home sweet home

Its good to get away long enough to be happy to be home. Missed our first flight but finally got home last night. I slept 12 hrs. and feel pretty good. I feel like doing some cleaning so instead of telling you alot of what I'd like too I think I better jump on the clean thing !! Jims at work and I'v sorted through all my little trinkets I brought home for everyone and unpacked, thats a miracle in itself. And I'v got a pork roast on so I can make pork and dressing sandwitches for dinner.(my favorite thing in England)Lia and the fam are coming over today and I think I'll pop a pumpkin cake in also!
I need to go to England more often....cooking and cleaning...its just not like me!

    We left Edinbough at 5:00 a.m. on the dot knowing that'd give us plenty of time. It took us quite awhile to get out of Scotland(very scenic) and then we hit some bad stop and go traffic for quite awhile.It somehow took us 10hrs. to get to London! So frustrating! We were just barely late.There were no other flights going out that day so we got a hotel room that cost more than all the hostels put together.But, it had a bathtub and tv which was lovely! Are you feeling better? Thanks for posting the pictures of Howards Castle your camara takes great pictures. take care

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
