It is the day before thanksgiving

I started my day early to get a jump start on bread making. I used grammas trusty recipe and made 3 loaves of bread and 2 dozen cinnamon rolls. They turned out beautiful. 

We put the extra leaves in the table so we could fit everyone 

We also fit in a haircut for this handsome guy. He was getting shaggy. 

Mmm!! Look at the yummy bread!

Bryce brought up more wood so we could have a fire going during these chilly days 

He had been waiting so long for some homemade fresh from the oven bread:) 

I can't wait to dig into these!

Also took time to make a peach pie fir dessert 

Fancy table for the guests:)

We are really excited to be hosting family for thanksgiving . We are very blessed!

Have a great thanksgiving everyone!

Interesting article

This has been on both msn and yahoos web pages this week and I thought it rather interesting for a worldly news site to post it

Mondays

Today is a Monday. I don't always do well on Mondays. I admit it. The freedom and major accomplishments and relaxing of the weekend make it difficult for me to have the motivation to get up and resume work for the week. 

This morning was such a morning. I did pretty good about getting up,exercising, getting ready and eating breakfast. And then walking out the door of my home and then stepping into the work mindset put me in a cloudy mood. When I got to work it didn't improve either. Frustrating scenarios came up, things I couldn't fix. I wasn't wanting to be a help to anyone. I sent a note to my husband basically saying this stinks. I'm not happy :( 

And from him, I get back an encouraging email. Checking in on me. Seeing how the day was. Saying he loved me. Saying it will all be ok.... I just wanted to cry. He gives me so much grace. I am very blessed. I am very humbled
