November List


So much to do...
Running here...
Running there...
Cleaning...
Decorating for Thanksgiving...
Planning the menu...
Finding the perfect turkey...smoked...twice...drizzled in honey.
Baked to perfection.
Finding the perfect ham...smoked...twice...drizzled in honey.
Baked to perfection.
Sweeping, sweeping, sweeping the porch every time the dogs go out.
I decided if I sweep the porch, the walk and part of the drive,
each time I am out with the three fur babies,
I can stay ahead of the leaves...
If not, just make a wreath.
Yes, a big fat wreath of leaves!


And always remember to be thankful...

As we move into the holiday season,
here are some thoughts from the country house...

Home should be a haven of peace and joy.
Laughter.
Good food.
Family.
Love.
Kindness.
Encouragement.
Gentle speech.
Serving and helping one another.
Respect.
Home must nurture mind, body and spirit...

I want our old country house to be a gathering place...
A place filled with love,
and a place where great memories are made.

Blessings
Yaya
