Autumn has come and gone
The tree in the front yard is bare
Bill traveled to Florida for a week to spend time with his family. He had the opportunity to see friends and celebrate Thanksgiving with extended family as well.
Roxie and I had quiet time at home after work!
We were both happy to see him when he returned home – Roxie the dog was literally happy dancing to have her honey back!
Although we give thanks every day,
the Thanksgiving holiday was observed.
Bill was in Florida visiting family, so I took the opportunity to shop in the morning and relax in the afternoon for a bit…
But a big snowstorm came so it was my turn to get out the snow blower for the first time of the season
Ugh!
Friday night I baked his birthday cake while he was on his way home.
and then…
Saturday – after a plane ride,
we cooked our feast!
Today I am baking again…
a holiday favorite of mine!
The dough is mixed and rising…
I’ll post the recipe and pictures later
but here’s a clue…
Can you guess what it is?
XO Lisa ❤️
Grateful, Thankful, and Mending! 
Lisa, thanks for sharing your happenings. I was thinking of you when I saw snow in the forecast for northwestern Ohio. We’ve had nothing down here. Blessings to you and Bill during this special season.
