I don't know yet. We'll decide that day. :) what might you bake?

everything is mostly fine! It's a good idea to rest even when you are feeling better, hope you enjoy the day off and get rest and feel even closer to usual. Thanks for asking after me. I'm not sick, grateful for physical health in fact, but I've been feeling the isolation.

themes are hard, I agree. I often take a single new (or old but not often used) item and let it inspire the HA by color or style.

Sometimes she only comes for an hour or so.. but generally she books THE WORKS and is there for like 4 hours. So draining. Maybe she'll cancel xDD I forgot that almond cookies were crunchy so I was not expecting that when I bit into it, but they're good! I'd make them again I think.. though I do prefer a soft cookie.

Hi everyone, hope all are well :)


this is unusual for us to have this kind of weather.
Nope no Valentine plans, when you get this old , we just appreciate what we've done for each other all year long.
How about you? Any plans?

Ooooo! This is one of my favorites Rooftops of Tehran by Mahbod Seraji, I'll send you a pic of it on FB ^0^ I remember really loving this one. It's been many years since I read it though D:

Oh my gosh, 4 hours?!?! That's insane! :O I'm with you on that one, I much prefer soft cookies too. I altered my grandmother's gingerbread cookie recipe so that the cookies would be soft XD

Yep. 4 full hours. But she tips fairly so I can't complain all that much xD I just made a loaf of french braided bread. It smells SO good in here!

She better tip well :K 😂

Ooooooooo I wish I could have some 👀 I love bread -

I guess it's like writing, only easier, inspiration hits when it hits! Speaking of writing, I hope you're inspired and getting a lot done!!

I'm going to break down and buy one of the two you've mentioned. Right now I'm reading a book that's so stupid and boring I don't even remember the name. It's on my Kindle and was probably free on Amazon.

We have about a foot of snow and it's still snowing. We only get snow every few years and seldom sticks. Liz and I walked our big dog and I carried one of the little guys in a dog sling. It was fun and knowing the snow will be gone tomorrow or Monday makes it even more fun! lol

I got that first book at a discount book store XD Might be why it's not in your library. You should look on eBay! I get a lot of used books off of there for cheap. Unless you prefer to buy on your kindle? :O

DANG! That's a lot of snow ^0^ I wish we could get some snow here already 😭

I'm sneaky like that. ^-^
Thank you! My throat's still a little sore, but I'm glad to be feeling better! I finally have enough energy to work on some more crochet later. Haha, and thank you! <3 Ah, yeah, I can see how it'd be a time sink. I'm never on my phone, though...it's still in my purse right now. xP I've gotten lost watching YouTube videos before though...so it's probably about the same. Oh, that's neat to have a story for each HA! That's right, it is Lunar New Year...I've been coloring related pictures but forgot. Your HA does look very celebratory. As for Ox animals, I swear I could remember one...so I did some digging and did find if that helps!

Oh, haha, not a planner? I know some people plan far ahead what they're doing for Valentine's. xP I might bake some cookies or scones...depends if I feel like doing it I suppose. Or maybe some pumpkin bread since we have so many cans of pumpkin in the house. ^^

Thank you! Certainly been resting today, haha. Plus, it's cold and rainy and gray, so a good day to do nothing, as my mom would say. xP I'm glad you're feeling physically well, but yeah the pandemic can really take it's toll. I didn't get out much pre-pandemic, so it's not affecting me as much, but I know it's hard for others. I hope you feel better soon or are able to do something to feel better. <3

Ah, so you're not exactly prepared for the weather? When I used to be in school here, any little bit of snow and everything would be cancelled, haha. Aww, that's sweet, though. I hope you have a great Valentine's. <3 Nope, no plans here. I might bake something, but we'll see. ^^ I could watch a romantic comedy or something...but that's not exactly my cup of tea. c;

Nah. It's a cool holiday and all but I'm not a big planner, no. Pumpkin bread sounds delicious.

Oh yeah! I used to buy books from ebay too. I had forgotten about it. The reason I like the Kindle better is I don't have to turn a light on. As simple as that!! :-P I may go have a look around though! Thank you for the reminder!! You're still a brat though! ;-)

:-D You didn't get in before I posted today! I was laughing expecting you to have. Oooh crocheting!! crochets too. I'm thinking you already knew that. And what are you making? And thank you for posting that item!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 As you can see I had to buy it and use it! :-) I swear I looked on the Lodge and couldn't find anything. I hope the sore throat is gone soon!

Hey how are you? :-)

hmm, not into romantic movies or books.
I grew up in snow weather lol. but here they just don't have it.

yes, very similar, I suppose! And - you found an ox, good ❤

it's okay so far this weekend. Even though the weather didn't help, I managed to get outside for a walk today and that helped. ❤

Tired, but I feel like I did a lot today, so I'll take it! How are you doing, hon? <3

yea it was cold.. too cold to even think about doing anything so last week was very blah but its slowly started warming on friday and its getting better everyday :)

yea it is quite a small screen, it was awesome at the time but now my switches are the best and also being able to play on the tv makes some really big ;)

yes it sure was.. its slowly getting warmer. i did some questing but also did a lot of nothing :P started rewatching a show as i missed years without having satellite tv.

oh yea way too cold. it was so cold the only thing you don't cover with layers is your eyes so you can see where your going cold. sledding is fun but alberta is not known for its hills to ride on :/ yea my whole week turned to blah with it being so damn cold, its finally getting warmer.. so things are getting better. :D i hope you're feeling better and oh what did you volunteer to do? we don't watch sports, LOL

You know, that is a good point! XD When I was reading last I would use my phone light at night so I could ready LOL! I really need to just buy a book light but the last one I had was terrible >_< I have a nook but that company died so D: I don't even know where the charger is to my nook either LOL. You're still a butthead :P

HI! I was wondering about you but didn't want to bug you <3 How have you been? :3

haha, hi, can't bug me when i'm not here xD it was a very slow and cold week, friday started to get warmer and its been slowly getting better. tomorrow here in alberta is family day so the kids and i are gonna do a mini marvel marathon, as we won't be able to watch 'em all xD

Awww that sounds like a lot of fun! <3 I'm glad it's starting to warm back up for you!

yes i missed a lot of the older ones. yes , thanks.. its a lot nicer. just can't wait until winter is over
