I love the quietness of the morning. No one else is up and I can sip my coffee, catch up on the news and plan out my day. Now these are very loose plans when one is not working ! I've already started the beef broth for "our" soup. It is an old Scottish soup that has been passed down through my mother-in-law. The only turnips on sale this Christmas were huge, I didn't even cook it all. So today I"ll cook u p the rest of the turnip, carrots, onions and potatoes, mash them when soft and combine the beggie and beef broths. The first time I had this soup I didn't like it. Now my whole gamily loves it so that will be a treat for supper. Maybe some homemade rolls will complete the meal ! Anyway that is soup started already.
ED found a MC gift card that was due to expire at the end of the month so we set off to a large material store on the souothside. We picked up some leather to reupholster her dining room chairs. With a young child, she needs something she can just wipe . Then we went out for some Vietnamese food as a treat.
Needless to say I didn't want any supper although I made creamed turkey on toast with the last of the turkey.ED made up another batch of nuts and bolts which she shared with us.YS finally got stuck in and cleaned his room. [ Found out ES did the same !] He gathered up all his change and thanks to his sister p;icking up coin rolls, he rolled over $160 !! Now if only people could keep their rooms clean !!
I'm on my fifth pair of mitts. The slowest part of knitting them is making sure the wool is divided evenly between the two mitts so they match. Looks like I'll end up with pairs. Good, another load of wool gone !I've ten Christmas stockings made so if I have a few orders, I've already got some in reserve.
Today I'd like to tackle the living room and put the slipcovers back on. I'd like YS to move the stove and fridge out so I can wash the floors under and behind them. Lots of little jobs to do !
I wore one of my 'new' tops from VV and it was very comfortable. I now have 6 new tops for school for the new year ! Yahoo !! Some day I must pop into Winners and see if I can find a new coat. I think I have had this coat for 15 years and it is beginning to look worn. If I could find an identical coat I'd be thrilled !
Time for a shower ! then I can swish the bathroom. Tick off another job !
