Just Because January

 The fires are still going strong in So. California, and the Palisade fire is 14% contained.  The Santa Ana winds have come, and the region continues to battle these blazing fires.  Thank you all for your prayers. 🙏  

My brother-in-law was in town for a dental appt., and he stopped by to visit for a while.  I always love when he comes by, and this time he brought me an apple pie.  When he first got here in the morning, I made him some Polish sausage and eggs and coffee.  I sauteed the onions first, and scrambled the eggs.  He enjoyed the breakfast so much.

Another day, I made some biscuits with butter and honey.



I had some ham leftover, so I made a potato and ham dish with bell peppers and seasonings.



Jess loved the red coat I got Charlotte, and she looks so warm and cozy wearing it.

A few things I am looking forward to.....the fundraiser dinner in my hometown coming up.  I will see all my family then.  And we will celebrate my birthday that weekend too.  It's a big one, that's all I'll say about that. ; )

I had a long talk with my sister one day on the phone.  It was good catching up with her.

Like many of you, I've been going through things and de-cluttering and sorting to give away or keep.  So far, I've given away 7 boxes and bags, and it does feel good to clear out some of this and that.  I guess we are all thinking the same thing in January.

Have a beautiful January week.  It's supposed to be sunny this month, but then, we're expected some rain and snow in February.

The fires are so scary. Our prayers continue. Your biscuits look really good and the red coat for Charlotte is so pretty. I'm sure she looks adorable in it. It seems no matter how much I de-clutter, I seem to accumulate more stuff.

Charlotte would look adorable in anything! Too cute. I remember you sharing about your hometown fundraiser before. How nice it falls on your birthday, too! You’ll be able to see everybody - like a big birthday party. It really sounds like fun.
I can’t imagine your “number” is as big as mine.
Anyway always good to hear from you - been thinking about Nel and Jess and their families. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great, it is 10:00 at night and looking at your food has made me hungry. Those eggs and polish sausage looks delicious!

The facts about the fires are shocking, how they started, how they got out, how they are still burning, how lives were lost... we continue our prayers, what a shame!!
Everything you made for your guest looks very delicious.
The best thing is that it gives away things! Very nice to see your family!! Have a great week, I hope they put out the fires!!

Little Charlotte is adorable in that red coat. Well done, Grandma! We are still praying for So. California, and watching the devastation on the news. It is truly shocking. Your cooking always looks so good. Honey butter biscuits - YUM. What a spectacular bird photo. Brilliant.

Sheri...we are continuing to pray for the people in Southern Ca. I just cannot imagine all that has been loss. very devastating for so many. I think I'll come your way for some good meals like this. Little Charlotte is so cute in her new red coat. She is always so happy. My post today is about the 14 boxes of items that I took to Hanger of Hope. It feels really good to get rid of items that have just been collecting dust. Love the gorgeous blue bird. the perfect picture for a nice January day. Happy Early Birthday...I am excited for you to get to celebrate with family. Pictures will be a must show of when you all get together. Happy Tuesday.
