Planning the next adventure

We are thinking we will go to Nimrod mid January for a weekend. Cleo, Aoife and the humans - should be a good time. It is a beautiful lake in the central area of Arkansas, not too busy. No towns close so better have all the stuff we need. We drive to Jesseville (about 40 miles) for some of the best ice cream in the state. Can't wait!

Merry Christmas

2 coconut, 2 chocolate and a pumpkin pie - Yummy. Next is New Year's day and then back to the normal routine. I will be making Hoppin John so I get my dose of black eyed peas. It is a really great dish.
So good to spend the holiday season with family, it is what makes it special.

Christmas

Well 4 days until Christmas, still no tree up. Think I will miss this year, need a small table top that is easy to put up. No time to enjoy the season with work. Hopefully by June we will have all the Sisters of Mercy hospitals installed. Maybe things will slow down somewhat.

Weekends

Why are weekends filled with laundry, grocery shopping and cleaning? I need a self cleaning house!
