How do I even describe the last 2 days?

These last days, busy and in need of a good nap. 

I was struggling. 

Better now.

We finally got a 'dummy' light switch so that I could have the delft double light switch

put up and it got broken in the process.

Super bummer and I was over tired and was so SAD about it but am better now

and trying to find an intact replacement, while accepting the one that is up

though cracked.... 

I have emailed three possible places for these, knowing that most places are

out of stock with them.

We went to a toy soldier show but it was small and I was tired and so

I read and napped in the car....

We finished listening to the Hobbit and the Silmarillion my beloved Husband 

just found on Audible and it will be DV a future listen for us!

So do you like my cute new wooden bird shawl pin that Ginny's Husband Jonny makes?

I love it and wore it to church tonight already! 

It was a blessing to go to vespers.

We went out to eat afterwards.

So the wonderful shortbread, caramel and chocolate bites did not work as well

as I was hoping..... but hopefully not disliked by those I will give them too,

well wrapped to prevent sticky situations, literally!

I already have a plan for doing this again DV ...

Here's the plan:

I will use caramel and evaporated milk melted, only half as much as I use in turtle bars (1 bag only of caramels) bake the shortbread in a 9x13 glass pan and use the same amount of chocolate or a bit more, i.e at least 250g. My Husband saved the day on these by suggesting that I put them in the refrigerator so that they could better solidify. The first bit I had out broke in ways that made these pictures look nearly impressive. 

However, I am wondering if I should just melt the caramel and forget the 

evaporated milk...as I think this keeps it a bit less solidified. 

Well.

I better go to bed.

We are staying local tomorrow for church.

I have to go to NYC on Monday.

My house is a mess.

I have 6 coming for Thanksgiving Thursday.

Thank Goodness that most of the food is coming already prepared.

Here's what I have to do:

Monday - NYC  for much of the day + possible cleaning

Tuesday - clean, clean, clean + set up table, put away sewing table

Wednesday - clean, make yam + cranberry dish, set up 2 tables with full table settings etc.

Thursday - get the meal delivered and heat up everything and have Thanksgiving

dinner in early afternoon with friends!
