Saturday....

Not much going on here today. I have to admit, I was feeling a bit grouchy this morning. I woke up with a stiff neck and a headache and I am tired of looking at snow and being so cold. But, after a nice neck massage from my husband and some 8 hour Tylenol, a time to just close my eyes and rest I am feeling much better now.

We have sunshine today! It has been quite a while since we have had pretty blue skies and sunshine. When I look out the window and up into the tall oak trees that surround us I can see smooth ice shining on the trunks and branches. It is very pretty. As a gentle wind blows they almost sparkle. It actually makes all the snow look better. The best thing about today is...there are no storm warnings. Luckily, we didn't get as much snow as they had been saying...which is fine with me. As you can tell, I am not a winter person at all and am content to just stay in and stay warm.

For today...I had some brown banana's on my counter so I whipped up a batch of banana bread which is baking and making my house smell good. On the menu tonight, more comfort food. Baked Macaroni and Cheese.

Stay warm,
Joyce

    We've actually had sun today too and it's up to a balmy 42 degrees!

  2. I bet that banana bread tastes so good! I can just taste it now. Baked mac & cheese sounds good too. I'm starving!
    When we had snow, the sun made it sparkle in the trees like diamonds. It was so pretty and left so fast. I'm sorry that you had neck problems. That was sweet of Dennis to give you a neck massage. I know that felt great.

    Have a great weekend! Trying to stay warm too!

  3. Sounds like you have the comfort food thing down!!!!!
    It was good to see the sunshine today. Gonna be cold cold again tonight. I must say, come January/February I get a little out of sorts at times,just from the mere 'coldness' of it all.
    Here is the link, I hope it works. It is easy to knit up if you use a bulky yarn..wool is my fav.

  4. Hi,
    Our grey Michigan winter days get me down too, but I am thankful for the glorious sunshine when it comes! & you are right that when it shines on the snow it is so beautiful!
    I hope you enjoyed your banana bread and mac/cheese! Yum!

  5. I hope you're feeling even better today! Mmmmm, I love banana bread!

    I had a very similar situation in our family. It's just sad the way some people talk about those they are supposed to love!

  6. Hi Joyce Marie, hope you're feeling okay; I've got the flu bug myself and am drinking some meds to help me feel much better. God bless and take care! =)
