I Like Thursday #256


 I'm feeling better so I'm back to I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more bloggers who post positive content every Thursday. Before all the Christmas madness begins, I thought I'd share a picture of Apple Cider Sangria. I ordered this drink a few weeks ago when we went out to eat. There was cinnamon sugar along the rim. So tasty!!

I read this book recently. I think I read it years ago but I had forgotten the story. It was also a mini-series back in the late 70's. It's a story about a family who leaves New York City for a safer and calmer life. They get exactly the opposite! Stephen King based his Children of the Corn on this book. I really enjoyed it.

We're finally replacing the carpeting in our family room. I have the bookshelf about half emptied. This is the largest room in the house. We kept putting it off because of what a pain it will be to empty the entire room. We're getting there! I am looking forward to the new carpeting. The old carpeting has had it!! Sorry that the picture is a little crooked. Lily is sleeping on my lap and I'm trying not to disturb her!

The prompt this week asks what dish we usually take to family dinners. I usually bring dessert this time of year. Pumpkin pie is one of favorites to make for gatherings. I have an awful sweet tooth!

That's it for me! Have a wonderful weekend. It's actually raining today which is great. We've been in a drought for quite a while!

Snow and Quilting

 Well, we survived the storm! I've heard differing amounts but it's safe to say we got around 20" of snow. This is a picture of...
