It is so cold and rainy that we are missing church this morning. At 88, and using a walker, Mom
decided not to "push" it!
So, I have a day to cook, and work on quilts and knitting~~~ back later with photos, if the sun comes out I get better photos....I'm listening to the divine Etta James..a sampler of her newest, comprehensive double CD...."The Essential Etta" is on Amazon. This would make a perfect Christmas gift!

That looks so good! I have a couple of ripe pears that I could use for this...and I need a salad day! It's cloudy here this morning but warm! I hope I can do some crafting today, too! Enjoy your day! ♥
Ohh yummm. Looks and sounds delicious. Now to buy a pear.
We are having sunny and chilly weather - we are off to the ocean to see if I can get some great photos of the migrating ducks.
A pear salad! How appropriate, and it sounds yummy.
I hope you get some sunshine later today. We have sun but it's very chilly here.
