broken Way by Ann Voskamp
Teatime Holiday Magazine for December
Can't wait to enjoy my new magazine!!! On the TV ::::
Cds of the British detective series, George Gently.. we watch an episode each evening... Oh, we have started the final season and I cry just about every episode.... I love George Gently... set in the 60's on eastern coast of England... the 60's era with its social issues resonates a lot with us 60 somethings!
I enjoy the Christmas Hallmark movies
I love the sappy ones like Signed Sealed and Delivered.. I saw some of it this morning while the scones baked!
On the menu this week:::
While I was gone today, Hubs fixed a huge pot of fresh kale to enjoy this week... He does the very best kale ever!!!
Homemade Vegetable Soup for these cold evenings
Chef salads with grilled and bbq chicken strips
and some light eating.. This weekend is a huge eating weekend.... a monthly dinner out with friends at a pizza place prior to a Bible Study, Senior Adult Christmas Dinner, Cousin dinner at our best local seafood buffet. Oh my goodness, and last but not least Fancy hotel brunch....

If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::
sit by the Christmas lights, read a good book with a cup of cocoa and listen to some beautiful Christmas instrumentals!
Maybe I can convince Hubs we need a fire...
I still haven't had a chance to do this!
