Lazy Bunch on a Bone-Chilling day

Oh my nerves ! It's a cold one today. Not enough blankets to plug the draughts . CoCo is hunkered down in his cardboard box bed ,Sunny is stretched out on the sofa and Oreo is curled in a ball on the back of the couch. and mama is still in her jammies and a nice cozy sweater. Listening to CBC radio  and the gusting gales outside . Just a hanging out day ,doing whatever comes to mind as the day unravels.   It's days like this that I so appreciate a snuggly nest to envelope me .How I take safe and warm shelter for granted.  On days like this all I need is warmth and a pot of tea to feel I'm one of the luckiest women in the world.

Working at the Cafe

Had a great day today helping out at the Chatterbox while Noreen is off on a little adventure of her own. Always enjoy working with Greg and seeing all the Friday gang . Time passed quickly as we were quite busy . Other than leaving one of the pans of cookies in the oven  too long and giving them rather dark bottoms ( just the way I prefer them ) things went really well.   I have to admit that helping out at the cafe is one of my favourite things to do from time to time  as  I have always had thoughts of  having my own cafe over the years  .But now that I'm retired I'm not willing to give up so much of my life and time . But so glad Noreen and Greg have done so for as long as they have but certainly understand why they are now to move on to something else if all goes well .

I see the snow is changing as I peer from the window and expect it will rain soon . I'm just going to stay nestled in for the night by the fire.    The Muse
