Poor Jasmine, it must be hard on her not getting to see dad much.<br /><br />I watch House too. I thought it was pretty good last night.<br /><br />I never had roasted chestnuts but I'd like to try them someday.

You always make me feel so welcome. Your tea sounds fantastic. Go over to Beck's food blog she has a Pumpkin Log I'm going to make this weekend. I love Pumpkin.<br />Have a great day and good luck on the laundry end.<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341970243162181712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-90897635595224197002006-09-19T23:23:00.000-05:002006-09-19T23:23:00.000-05:00That is rough, you being so sick.

Heh, BC is closer to you than Portugal...and we roast chestnuts here this time of year right up to Christmas! <br /><br />I'm like you..love love love fall and winter. I'm a Thanksgiving and Christmas gal all the way. And while you enjoy your pumpkin spice tea, I'll have my Pumpkin Spice latte from Starbucks! The official start of fall is when they're back on the menu board, which was last week.<br /><br />Have a great Wed and hope you're feeling better soon.<br /><br />RenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-23877135583166384522006-09-19T22:45:00.000-05:002006-09-19T22:45:00.000-05:00sorry to hear about the shift change .... and just...sorry to hear about the shift change .... and just when you get used to that new schedule they are on to another one!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-72651068240509671942006-09-19T19:56:00.000-05:002006-09-19T19:56:00.000-05:00Oh, I so hope you are feeling better now.

So hope yours goes away soon and you feel much much better!<br /><br />I just love to read your blog, it is like a warm comfy place :) I'm off to check off the mushroom stew recipe and also your book blog... and I wanted to ask - are you liking the Rachael Ray show? I'm on vacation (checking in to some of my fave blogs though!) and haven't had a chance to see it yesterday or today. I will watch it when I get home, but just wondering!<br /><br />Feel better and take care :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-30606764958488982832006-09-19T19:28:00.000-05:002006-09-19T19:28:00.000-05:00As always, a visit to your place comforts me. Yest...As always, a visit to your place comforts me. Yesterday was rough. I try so hard to remember how our words, just tossed around carelessly, can wound someone and yesterday I really blew it. I prayed for the person I hurt, that she realizes there's comfort in being able to forgive. And I prayed that I am more careful in the future.<br /><br />No resolution but that's all I can do. I'll continue to pray.<br /><br />Rob has always worked shift work. Now that our children are grown it's easier but honestly, it was really hard when the girls were little. I hated them not seeing their Daddy and he hated it too.<br /><br />It's hard but we work around it. Really, it's mostly a matter of attitude and I can tell you have a good one.<br /><br />I hope you get better soon. These change of season colds seem to be the hardest of all to get over. I'm getting the whole sinus thing now. Happens every fall and every spring. Surprisingly, I seem to be healthiest in the dead of winter!<br /><br />You inspired me with your tea. I'm off to make a cup of my favorite, Celestial Seasonings raspberry zinger, with honey of course, because it really does soothe the throat.<br /><br />Always a pleasure to stop in and visit with you.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-43986856922463390872006-09-19T18:51:00.000-05:002006-09-19T18:51:00.000-05:00Sorry- I meant- "a difficult time"!Sorry- I meant- "a difficult time"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-20867853258358366252006-09-19T18:50:00.000-05:002006-09-19T18:50:00.000-05:00I love that picture!

I hope things get better soon for you!<br /><br />When my Dad was in the Marines, and he had the graveyard shift, my mom always turned it into a special treat! One of us, we'd rotate nights, would get to sleep in our parents big, comfy bed, with mom! I know it sounds so small and silly, but we all looked forward to it! And it kept my mom company I'm sure!<br /><br />Enjoy House tonight!

Sweeten to taste. With honey would help your throat and fill you up with Vitamin C.<br /><br />Shift work is a bummer. Hope things settle real quick for you.

I wished I lived beside you and then I would make for supper what you are making for supper and my husband would love me WAY MORE! Plus we watch the same TV shows. You always seem to want to make the most out of your day - I admire that about people. I'm not very good at that.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827969320194972923noreply@blogger.com
