Our winter weekend

The pleasant highlights of the past weekend...

* Family game night on Friday, by the fire, with fish sticks

* Early outing to a church sale (coming home with books, electric blankets, and a Paul Revere kettle for the heater)

* Clearance ground beef... and hamburgers for lunch. And, lots of browned ground beef for the freezer... all recipe-ready!

* Afternoon sunshine and time to spend on the sofa with some preliminary garden plans

* Saturday evening by the fire with needlepoint and the beginning of our annual February Bleak House marathon

* Sunday afternoon reading time (Robinson Crusoe) in my chair with a soft wool blanket

* Sunday supper of toast "soldiers" and soft-boiled eggs... in egg cups... with little egg "cozies" on the spares to keep them warm :)

* And, a little more needlepoint, a little more Bleak House, and a hot cup of tea with cream


~ Thank you for the blessings, Lord. ~
...the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Sounds so lovely. Fishsticks and game night! My kids might love that, but I might have to switch it to chicken fingers. :)
