The Bloat after Thanksgiving

Hello my friends
Many of you have written me privately and wondered where in the world I have been.
This month has whizzed by without my permission! Mercy, I never did like roller coasters and these past few months have certainly felt like a carnival ride!

My oldest son came home for the Thanksgiving Holiday with his gal of the past few years. It was our first time to meet her. Thanksgiving evening, they announced their
engagement. The only ones surprised was them! They were surprised that none of us on the Hill were surprised. I believe that these two are well suited for each other.

I know, I know. I keep telling y'all I am a LOUSY photographer. Hard to take pics when I am busy with everything else. No one else has shared their photos with me yet.

Luscious put the Christmas Tree up and we are still decorating it. All the real food has been consumed and what is left is the sordid stuff that leaves my thighs quivering. Choclate Pie,
Brownies, Sugar Cookies, Pumpkin Cheesecake and oh my goodness - Ableskievers. We only make them at holiday time because they are like potato chips - can't eat just one.

I am working on the uploads for the Humble Arts for December. Will check in tomorrow morning and give everyone the heads up. Here is a sneek peek of what I will be offering:

How cute! Love the dollies. Congrats to your son and you for gaining a new daughter! Ables....what? What in the world is this creation? Please share! I'll take apiece of pumpkin cheesecake please. Didn't know there was such a thing. Sounds yum! Thinking of you often and as always you are in my prayers! Blessings, Karen

Hia Blondie, congratulations to you re your son. Hubby and I didn't rush into marriage either. In fact we got the house and dog before that. :-) It seems to have worked. LOL

Hope your Mum is doing better.
