Santa Painting, Menu and a Though

Had a good weekend. After church yesterday Coco and I started painting our Santa's. Mine will be going in my entry way. We didn't get to finish them due to the paint taking forever to dry. But I wanted to share a few pictures with you. I had to take Coco out of the photos so she wouldn't post scary pictures of me on her blog.

 Santa is in pieces

Body and the arms and then his head.

I am hoping I am able to work on mine today. Coco and her family left this morning so I will put hers away till she is here next time. The Santa is about 3 1/2 ft. tall and simple yet charming.
 I am meeting up with my BFF Tracy again. I can't wait for good conversation and laughter with her today.
My menu for this week is using items from my freezer and food storage that needs to be rotated.

Salisbury steak
Green beans
Roll

Crock-pot roasted chicken
Mash taters with gravy
Peas

Dump soup
Bread

Thanksgiving Day Feast

Leftovers from Thanksgiving.
 Simple yet will meet the needs of the family.

We are getting to a very busy time of the year so just a reminder take time to do the things you love. Smile at others and try not to lose patients while out running errands. The Holidays can be much more pleasant if we remember to do these things. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

Thursday

I wanted to share something I thought was funny. My Son in Love said to me, after the carolers left last night ,"You are the only person that I know that has more lights inside their house and more trees inside their house than outside!". He should have seen it when I had 48 trees. Long story short when we moved up north into a 1100 sq. ft cabin we had 2 storage sheds for our stuff. We talked and decided we should down size and get rid of items we won't be using. Thinking I wouldn't be living in a bigger house again I started clearing out the storage sheds and gave a lot of stuff to make room and save money on the storage rent. Sniff Sniff well we only have 15 trees now. Oh how I miss my forest! I can't wait till the after Christmas sale. Watch out if you see me coming if you are near the trees.
My hubby said instead of being the lady that they find dead in her home with millions of cats I will be surrounded by my trees!
I am not really crazy I just love Christmas trees!
Speaking of trees, did anyone watch the HGTV White House Decoration show last night? OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to work in the pastry kitchen or the decorating, or kitchen in the White House. Okay not now that the new administration is going to be in office but maybe when the Republicans are in again and it is someone worthy to hold the office. ( Don't get me started on politcs!) HEY maybe I will run for President! No they would kick me out I have a hot head. he he
Enough of the rambling and I haven't even had my Diet Coke yet.
Having an odd Thursday not sure why things just feel off.
Talk to you later. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
