Good Wednesday Morning, Friends!

How's your week going so far? Mine has been slow and steady, with minimal busyness, which has been great! 

Monday I had lunch with one of my oldest friends. We've know each other since our kids were in kindergarten. They are now about to be 27! Wow! How time flies! In fact, she is the one who made this adorable "paddle" when I had my first grandbaby. Isn't it so cute? I have it hanging in the kitchen, just in case I need to use it on one of them (*wink*wink).

Today I thought I would share some scenes from the kitchen...

Cornbread to go with last night's taco soup. My favorite is Jiffy cornbread. Still so perfectly priced and always sweet and delicious.

My handmade kitchen tea towel. Morgan did the stitching and it was in my Christmas gift basket

that all the kids made for me. I'm using it as a valance over the kitchen window and I love it!

Part of the vanilla cake that Addie and I made on Saturday.

It's been delicious and we ate the last two pieces last night for dessert.

I decided to drink my Vit C hot yesterday. Normally I drink

Emergen-C on ice, but hot tea sounded better.

With the ice coming this weekend, I'll probably

be drinking this a few more times.

One of my new pieces of cookware.

I had not bought cookware for so many years,

I can't even remember how long it's been. 

So...I splurged a little and bought two new pans for the new house.

As silly as it sounds, it's actually made cooking more enjoyable.

And a cute, little tower of Pioneer Woman measuring cups,a PW butter dish and a jar full of measuring spoons.I just can't resist all the colors and patterns.💛
Just before we moved back to the house,a friend asked me if I was going to continue decorating withall the colors and cottage style decorthat I've had for years.
My response..."I can't imagine doing anything different."
And it's the truth.It's my style.It's just who I am and what I like.
I need color and scenes and flowers and things that makeyou smile and feel happy and cozy. 
🏡
Today I will be going to the store for a few supplies,just in preparation for the winter weatherwe are expecting this weekend.
I have pictures to hang and otherthings I hope to work onover the next few days.
It's going to be a cold weekend!Hopefully the last hurrah beforewe start seeing spring-like sunshine.🌞
Well, I'm off to start my day.I hope you have a great one,my friend.

Until Next Time...
Blessings!
