It’s still a little messy around here but we are enjoying running water and a cook top again. The backsplash should all be on the wall sometime later today and then tomorrow or Monday the grouting can be done. It’s nice to know that for sure it will all be done well before Christmas.
Our little Addy is enjoying new foods introduced into her diet. Our DIL sent us this latest photo. It makes me smile. She’s eating pumpkin, chicken, and pear. Jamie makes Addy’s food instead of using overly processed baby food from the store.
Last night we had a little birthday party dinner for our Daughter in law/love, Laura. We enjoyed Lovella’s Cocktail Sausage Wreath as an appetizer and it was a big hit! I’m going to make it again on Wednesday for our Small Group Christmas gathering. Click on Lovella’s name to head over to Mennonite Girls Can Cook to see the method.
I’m learning so many new things from my SIL Kelly’s Advent in Art series. Today is Day 2 Mosaic in Chora Church, Turkey. I’m getting an art history lesson that I’ve never had before.
Happy first Advent weekend everyone!

Little Addy’s “mess” is the cutest!!! So glad you have a mostly functioning kitchen again. I’m sure you are so pleased! Happy weekend to you.
Addy looks like she is enjoying her meal . . . but I’m going to have to go with Lovella’s sausage wreath! 🙂 Sounds like you are on the home stretch with your kitchen remodel!
This picture of Addy is precious! I have a cute picture of my oldest Dylan eating applesauce for the first time. It’s Pericles with his puckered up face! Good for you with the almost done kitchen remodel…you will get great use out of it! Your sausage wreath looks yummy, Ellen!🤗
I noticed Kelly’s link and hope I have time to go over and check it out. Looks interesting!
Happy Birthday to Laura!
