Merry Christmas - 2023

December 23, 2023

 

Hello friends.


I can't believe how fast the month flew by for me.  It was a busy month since I had my trip to London with my daughter at the end of last month.  When I got back from my trip I was dealing with jet lag and then I was busy decorating the house and the tree for Christmas.  I had Christmas cards to write, and Christmas shopping to do.  I am still wrapping presents as I write this blog post.



We have a new Christmas ornament to add to our tree this year.  My daughter and I picked out this London taxi cab ornament when we visited London last month. 

When I get back to blogging after the new year, I will share my London trip with you. 




Wishing all of my blogging friends a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.  I appreciate all of your kind words, comments, and support over the years.




HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!  

See you all in the new year!

Life Lately - December 2023

December 8, 2023

 

Hello friends.  Happy December. 🌲


Some of you may have noticed I've been missing from my blog for a few weeks.  I thought I would do a catch-up of what's been going on in my life. 



November was a busy month for me because I hosted Thanksgiving this year.  I was busy cleaning the house, planning the menu, food shopping, and cooking Thanksgiving dinner.  Thanksgiving was a big hit in spite of us losing our water heater.  It broke down early in the morning and we had to clean up a big mess in the basement.  I managed everything without having any hot water.  We couldn't get the plumber to come until Saturday morning.  I was so thankful to have hot water again.

We had over my brother and sister-in-law and their four kids.


My daughter made this beautiful charcuterie board.


I made some of the food shown here.  My sister-in-law made a lot of food and we had a lot of food leftover for a few days.  We had a meat and cheese charcuterie board, Italian bread, prosciutto bread, turkey, roast beef, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, corn, cranberry sauce, and stuffed mushrooms.  We had apple crumble pie, pastries, chocolate pie, and chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert.


We were also dog-sitting Darcy and Watson for a few days for Thanksgiving weekend.  My daughter usually watches the dogs at the owner's house.  We had a great time with the dogs and it made me miss having a dog. 



On November 26, 2022, Bosco passed away.  I can't believe it's already been a year and we miss Bosco so much. 


In case some of you don't know, I took a trip with my daughter to London.  We left late Wednesday night 11/29/23 and arrived in London on Thursday morning of 11/30/23.  We arrived back home late Sunday night 12/3/23.  It was a quick vacation and I had a great time with my daughter in London.  I hope to share more about the trip when things settle down for me, so stay tuned.

   NOTE:  I'm also sharing in my Instagram stories @brklynhousewife about my London trip.
