Keeping busy

The sun is shining in the valley once again and all is well with the world.


The dishes have been done, the laundry is drying, Pandora is playing, and I am enjoying a little quite time...Little Buddy and Babs are outside digging in the dirt.


This morning I decided to make Bread Pudding.  I have been craving it for the past few days and the last time I had it was last March when my mom and I were on vacation in Cannon Beach, Oregon.  After searching and searching for a place to eat breakfast (apparently most of the shop owners take Tuesdays off), we finally found a little run down cafe...they had a simple little display case and only thing that looked appealing was their bread pudding...it was SO, SO yummy.  So this morning I was craving some and after looking around on the Internet I found a recipe here.  It was yummy and something different but unfortunately my bread pudding didn't live up to the memory...isn't that always the way!  Oh well,  it was something fun to make and the Littles seemed to enjoy it.


I was able to spend some time outside early this morning taking pictures.  I used to take pictures all the time, of all sorts of things but over the years I have gotten out of the habit and have only been taking pictures of my children and family (not a bad thing of course, but I really ENJOY taking pictures of other things too!).  Oh if the neighbors could have seen me...they would have thought I lost my mind.  Picture this:  me wearing my hot pink bathrobe, no make up, hair still up in a messy bun, crouched down taking pictures of ugly looking branches....wearing my husband's (huge) shoes!  Ha ha!  True story.

This is what I saw today:

 
 
 
I also wanted to show you a project that I've been working on...


It is a gift for my best friend (who lives in Texas).  I saw several examples of String Art while browsing through Pinterest and it looked easy so I thought I would give it a try.  What a fun project!!  I am working on an outline of the Philippines for my brother now.  We might have to move after this, I am pretty sure that my neighbor hates me after all that hammering.  He he.

Hope that you are having a wonderful day!

xoxo
