The cold wind may be blowing outside … but hot tea … and a favorite movie … makes it cozy … at work.
When your kids are home at the same time and you play cards at midnight … have to grab onto the times when they come…

A good book and plenty of time to read it! Hugs. A warm spring day when we can open the windows and smell the fresh air. The delightful sound of a child’s giggle. Tacos. A glass of wine at the end of a long day. Friends.

What movie were you watching with your tea?
I was watching an old episode of Cheers the other day when they made fun of someone saying he would be sitting at home eating peanut butter out of a jar. “hey… that’s what I do.” I love eating peanut butter out of a jar with a spoon (of course). Who wants to waste time with putting it in a sandwich?

Sound of Music, its my favorite musical. Just was able to see half of it but thats ok. I know how it ends. 🙂
LOL about the peanut butter. Peanut butter is good and I really shouldn’t tell you how I eat peanut butter. It doesn’t help my “Sweetaholics case” but you made me hungry now.

You stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Now that may not be a bad idea. I think you should try it. But no, I am not that bad.
The way to eat peanut butter is with a knife, spread it on a chocolate 🍫 bar. But in my defenseI I spread it on bananas at times too.

Are your daughter’s seeing it with you? I am sure it will be good, though his voice won’t be exactly the same. He has a little age on him. But I have been surprised how well some older singers still sound.

A bowl of chicken soup at my desk seemed just right for lunch today. Even better that my husband was sitting across the room keeping me company. Because of the pandemic, he has been able to work from home for the first time in his career, and he has been much more relaxed for the past two years. 🙂

We play a lot of rummy, kings in the corner (4 kings), and cribbage. We only have one son, but since he lives more than 1,000 miles away, we don’t get to see him much. He got engaged over Thanksgiving, and I look forward to having a daughter-in-law and possibly some grandkids (no pressure 😂). We still have a bit of waiting because they aren’t getting married until June 2023.
