Monday Musings // Gingerbread Cookies + Dandelions

No school all week. Celebrating Thanksgiving Day with plates of turkey, yeast rolls, and baked potatoes, and taking a few moments around the table to count our blessings. Staying up late to watch Sue Thomas FBEye for the first time. Enjoying 60+ degree weather. Picking dandelions . . . twice: once from the ground, and again from my sister's hair. And then making gingerbread cookies with some of my favorite girls (resulting in flour on the floor, an episode of roller-pin chasing, plenty of laughter, and a pretty good batch of cookies, if I do say so myself). 

Yep, it's been a great week. 😄



How was your Thanksgiving? Ever made a wish on a dandelion?  

Blessings,
Ellen S.

      Ooh, nice! What're your thoughts on Sue Thomas? So far I've seen only the first couple of episodes (The Pilot parts one and two, and Bombs Away), and look forward to watching more. 😊

    2. Well, there’s a tad bit of romance in a few episodes (and some kisses between some guys and ladies) but other than that, it’s really good and appropriate for ages. We really enjoy them and always get a good laugh out of them. 😀

  7. I had a great Thanksgiving!! We made five pies (which was way more than we truly needed!). There weren't any episodes of roller-pin chasing, but there was plenty of roller-pin swinging. (No one was hurt. 😆) SO glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving too!

    3. Ah, yes, I'm sooooo looking forward to watching that one! My mom and I are hoping Sue and Jack will get married for real. (but don't tell me if they do, please. hard as it may be, we've decided to wait it out and see for ourselves.) 😊
