Happy Thanksgiving!

We will be driving (12 hour trip) to see Rich’s kids and parents for the holidays. And I’ll be able to travel up to see my 2 sons, grandson and an old friend from where I used to live. The weather up there will be into the 20’s during the night time and chance of snow flurries during the day on Thursday! YAY!!! I pray for snow…

So Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!!

Eat, drink and be merry!

The egg noodles are drying…I love making these.
It is an old Amish recipe:

• 1 cup bread flour
• 3/4 tea. salt
• 1 egg
• 1 T. veg. oil
• 3 T. water

extra flour for dusting and rolling.

*Mix dry ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry mix and pour the remaining ingredients. Mix all together.
Cut the dough in half and roll out. Roll up into jelly rolls and cut into slices. Unroll the slices and lay to dry. Let dry until almost hard and you can cook right away or freeze any extras.

Here are some photos of the finished scarves.

Third scarf finished

I tried taking photos of the finished scarf but the lighting isn’t very good tonight so I will get some in the day light tomorrow. This scarf is a little differnet and I like it best…because I embroidered a little lazy daisy design on the circles and attatched the squares with a neater stitch.

Time to get ready for bed. It is only 9pm ish and it feels so much later. Due to the time change from yesterday I suppose.

Night…zzzz

new scarf

<–I just finished putting this scarf together. Again it is made from old woolen sweaters and wool and cotton yarns.

There is enough material left to make one more scarf.

This week I have mostly off! Yay.

The weather is fantastic so I’m looking forward to doing some yoga outside on the deck. And taking the sewing out doors!

more later…feeling blessed!

This was the very first tomatoe of the season.

Now they are finished. Some green ones are left and even some blossoms are hanging on. Fried green tomatoes sure sound good!

What a gorgeous day! I worked an honest days work and think I’ll take Richie out for dinner or order carry out. Yes, still eating vegan and try to incorporate as much raw food into my meals as possible. Today this is what I ate:

Breakfast:
smoothie with 2 apples, 1 cup of blueberries and filtered water and 1 T. raw almond butter.

Snack:
Square of 85% cacao chocolate bar.

Lunch:
salad of 1 avocado, 1 cucumber with half a lemon’s juice and a little olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

So dinner can be something cooked. I’m not real strict on this way of eating but I do like to keep it fresh and raw mostly because it makes my body feel better!

This site is pretty cool…you can make your own postage stamps with personal photos. And there is a free download for Macs. The cost is outrageous, however, about double the regular cost of a stamp. I’m thinking about making some for my son with my grandson’s photo on them.
