A couple weeks ago I decided to start baking bread for the house rather than purchasing it. I had a couple failures which were disappointing, but then … this happened! And my oh my was it delicious! It was dinner AND a midnight snack … haha … I woke the next morning to discover half of one loaf gone! Yum.

Today I tried a new recipe. Going to see my father this afternoon and take him a loaf of fresh bread and a jar of peach marmalade I canned last year.

My first attempt at Challah bread. Need to work on my braiding skills. Smells fantastic!

The house smells wonderful! Once this cools a bit I’ll wrap it a go to dads. Hopefully it will stay warm for his enjoyment.

The chimney sweep was here today so my fireplace is all prepared to get “lit”. My father is giving me some nice firewood today so tonight it’s going to be all cozy in here!

Laundry is nearly done.

A nice bath will be happening later with magnesium flake and essential oils.

Aaaaahhhh … the sweet life!

Thank you Creator for blessing me with this day. I am thoroughly enjoying myself.

((((Hugs)))) friends. Be well. We’ll all get through these times. Let us be certain we do it in a good way.
