No soggy bottoms

Hubby finished his baking today

We have the food we require
 In the garden again
buds on the Magnolia tree
 Plus more flowers

It's been a busy week but filled with nice things. On Monday we all met up at a local out of town shopping center, loads of easy free parking. I took both daughters to Pandora and got them to choose a gift, it's a reminder of my brother who passed away late summer, when the girls were young he would come and visit and play games with them, he was also great as a babysitter. One had earings and the other a ring, I did think they would get charms for their bracelets, hubby has tried to get me to have a bracelet, but they are not my style.
We sat all 10 of us in a coffee shop for over an hour, chatting, Sam was very amusing, he was captain of a rocket, and we had to put on our space suits and seat belts.
Yesterday was a quiet night in together, I worked a bit later so I can finish early tomorrow, so we sat and watched a bit of TV. I have done more stitching, photo's next time.
Tonight I have one last job, after tea, I will give the kitchen an going over with my steamer, it makes every where so clean without cleaning products.
Tomorrow I finish work at 1pm, we will have Sam and Josh for the afternoon, they will have their presents from us to open, it's a tradition we have done for a few years. Later we are going out for a curry with both daughters and partners, I am driving so no drink for me, which I don't mind.
So here we are sliding into a Happy Christmas, I hope each of you spend time with those you love and your Christmas is happy, merry and bright. xx

  1. I've enjoyed a lovely catch up read here Marlene.
    Did you find out who left you the lovely white cyclamen plant, or is it still a secret gift?
    DH and I were lucky enough to be invited to the school nativity, such a precious time, they grow so quickly.
    Your diamond stitching is looking super, I do enjoy seeing this grow.
    Sending Christmas Blessings to you and the family, have a wonderful time. x

  2. Gosh flowers on the tree already?? Baking looks lovely. What a lovely thought about Pandora - I have the Pandora bangle which I love but no charms as yet and only want one on it. I sold my bracelet!! I can picture you all sat together chatting and laughing. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas xx

  5. Eleanor has a Pandora bracelet, I think the charms you can get to remind you of different events is such a lovely idea. I'd quite like a bracelet myself but my wedding, engagement and eternity rings are gold and I don't like mixing silver with them. Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas.

  6. Thank you for the BEAUTIFUL Christmas Card.

    I was bad this year . . well, not really. We planned on doing our cards like normal, during the Thanksgiving Holiday the end of November. When I went to look for the cards, they were packed away and I have no idea what box they are in. So, I guess we will do Christmas Cards whenever we get moved and find the right box.

    Hope yours was happy. Ours was good . . perfect enough to warm my heart and last there for several days.
