Yesterday strong winds terrorized our area.. Today still chilly and windy but the sun is shinning.. We were suppose to be on our way to Indy this morning but plans didn't work out so I am home doing my daily chores instead.. Laundry started... beds made.. and morning coffee completed.. I just pulled a nice large beef roast from the freezer and will prepare it and place it in the oven early afternoon.. with carrots and potatoes to simmer all afternoon...Last evening watching the TV and the news reports.. I found to be very troubling and decided I needed to distance myself from them for several days... The events of Penn State are dis- hearting.. along with many more.. I guess the media will be leaving Ohio State alone for awhile...Wish we could relay to the students however that rioting sure is not a answer.. can only cause injury and further problems... So fearful for the safety of others... Hope all will mend itself over time and more caring for one another can be shown... I think that is the reason I am so content just to be on our little amount of acres in the country.. on a peaceful setting.. It is always important to try to remember the good and bathe in it.. The simple blessings and value of living a clean life and slow respect to others. Back to the values of the past we were taught... especially as we enter into the holiday season.. it is always important to remember that the price of the present isn't nearly as important as the thought placed into it.. The quality of time spent.. you can't place a price tag on that... Maybe it would be a lovely gift is this year one would give a gift of more of one's self... Time with others... Why not place this a top of our to do list... #1 spend quality time with others and making this a present...
As most of you will be entering into a time of decorating your homes and making them warm and inviting for family and friends.. As my readers know I was on a zero dollar decorating theme this year... If you truly become somewhat creative and just freshen things up and use them in a different manner than the past it is not the hard to do... Actually it can be quite astonishing.. wonderful and personal... Don't forget to use vintage mirrors as a base when placing together vignettes atop them.. The extra sparkle and reflection and charm is amazing...
Sending best wishes to you as you travel through this day.....
