Today I was really grateful that I can walk again,
that I was able to go to NYC yesterday.
Playing that Chess game was a highlight for me,
just something fun and spontaneous with my Husband.
Today was house cleaning day;
bed linens changed, laundry done and put away; floors mopped;
tomorrow I hope to get the bathroom sinks washed.
Mr Husband, valiantly, helped.
I baked pre-prepared shrimp and we had a salad;
for dinner salad and baked potato for Mr Husband,
salad and then oatmeal with raisins and honey for me.
After I came home from PT (so glad for this help),
I baked pre-made vegan organic cinnamon rolls,
joking that organic sugar must surely be good for you ;)
It's nice to have a treat with my Husband; we don't actually do so
that much, usually.
I've been having fun picking out different teacups.
I am glad for today.
We are still in the midst of the hard, but have a bit of
breathing room at present.
Trying to just be where I am today and try to trust God.
I've been able to do a bit of reading in our library
and that is a blessing.
It's going to take time to get one's life back after
the year we have had;
it's still not sewing time, though I did fix an
unexpected hole in a long black shirt/skirt/tunic that I have
(it was thrifted) and my Husband commented that I may want to
have something over it to cover up my bad fix job (it bunched).
I find this funny and am not worried about it over all.
I prepared a pasta sauce for the slow cooker tonight
and hope to make it tomorrow.
I hope to freeze some of it and am so glad I got to make this;
it's a lovely sauce;
I still can't find Italian Plum tomatoes with juice
(not a purred sauce) so we will see how this ends up...
I know last time I was disappointed, I hope for better this time....
Hi Elizabeth, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed your outing and are getting along well. I love reading your post as I get to see all your lovely dishes. I think today I spy Wedgewood Wild Strawberries (I have a teacup and saucer in this pattern), Royal Albert Country Roses( I just ordered a Royal Albert Silver Birch teacup from Canada), and your lovely blue onion plate. It looks like we both have a passion for dishes! Thank you for sharing the tomato sauce recipe. It looks great. Enjoy your weekend dear friend. Pat xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you have started cooking and baking again. It takes longer than we think to put our lives in order, isn't it? However, we have help and hope!
ReplyDeleteI love your blue and white dishes!
ReplyDeleteAre canned tomatoes not Italian paste tomatoes down there? I know when I get a can of whole tomatoes they are paste tomato shape and fairly meaty.
