POST TWO WEEK AFTER SURGERY

Well time does fly by.  So much to do before our bake sale Saturday.  I went to see Linda and June yesterday afternoon and she  had built two Ginger Bread Houses - too cute.  

THANKSGIVING DAY

How wonderful to have my Alexis, River and Autumn home.  If only I was clever enough to put a photo of the table runner Autumn made for my table scape.  Autumn did the most incredible job on the table runner.  It is exquisite to say the least.  What fun for me and how proud I am of her.  She can do anything she sets her mind to it.
So they came home on Wednesday and Skye and Jon came home Thursday with the pies.  3 pies.  Lovely.  Apple, pumpkin and French Silk all from Bakers Square.
Ali & the kids stayed Wednesday night and Skye & new Beau 'stayed Thursday night - what fun.
First time we met Jon - they have known each other 9+ years but just started dating after having fun together at a mutual friends  wedding.
So October 1st is their Anniversary date - been connected 2 months
 now.  They seem well suited for each other.  He is 12 years older 
than she but she doesn't mind at all.
Skye just took a part time job to make some extra monies to finish off her basement and get out of debt.
Will take her a while.
You should have seen the snow yesterday- it was just beautiful- warm out too - must be 30-34 - too bad it's a heavy wet snow.
Let's see a I had my surgery on November 18th, female surgery, so it's 2 weeks ago today, feels like it's longer ago than that.

Healing takes time and I am not a patient woman.
I just too much to do.  We went to the Rapids, (Grand Rapids) yesterday, but befor we went I made a double batch of Banana Nut Sour Cream Bread, 20 mini-loaves, and 7 dozen Russian Tea Cakes.  Everything is in containers on the back porch, have to use that for my fridge.
I mixed up 3 batches of cookies this morning.  Cut out sugar cookies and Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal cookies and Cottage Cups, they are a lot like Pecan Tassies.  Having fun but I do run out of 
energy quickly.  Now to bake everything.  That's time consuming.
Oh I wish you could see the two bald eagles in our largest pine tree at the side of the field.  They come down to the middle of the field and eat the fish guts that Jim throws out.
