Besides work, my only recent craft work has been three clay gnomes I made and painted. That's it. Well, and last week Abbie colored my hair by adding some fall streaks of brown and burgundy with my blonde which gave it a little oomph and covered the grays.
On Thanksgiving we spent the day at Manny's daughter Monica's house. Tons of food, great people, and no cooking for me! Tonight made lasagna then went out to the garage to scope out Christmas decor. Dug out the tree and a couple of boxes but decided to wait until tomorrow to begin prepping for December 25.
One of my latest dietary accomplishments was figuring out a healthier version of my favorite Country Folks Deli veggie sandwich. The ingredients are so good but the bread is a bit overwhelming. Hmmm what to do? Assembled sliced cucumber spread with a mix of cream cheese and Dijon coarse mustard, added clover sprouts, Havarti cheese circle, slice of Roma tomato, chunk of avocado then stabbed it all with a toothpick. It was perfect!! Tasted just like the sandwich. Forgot the red onion but I'll add that next time to give it extra oomph. 😋
Tomorrow morning I'm meeting Lynn's son at her condo to go through some items, mainly her clothes which she had gifted me. That girl had style! It's going to be weird to be back in her place without her there.
It's rough during the holiday season. Mom, Dad, and Grammie all passed in December, Lynn now gone, the weather is dark, gray and rainy. Hopefully adding the Christmas decor will boost my spirits.
Goodbye November and hello December! Is it 2023 yet?
