The In Between Week

 It's the in between week - Christmas and New Year

I honestly don't even know for sure what day it is, but I don't care.    So, what have I (we) been doing?  


Starting to take all of this down and pack away.


This was my Christmas gift from Al.  I somehow scrolled on Pinterest and saw this cover to this book.  I did some research on it and knew I wanted a copy.  This is 1949, 1st Edition, based on real chickens the author owned and to top it off, one of my favorite illustrators.  It's a smaller chapter book a couple hour read.  I LOVE the story to it!  It had me in tears and laughing - message behind it was so special.  

I (we) watched Netflix, Victoria and Empress, however I (we) am taking a break from starting anything new now.  

I (we) want to clean up pantry by using up old before we restock with new.  So we made lasagna and I made 3 freezer meals for later.  When I was in the hospital, Al said it would have been nice to have something I made (smile).  So, I think we will keep doing bigger batch cooking and freezing for ease or convince later.




We had so much cheese left over from Christmas too.  Is that just a Wisconsin thing?  Well, one can never have too much cheese.  



I did lasagna roll ups for the freezer.  

Al has been using the sauna.  I hope I can get in there sometime soon.  I don't want to risk falling so maybe by February.  I miss it.

I had in home physical therapy today.  Tomorrow I have a reevaluation of my progress.  They will send it over to the surgeon, whom I see on Monday.  

My granddaugter is coming over on Thursday.  She wants to have a "spa" day here.  It is my daughter and son-in-law's 11th anniversary lunch date and whatever other plans they have.  I'm sure some cards will be played as she is such a little card shark!

I plan to do a New Years Day little LIVE sale for my business.  Not sure what I will sell yet, I'll find something tomorrow.  

Well, that's about it.  Several naps taken as well.  

Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

  1. Oh, I love Garth Williams too! My favorite book as a very young child was "Baby Animals". When I was a teenager, I realized that the drawings were by Garth Williams. And I looked for his books when I read books to children. (I was a popular babysitter in my teens!) He spent time in England, did you know? I have all kinds of connections to England, I don't look for them, they are just there!

    1. I did look up all the books he illustrated. Several Little Golden Books. I think that this book was a message for me too, as I never heard of it or was even looking for it. But, the message blessed me. Thanks for the comment
