Thursday - a very good day - cold and sunny

I believe I interviewed well today.
I am thankful to God.
*
Got word of the other interview that I was promised!
Will be early afternoon Feb 1st.
So I have time to prepare.
*
I will not hear back from the interview I had today
until after this time
so that is good.

I had one of my dear friends over for a special

post-Theophany Feast.

(Notice that Cleo the Cat joined us!)

On the menu:

slow cooker beef roast with carrots, 1 small onion,

1 can of cream of mushroom soup,

1 can water (did not need so much water)

garlic slices in pierced meat with oil salt and pepper

good douse of Worcestershire sauce.

It made a great gravy...

(Thanks to Sarah for her suggestions on preparing this!)

Also on tonight's menu:

baked potato, bread

good deep red wine, water and

a chocolate chai decaf tea for dessert

with grapes to nibble on

and a lovely toffee chocolate bar that we never

got around to eating

for virtue of being full from the dinner!

The table cloth is from my Grandmother
who found it at a mission thrift shop where she
volunteers
(at 80 years old no less!)
*
The dishes are also from my Grandmother.
*
I thank God for this day
and that I have another interivew for an Ottawa job
and that I had one also today!
*
Thank you all for your prayers!
They were really helpful!
*
Thank God!!

  6. Thank you all! Thanks V for the prayers, everyone for the loving of my dinner table, ...

    Marfa - I have walked on the Rideau Canal but I have not skated in years! Terrible eh?!!! I should post a picture of others skating on it for you... I live a ten minute or less walk from it though! Really nice... my favourite tree is very near to the canal... Yeah, I do want to stay here... it is no surprise that you can tell!! :)

    MJ- thank you for your love and prayers!
