Hello! I hope your January is going well. We had a wonderful time while my Mom visited and now my brother-in-law's girlfriend has been staying with us for the past 2 weeks. She's been working on an art project, so I've enjoyed her company while I work, too.
I got a couple of cooking breaks while my mom was here. My favorite thing she made was chicken and biscuits.
One afternoon, we enjoyed walking around our old downtown and I found a few new treasures, including these little birds.
Vintage lace.
An beautiful stationery set.
And creme brulee candles.
Well, that is what we've been up to. Grace's 12th birthday (yikes!) is this coming Monday, so we are having a family party Saturday evening. She's requested ribs and mashed potatoes. I'll share pictures next week!
ETA: I don't have a recipe for the chicken and biscuits. The stew was made from leftover roast chicken and drop biscuits on top.
Until next time...
Until next time...

Looking at that chicken and biscuit, my mouth is watering. Guess I should be thinking about my dinner tonight. So glad to hear you are having a wonderful January.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a lovely visit with family and enjoyed a change of pace! I always love it when my Mum and I can work together to make a meal - but I always really miss her when she leaves! I sometimes wish we lived in an era where generations lived under one roof and worked shoulder to shoulder!
ReplyDeleteYour so inspiring with your pictures and words. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI know how special these times with your Mother are. Love the birds.
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
