POT ROAST FOR 2

I was craving corn on the cob when I woke up this morning … so, after getting ready to meet the day, when I grabbed them from the freezer, I also pulled a pot roast (half a regular roast because that is ‘widow size’ and leftovers for a sandwich 😉).

Sparkly 'Lt. Lilac' eyebrow, 'Plum' eyelid, 'Brown' liners & glittery ‘Lionheart’ accent lid color; 'Deep Violet' Mascara; & 'Nude Burn' Creme blush.
'Auburn' Eyebrow Gel & ‘Primrose Lipstick.
Glittery 'Sparked' Nail Polish, and a wooden bead & painted driftwood bits bracelet.
My old, comfortable, worn moccasins felt good on my feet today.

As I was putting the lid on the crockpot, Holland called and asked: "How does 2 months from now, sound to you?"

From that 1 question, I'm thinking February will be the "I DO" month; as soon as that ring is paid for – he wants it on my finger asap.

I told yu'all my life happens FAST: the men in my life just want me in theirs as soon as the wedding rings are seen, sized, and bought.

My 1st fast marriage gave me 44 wonderful years – there's every reason to think my 2nd fast marriage will give me a good run of wonderful memories, too.

Obviously, I agreed to wear their rings and their Name, so both of the men in my life were/are "one hell of a man" ;-)

Before we ended the chit-chat, I invited him to join me for supper; he might as well sample my cooking now, before the deal is sealed 😉

Pot Roast Supper for 2.

I haven’t cooked for a man in four years … but apparently the meal passed inspection because nothing was wasted 😊

Holland left an hour after supper though, because snow and freezing rain is in the forecast tonight; and through the weekend – and he lives on a hill that should see some of that prediction: but, he arrived an hour before supper was finished, and we spent time together; so, he didn’t eat and run 😉

After, he texted to let me know he’d made it home without incident, I lit the Hanukkah candles. And after they burned down, I burned off the fatty pot roast with in-house exercises while waiting for the forecasted snow to fall here (if it actually falls in the lowlands).

BLESSINGS

This holiday time has been so blessed 😊

I have been able to stand, walk, drive, and enjoy Thanksgiving, this year.

And I have been able to stand, walk, drive, and enjoy Hanukkah this year.

These are blessings – I have not been able to do these things the past 2 years; so, I am rejoicing and thanking Elohim profusely for these blessings.

My leg is doing much better; I have been pampering it, to make sure I would be able to enjoy the holidays this year. I’ve been careful not to inflame that piriformis muscle – pampering seems to be working.

Hanukkah is almost over; this is Night 5 already. 

I started decorating for Christmas this afternoon … and listened to every Christmas CD I have to keep me in the moment/in the mood (I had one shaky moment where I shook off threatening tears: holding Bob’s stars), I was kinda excited about decorating this year: most of the decorating is done, I just have a few things to finish up tomorrow 😉

The first thing I did, was hang the plastic canvas/sparkle yarn snowflakes that I made last winter (I hung18 ct.; spaced across all front-end-windows) ...

Then I hung two of the Magen David Stars that Bob designed and crafted for me in 2015.

The stars are blessings: love gifts ... reminders of my husband’s love for me. I am glad I have them, here.

Christmas 2015 on Sparks Drive: the stars came with us to this house, when we moved here in 2017.

Today’s date is interesting: it’s a palindrome, which is a number sequence that reads the same backward, as forward. It is also an ambigram – which is a fairly new term, and means that today’s date visibly remains unchanged when flipped upside down. This does not happen very often, so today’s date has been touted as “very rare”.
