A Day Of Possibilities

Today's a freeeee paid day off. I'm trying to decide just what to do with it. There are so many possibilities, although I have limited them to ONLY things that I want to do. Absolutely no HAVE TOs today.

Go Me. So, shall I choose to bake a couple of apple pies? Just the thought of the smell in the house is very enticing. I have all the ingredients on hand. I could go through recipes and decide what to bake for the holidays. I'm thinking of the old time favorites of the girls. Russian teacakes, Shortbread, Pecan Tarts, Holiday Bread, Grandma's Caramel Corn..........maybe even some good old tried & true electric skillet Peanut Brittle. Oh, and I haven't had Wheatie's Cherry Blinks in years & years. Need to gather up recipes and make a grocery list. Then, plan a day. I have them all free from now until someday......................wow, that's pretty cool when I think of it that way!

What a nice time of year to be off work. Seriously, if you gotta lose your job, it's pretty great to have it at the most stressful part of the year. I get to go in slow motion this year. Yes, this is a very good thing. Hmmm, funny how your outlook can can change so drastically in just a few days? And with a lot of grace, I'll be able to hold onto the positive.

So, what else could I get into? I could embroider & bead the hat, scarf & glove set that I'm regifting. I got it last year, off white soft fleece, very pretty, just not quite "me". I put it up as I knew I'd find the right recipient. I want to do a simple "I believe in angels" theme. Simple writing and a few beads here and there. It's for my friend we're making the stained glass door for. She's a collector of angels. Her door is my rendition of her farm with her favorite guardian angel looking down on it. It's nearer to getting done each week. It's beautiful already. I can't wait to lift it up and look through it. That's the best part, to actually see that your work LOOKS as you planned it would with the light going through it. Again, photos when I learn how to do it. That's another thing on my list. I'll have time now. Smile.

Gee, this is fun. I think I'll see what other options I can come up with. Maybe I'll be back later..............come on, do something YOU want to do along with me. xox
