Enjoying the cool and rain today. An indoor day with BBQ Chicken baking in a cast iron skillet...baked macaroni and cheese topped with buttery crumbs...a tossed green salad with Portabella mushrooms...bits of bacon and Peppercorn Ranch dressing...and Fall Pumpkin Spice cookies with pecans and raisins on top...Autumn on a plate :) No Fast Day Today!
Extremely happy with The Fast Diet though. As of this morning I have lost one stone (14 pounds) and feel so much better. A short term goal of mine is to get back into my black leather pants before the end of the year.
Took the morning to bring out my warmer clothes...pack away some summer stuff...and catch up around here.
A chat with my eldest today and surprised and proud as he has his financial aid/grants and student loans in place now and will soon start college for Business Management (...with his years in all phases of construction this seems like the next logical step...)
And now all three boys are/or have already attended college!
My DIL (to be) and "grand-bump" are fine.
Chris is currently undergoing a shift change should should be beneficial...and surprised me with the announcement that he is teaching himself to play the violin...no- not that obnoxious "fiddle music" but classical violin. Oh and a few riffs from Skyrim of course. He has ordered a new one from Dan and his birthday $$$ will help make his quest a reality.
I can't wait to hear.
Lennon is continuing at Tampa with his courses...and is finishing his bachelor's degree there. A heavier class-load this semester and has been swamped, but doing very well. Looking forward to seeing him next April.
So proud of all of them! Can you tell...???
So everything is peaceful at The Den today...Tucker curled up sleeping...laundry finally caught up...and the house spelling wonderful of spices and warm food. And it's back to working on my manuscript. Life is good!
