Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet. Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe. https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods. One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup. Broccoli and shedder cheese soup. My oldest granddaughter Raygen bought h...
I did harvest a nice buck on one my trips. The Lord just simply found favor in me on that cold Georgia morning.
I've gotten all my Christmas decor done except for my dining table and I am doing it tomorrow I hope. I did get the most important part of my decor up early though and have been enjoying this beautiful nativity set my three daughters gave to me.
As most of you know I was challenged to do a focus board each month for the new year, 2022. I have been faithful to do that each month and it has been so good for me in lots of ways. My December focus says it all for me.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week and I will be dropping in this week to visit, God willing. God bless each of you and may all of your Christmas wishes come true.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Look at you with that big Buck that you got. That's great! Sorry things are a bit hectic for you. I suppose December can be that way. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a wonderful December.
DeleteHi Cindy, so happy to see you post. I follow you on IG, so I know you have been busy with your family as I have. Enjoy the season!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. Happy December.
DeleteHello Cindy, I am so glad to read your post and know that you are well. I am glad your FIL is much improved. Blessings to you, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you as well.
DeleteI was beginning to wonder, but had seen your posts on FB, so knew you were alive and well! That buck is huge! I hope you all enjoy lots of good venison dinners from that one! What all do you fix with that? I'd be curious to know. Love your nativity set! That is really really special, especially that your daughters all gave it to you. And I love your focus board and verses. That's been very special to see each month. God bless you dear friend. I hear you about normalcy, etc. It's been crazy for us too, but it's all good and we are blessed. Have a very Merry Christmas season.
ReplyDeletePam, we make all sorts of dishes with our deer venison. We love it. I've truly enjoyed my focus boards each month.
DeleteI'm glad that Marty's dad is doing better. Your scripture verse is a sweet reminder that Jesus is our hope and our strong tower. I'm glad you enjoyed the hymn on my blog. I do love some of the modern contemporary Christian music but there is something about those old hymns that touch my heart. Have a lovely week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks you Melanie. I love all different types of music and songs. I have listened to what you posted this morning and it sure brought joy to my heart.
DeleteCongrats on the buck! Nothing like food in the freezer. ☺️
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you had run off to... So glad that you popped in to update us.
Many blessings this December...
Thank you dear Vee.

DeleteYou are my favorite huntress, Miss Cindy! It was good to read a post from you. You have been very faithful with your message board, and your nativity set from your daughters is beautiful! I am enjoying mine that my family gave me years ago. Thank you for popping in to visit my little blog.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the blessings of the Advent Season.
Awe, thanks Kitty.
DeleteI see you'll have a freezer full of venison!! I love chili made with venison, so good! Was good to see your FIL was well enough to go hunting with you, hope he remains well. As always, your Christmas decorations are lovely, look forward to seeing more. Merry Christmas

ReplyDeleteThanks Lea.
DeleteOh it's so good to see you again, sweet Cindy! I'd come by here and there to see if you'd written and all I can say is that you've been missed. You are a ray of sunshine, girl! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas season. I know there'll be lots of love and laughter and joy around the table because that's who you are.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, one of blogging's many pleasures is that we make our own schedule and can come and go as we please. It's all grace. Enjoy right where you are, friend.

Thank you Linda. You sure have a way of brightening up my day.
DeleteI'm glad you're doing well and enjoying your December! It's going too fast!
ReplyDeleteHappy December Heather Lou.
DeleteLike you, Cindy, I've had some things going on that prevented me from indulging in blog reading and commenting as much as I like to do. But everybody understands, and we are just glad to see that you are still alive and well! (smile) Your decorations and sharing Scripture are always inspiring and helpful to me in the deepest places of my being. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara.
DeleteWow, that is a nice buck! Very impressive, my friend! Sending hugs your way tonight. :)
