weekend update

Well.
I was going to say we are all well, but, turns out that I've been sick.
Fear not! I'm on the mend, finally, this evening.
And what's been going on....

It seems this is one of those winters with lots of snow. We've had one big storm, a couple of small snows and are awaiting another storm. I like snow, so I'm pretty excited.
We've been enjoying our fireplace an awful lot and congregate in front of it on Sunday afternoons to watch infomercials.  K will wander away and return with cheese and bread or cook us something delicious (Cuban Stew tonight) and we have cozy dinners. It's been really nice. Presently, I'm awaiting the arrival of W - back and finished with his life in Paris. He's had a rough time and I'm very happy to have him home.

Loretta sent me this today:

if this isn't you, then I'm a monkey's uncle.

She's got me pegged, doesn't she?


I'm having a bag crisis! A crise de handbag!

My wonderful Fossil messenger bag is falling apart (torn pockets, fraying handle) and I've spent a long time browsing to no avail.
I did, however, see this -


nice, eh? Don't get any ideas.

What about this?!



It KILLS ME.

Point is? I need to stay away from Pinterest for a little while.

And this?



This is the North Sea.
Tomorrow I'll tell you about the North Sea.
