Get Well Baby Boy..

Our sweet cat Austin has been having recurrent UTI issues. I've changed his food but it hasn't been enough. He had an actual blockage yesterday but they were able to clear it. So now he is at home resting but still in a lot of pain. I'm going to do more research to see what I can do to prevent this. Poor sweet boy...

Bookmark

I'm disappointed in the pics of this bookmark. It actually is really cool, the pics just don't do it justice. Oh well I need to become a better photographer.

Me...

Ok this is a really terrible pic of me. Not sure why I'm posting it but I just don't have any recent pics of myself. I obviously don't know how to take a pic of myself.

More Camellias...

We picked some more camellias the other weekend. They are so beautiful!

Christmas Post...

I wanted to get a few Christmas pics up. I made a few gift bags for our neighbors with fig preserves, gingersnaps & biscotti. I also gave gift bags of the same to our family but I didn't get a pic of those. The fig preserves I made myself from the lovely crop of figs we get from our trees. This I think was my 4th time making them & I believe my best batch. Figs I think are an acquired taste. They are a beautiful yet strange fruit. I didn't really like them before or ever really had them before moving here. But my husband has always loved them. I've enjoyed getting to know figs the past few years.
I did a lot of baking again this year. Last year I was too depressed about Georgia's food allergies to do much baking. I mainly made gingersnaps & a cinnamon, pecan biscotti with chocolate drizzled on top. That biscotti is amazing! And it's actually easy too. I'm wanting to make some more right now! I didn't do the spiced pecans. Just didn't have time to shell all those pecans which I've been working on slowly. Oh well. We had a great crop of pecans this past year but we probably won't get any this fall. They seem to produce every other year. That's what the freezer is for right?!

Friday Musings...

*note to self~must change camera so date is not printed on pic~

One of the 2 lovely handmade mugs I received from my mother in law for Christmas! I'm really in love with it. The color, texture & how the artist even supplied a place to rest your thumb. How thoughtful...

I have Christmas pics I want to put up. Yes it's the end of January but I don't care. My computer/camera has been giving me trouble so I've had a hard time uploading pics.

Here I sit at the computer while my sweet babe naps. I need to be cleaning...oh yes I do. But it's Friday & I feel like having a break. Told my hubby he needs to bring home a bottle of wine for mama tonight!

There has been so much going on in this New Year. But my cousin Laura & I have been able to have a little escape lately by walking down memory lane. We've gotten in touch with some old friends that we haven't talked to in 10+ years. So it just makes all the memories of the old days come flooding back. It's been fun talking & gossiping (hehe) We've even admitted having highschool crushes on one friend. It's so funny! What does he think about these crazy old married ladies coming out of the woodwork admitting these crushes? But Laura & I don't care we are happily married wives & mothers so I guess it feels safe to admit such things that were so long ago! She wrote a great post about it on her blog. Her writing is so beautiful ~ http://drumcircledeva.blogspot.com/2008/01/memories.html

I miss you...

Blog I miss you! I need you more than ever just need to find, well make the time! Hope to return soon. I have so much going on & so much going on in my head need to release it. I'm excited about this New Year! It started a little shaky but I'm hoping things will turn around. I know it will be a year of changes & I don't do well with change. So I am trying to prepare myself for whatever may come.
