I am back and lucky for me it is Friday!
I am feeling much better today, nothing that a few days of bed rest, at least 4 boxes of Kleenex, copious amounts of vitamin C and numerous cups of cocoa cannot cure or at least make being sick a little easier.
Do you have plans for the weekend? I am waiting to watch Downtown Abby on Sunday and probably going to go to a library book sale on Saturday. Can one ever have enough books?
I am also going to do a little baking, as I have lots of ingredients from Christmas to use up. I think I will make a Chocolate Bread pudding with 3 kinds of chocolate and a panettone.
It sounds good but I think I will reserve judgement until I try it out. I will let you know!
What are your plans for the weekend? The weather in many parts of the country, mine included, it frightful, and freezing! Be safe, and keep warm if you are in one of those places, if you are somewhere warm and sunny, enjoy and think of us!
One last thing! Today is my younger sisters birthday! Happy Birthday Arlene!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!
I hope that this year brings you everything that you wish for! I love you!

Happy B-day to Arlene
and Happy Well-day to
you, Elizabeth! I'm sooo
excited about DA starting
up on PBS, again. I usually
wait and watch it when I

and can savor every little
bit…..
Enjoy your weekend!

Elizabeth, dear friend, I'm so glad to know you are feeling better!!! Enjoy a restful weekend. I have Downtown Abbey on my DVR, and I have yet to watch. Can't wait!
Happy Birthday to your dear sister…I love that list of "wishes". Hope her birthday is just grand!!
I'm sorry the weather is freezing chez toi. It is unseasonably warm here, but as Suzanne knows, the incredible sunrises and sunsets have been the glorious pink and lavender of winter!
Be well, beautiful friend!
(Enjoying all of your goodies SO much!) ;))

So glad you are feeling better! I love your plan for the weekend, "Downton Abbey" and some baking using ingredients left over from Christmas. Sounds very cozy. Stay warm and have a wonderful weekend!
GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS FRIEND!
