Sorry for the late post and no story today!!

Evening Sweet Friends,

*

Well, I am sorry this is posting so late,

but my day did not go as planned!!

*

That is why you should always say you will

do whatever, Lord willing!!

*

Here is a pic that somehow got lost in between

downloading and publishing yesterday, it happens to me

all the time, don't know what I do wrong or if it is

just the blog or formatting or whatever!!

*

My sink overlooks the family room, and I

absolutely love the open kitchen idea, whoever

came up with that had to be a lady that was sick

of being stuck in the kitchen alone on holidays. lol

*

Also, think gift bags were also invented by a

harried Mom, tired of being up late on Christmas

wrapping presents for everyone! lol

*

Well, here is the scoop I have pics of what my

story is about and I have looked high and low

and can not find them. Am praying the Lord

will direct me to them soon, but today evidently

was my timetable, not His!

*

So we will see what happens tomorrow. Meanwhile

I am racking my brain trying to figure out where in

the world I could have put them. I have pretty

much checked all those spots, but I did realize

I was looking for a folder and they are not in

a folder, that was our hurricane Charlie pics,

that is a whole nother exciting post for another

time, probably in the next few months.
*

Just figured out I think they are in the small

envelope you get them in when you have them

developed, cause we did not have a digital

camera back then.

*

I can do the story without them, but think

it would be a lot better with them. So please

be patient with me. Cause once I find them

I have to take pics of them so that I can

download them on the computer, at least

I hope that works, hubbby thinks it will!

*

Anyway, I hope you have had a very nice

day today. Mine has been busy but very good.

I am preparing to have 3 friends over for

brunch tomorrow morning, so I have been

vacuuming, and setting a nice table and baking

cranberry orange nut bread, and making

ham, cheese and brocoli crustless quiche,

and looking for pics, and then decided to make

some cranberrybutter to go with it. Had that at

our last ladies tea at church and it was delicious.

It tastes great even on wholegrain bread

as well, and it is just a few minutes to

whip together!

*

Found this recipe online today.

*

Cranberry Butter

.

1/2 cup butter softened

(I used land of lakes light butter with canola oil)

It has no hydrogenated oils, and it is delicious

and heart healthy and you want have to

wait for it to soften, cause it is already soft.

.

2 tablespoons of whole cranberry sauce

.

1 teaspoon of pure orange extract

.

1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

.

.

Mix all ingredients together in medium bowl until

smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve..

.

Doesn't get much easier than that!!

*

So try it out, you might just like it on your breakfast

toast, even the cranberry sauce itself was good like that.

I just had to sample everything, ya know!!

*

Well, friends you have a wonderful evening,

gotta go finish up a few things for tomorrow.

*

Hubby and I just came in for mowing and

weedeating and blowing the yard,

course, we didn't have enough time to do

the back, but it will wait for tomorrow

evening. It was starting to get dark, and

then it was lightning off in the distance,

I was praying we could get done quickly

before it got closer.

So mission accomplished!!

*

Well, thanks for coming by,

*

Talk with ya tomorrow

*

Blessings and Hugs,

Nellie
