Good morning, welcome.
Come on in out of the cold, it is freezing out there. We are under a freeze watch and currently experiencing 27 degree weather. Like I said last week, from summer straight to winter, oh Texas!
I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and I wish you all a great Veteran's Day on Tuesday.
I have to do a shopping run to Winco this morning for some items and will probably go ahead and grab most of my Thanksgiving ingredients too. By the way if you have a Winco nearby, from the 19th of November to the 26th, with every $125 you spend, you get a free Turkey. Not a bad deal at all!
Right, now let's get going with our day.
Have a blessed week my friends ♥

The blanket is stunning. We're in a freeze watch here too. They're saying we may even see snow tonight. I'm so not ready for that yet. I lvoe the new blog graphics. What do you use to create them? Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteGarlic Spaghetti sounds good. I'm on a mission to try new crockpot recipes over then next two months or so.
ReplyDeleteI now have a craving for a cinnamon raisin bagel and cream cheese! I ALMOST bought cinnamon raisin bread at the grocery store yesterday, but talked myself out of it. I guess I should listened to my gut!
ReplyDeleteWe did the straight from summer to winter thing this year too and it's hard on the system and the menu! I hope you find something yummy at Winco for lunch. Ours has a nice selection of sammies and such.
Have a WONDERFUL week my friend.
Oh my - now you're getting temps like here up north! I bet you're loving the cozy time though. :) Thanks for your prayers and support - the surgery went well and they got all the cancer with one shave of the Mohs surgery. Just quite a bit of healing now (took lots of stitches - right on the front of my face - so fun). I hope you stay cozy. I'm thinking all things holidays and figuring out our lists and grocery shopping too. :) Blessings. xo
ReplyDeleteDear Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with your blanket and feeling ... proud reading your menu filled with Italian recipes!

I'm sending blessings and love from across the ocean
