Just a few...







...pictures from Christmas day and I think Saturday (?)... we are slowly recovering from The Virus which for us thankfully was only a bad cold. Still some congestion and fatigue.  

Earlier today I wrote...

"It's been a busy day! Grocery order received and put away, chicken soup being made....I was hoping to finish the soup for dinner but I am too tired, still recovering strength from being sick. Thankfully we have easy meals at the ready."

I got to start on a bit of my writing project again and that was a real exciting note to a busy day. 

Everything of course in life takes longer than one thinks and that's just the way of it. 

I used this recipe from this blog post to make the chicken broth itself (from a whole chicken) but to the soup we are eating now (and a bit I am freezing I added also: onion, carrot, garlic, ginger and did that all in a good few tbs of butter, simmered later with additional water and then the soup added to that and then a bunch of presliced fresh mushrooms to that.  It should be good.  I hope to add fresh lemon juice and zest also. 

I have a huge cleanup job in front of me from making this soup... 

I pray that God is merciful to us all and saves us!

I hope you get your energy back soon. It's hard to cope when you feel exhausted.

So glad to hear that you both are on the road to recovery.

I've been catching up with some of your posts, Elizabeth and I'm sorry to read you both have been sick over the holiday season. But glad to read you're both recovering from the virus. It seems all around us people are getting this latest strain. I'm trying to accept that we will probably have to take our turn with it eventually, though I'd love to avoid it if we can.
