Eight Days Away~ Oui...

Today was -7 F  when we got up..now it is 5 F.
Very unusual for December.
Lovely snow cover but cold.

However watching the news re California..

we have NOTHING to complain about weather wise.

I bought ear muffs yesterday that heat up..

one caveat..for kids..

so they cover half my ears..
still..better half than nothing..

I'll show them to you:)

I did not leave the house today apart from putting some things in the freezer..(screened in porch)..

I started preparing the cake I will serve Christmas eve..

and I was into my ears in dough..

and cleaning up..

I still want a clean up Elf..

Jacques is my tech husband of almost 44 yrs..

he bought Alexa..

She is great for weather and music..

"Alexa..play Christmas music by Manheim Steamroller"~ done..

Ditto..Michael Buble..

Ditto..Bing Crosby..

Ditto..Rosemary Clooney.."

Alexa..great job!

So.."Alexa.. clean up my kitchen.."

?????????????

Obviously..she is Jacques':)


Things that make me smile..

the music..

the baking..

the movie WONDER that we saw yesterday w/ Noah and Mylène..see it if you can..

Julia is Julia..Jacques said..:" Elle est telllement belle.." he rarely says that..ok Catherine..Audrey..

but day to day..rarely..she is beautiful and so natural in this movie.

I bawled more than 5 times..and I had read the book..
ok..and Jacques shed tears..that says it all.


Receiving Paris Maps/Letters..look at Carol's work in our tree:)♥

Some cards..I pop in our tree:) Too precious to not see..during the holiday season.

Tellement de bonnes choses ..allez..dégustez..rincez-vous l'oeil♥
Ses aquarelles sont absolument charmantes,des coups de coeur...

I had an appointment 2 nights ago..had not driven in the dark alone in years..popped by Urban Barn..
to have made it worth my while..  and that camper jumped nto my hands..and the salesgirl?I could have brought her home..
I told her manager.
25..polite ..adorable..charming..♥

Oh and Strawberry Shortcake?

I made that ornament ..in the 70's:)or early 80's for a craft sale to pay for my real estate course:)

So glad I kept ONE..salt dough lol..:)

I loved the whole line..and Trolls..and Mon Chichi and Cabbage Patch kids and Barbies for my girls~:)


And..  I know I'll come back before 8 days  ..

but I just want you to know..that I love my cyber friendships..

you have no idea how much.

Thank You.
